uShaka Marine World, Durban, South Africa
What better reason to travel to one of the most beautiful places on earth – South Africa – than to visit one of the most unique aquariums in the world: The uShaka Marine World in Durban. Resembling a ship’s wreckage and containing 32 tanks, visitors can enjoy practically all ocean life and even get a bite to eat surrounded by fish. It’s so immersive you’ll feel like you’re eating under the sea!
The Aquarium of Western Australia
If you’d like an aquarium that specialises in all things aquatic that the land-down-under has to offer, then you should seriously consider taking a trip to the Aquarium of Western Australia, just outside of Perth. As Australian’s largest aquarium, it’s a spectacle to witness in and of itself, but with saltwater crocodiles, sharks and many, many other species of aquatic life found around Australia, you won’t find anywhere like this anywhere else in the world.
Aquadom, Berlin, Germany
Planning a trip to Berlin? If you are, stay at the Radisson Hotel. If you do, you’ll be treated to the amazing views of the Aquadom, which is essentially a 25 m high, cylindrical aquarium that houses 2,600 sea creatures. With an elevator running from the ground floor up to a viewing platform at the top, you’ll have an incredible view of everything in the tank.
The Deep, Hull, UK
Who would have thought that Hull is the home to one of the best aquariums in the world? The Deep in Hull is a filled with 2.5 million litres of seawater and is funded by the public.
