Lofoten Aquarium (Lofotakvariet)
Lofotakvariet
A small aquarium showcasing Arctic marine fish, seals and otters, next to the Lofoten Museum. It's a good choice for families and for days with poor weather.
The aquarium is in Storvågan, beside Kabelvåg. It displays North Atlantic fish such as cod and wolffish. Its outdoor pools house harbour seals and otters, which are fed at set times each day. Other exhibits cover Lofoten's fishing industry and salmon farming. Admission is about 200 Norwegian kroner, and a visit takes about an hour. The neighbouring Lofoten Museum recreates a 19th-century fishing merchant's estate and can be visited at the same time.
Opening hours
