Memory of holiday -The Aquarium in Gdynia

The impressive and very-well-located building at the end of the Southern Pier contains the Gdynia Aquarium. With a combined scientific and educational character the place is a cross between a museum and a water zoo.
The aquaria are huge, and arranged to reflect natural conditions, so the animals living there can be watched in their natural habitats.  Crocodiles, snakes, crabs and tortoises, i.e. the animals of sea and land, introduce their world, which normally is not available to humans, with its natural side unknown to many. The real aesthetic and exotic impressions are fully realised in the next room, continuing the warm-water fish and real living coral reef with colourful fish living there next to other animals, whose names are difficult to remember and whose shapes are outstanding. The most popular exhibits of the Gdynia Aquarium are the sharks and the octopuses.  The sharks are not big, as they are quite young, but the visitors still feel respect for their older siblings. The octopus astonishes crowds of visitors who gather at the glass wall in awe of this unusual animal.
