You can follow (yes you can!) the sealife from river Isar down to the black sea - very interesting! More

I must say that we have expected more from SeaLife in Munich. Similar if not better is the one at Legoland. It is quite limited in space with nothing to impress you. Of course the guys there do a good job by preserving the species but that is not enough. If you are at the Olympia Park then go. If... More

Get there early or late as the line always seems to be quite long. Look up feeding times on the website in advance. All exhibits are in German and English. No cafe, but there is a self service restaruant a few steps away in Olympia Park. BMW World, and Olympia Tower are close by so its easy to hit all... More

the sea life munich is located underground at the olympic park and approximately 2200 squaremeters in size. Compared to other public aquaria, it is very small and unspectacular. Even my fiancee - who has never visited a public aquarium before - was quite disappointed. The round trip took us approximately one hour. We visited on a saturday afternoon and the... More

The sea life is OK, but nothing really different from what I have seen in other places. However, the kids loved it, so if you or your family are into the animal kingdom, this is the place to go as well :) More

You'll be impressed! It's cute, but compared to American aquariums (not being snooty, just honest!!), it's really lacking. The majority of fish are fresh water aka what you would see in rural North America. A good collection of tropical fish and rays but nothing out of the ordinary. They do have educational plaques in German AND English, which made it... More

This isn't a very impressive aquarium and it's definitely not worth going at the standard price. Sometimes you can get 2 for 1 coupons in the newspapers and this makes the price more reasonable. There are a few exhibits but it's not very big. It's good for a weekend afternoon to see some fish for 2-3 hours but don't expect... More

Sea life was a interesting and well thought out place with a lot of fish etc there. However it only takes about 20-30 mins to walk round the whole thing, and it cost me and my partner 15 euros each!! which is very expensive when you are on a budget. A good place to entertain the kids though! More
