Polaria – an Arctic Experience!

Housed in a very distinctive building that represents ice floes that have been pressed up on land by the rough seas of the Arctic, you will discover Polaria, just five minutes walk from the centre of Tromsø. Polaria has an Arctic aquarium, interesting knowledge-based exhibits, a panoramic cinema, and a gift and souvenir shop.

Along the "Arctic Walkway" you can experience a snowstorm, a dozing polar bear, the tundra and the Aurora (Northern Lights). In the aquarium the main attraction are the bearded seals. The high points are the tunnel that goes under the aquarium itself and the training and feeding of the seals. The aquarium has interesting exhibits of the most common species of fish in the Barents Sea.
