I guess if you're under 10 years old this place is pretty cool.
I'm from the Bay Area and have visited the San Francisco Aquarium and the fantastic Monterey Bay Aquarium. Now I wasn't expected to be blown away by this place, but I was completely disappointed. The exhibits were run down and poorly taken care of. I actually felt a little depressed looking at the animal exhibits because it just didn't seem humane to keep them in such conditions. Kids pounding and screaming at the glass. Just sad.
Like I said, this place is for kids, and adults will be bored. They have touch pools and interactive areas. The exhibits varied from snakes and reptiles, to sharks and fish. Honestly, I didn't spend too much time here. Maybe an hour and half, and I had completed a lap around all the exhibits.
Getting to the aquarium from the Bergen harbor, you take a little putput boat for around NOK 70 roundtrip. From there it's a quick five minute walk uphill to the aquarium. Admission was NOK 270. So not worth the money. read more
