SeaLife Helsinki transports you into an amazing underwater world

In the middle of Helsinki, you can experience the magic of the deep sea and encounter fascinating sea creatures. Have you ever seen a real shark up close, or are you brave enough to look a piranha in the eye? At SeaLife, you can do all these things while also learning more about the sea and how to help safeguard
its future.

When you are in Helsinki, SeaLife is easy to find. It is located centrally, close to
Linnanmäki, a popular amusement park and tourist attraction. Visiting this magical underwater world is an unforgettable, interactive experience, and there is a lot more to do than just look at the fish.

“At SeaLife Helsinki you can discover sea creatures, not only from Finland, but from all over the world,” explains the general manager, Sanna Laitinen. First, you’ll enter the rainforest area, where you can get to know poisonous frogs, turtles, electric eels and children’s absolute favourites: piranhas. In the tropical area there are beautiful corals and a pufferfish called Fluffy who is quite the showman.

“One of the most exciting experiences we offer are the daily feedings. Everyone
loves to see when the shark snatches food from feeders or how the little fish get excited when they see the food,” says Laitinen. She also suggests visiting the discovery pool, where you have an opportunity to get really close to stunning sea stars and learn more about other fascinating micro-habitats.

“We want our visitors of all ages to learn something new. Friendly guides are always at hand throughout your journey and ready to answer the most curious questions. Guides make facts entertaining and easy to understand even for our youngest explorers. For example, children will leave remembering how it is important not to throw rubbish in the water. It certainly wouldn’t be good if the fish mistook trash for food,” says Laitinen.

At the conservation cove at the end of SeaLife, you have the unique opportunity to meet a nearly-extinct San Ignacio pupfish. SeaLife Helsinki is proud to be a world expert in breeding this species. There, you will also be able to learn more about SeaLife Trust’s other conservation projects, and to find out how you can make a difference.
