Welcome to the fascinating underwater world at SEA LIFE Munich! Located directly in the Olympic Park you'll go an exciting journey through the mysterious marine habitats and discover more than 3,000 sea creatures - from the Danube Delta, the coral cave, the seahorse bay and the Mediterranean port to the Atlantic! Marvel at shimmering sea creatures up close in an eight-meter-long ocean tunnel. The highlight: See the largest variety of sharks in Germany and meet over 20 different shark species such as pyjama cat sharks, zebra sharks or Japanese carpet sharks. In addition SEA LIFE Munich offers other exciting discoveries: very small residents, such as minnows or doctor fish, can be admired as well as impressively large groupers and sea turtle.
