Alongside the Herrenhausen Gardens (across the street from the Great Garden), the Sea Life Hannover Aquarium offers fascinating views of several underwater worlds, with 3,500 square meters (38,000 square feet) of habitats ranging from the local Leine River to the Caribbean and the Amazon. The aquarium hosts 3,500 underwater creatures in 37 pools, including an 8 meter (26 foot) glass tunnel in which visitors are surrounded by sharks, turtles, fish, and other habitants of the sea. A tropical plant dome hosts rain forest vegetation and residents, including crocodiles.
We enter and first visit fish of the Leine River.
Creatures of the Leine
Next, we visit more serious fish of coastal habitats (no sharks or stingrays in the Leine).
Coastal creatures
We walk through the glass tunnel, watching fish, turtles, and sharks on all sides of us.
Through the tunnel
A few more displays of beautiful small fish, then on to the crocodiles and the rain forest.
Small, but pretty
Not small, not pretty
Into the rain forest
