SEA LIFE Timmendorfer beach
Lübeck, Germany Aquarium
One of the Most Revieweds in Timmendorfer Strand SEA LIFE Timmendorfer beach is recommended for families with young children looking for a brief, engaging activity. Be aware of the limited space and consider visiting during off-peak hours to avoid crowds. Weigh the cost against the short duration of the visit. Plan for a 1-2 hour visit. Parking is off-site. Consider visiting mid- to late afternoon to avoid crowds, especially during school breaks. Book tickets in advance, but be aware that timed entry can be a hassle "It's actually beautiful, but not that many things that you can see. My visit ended within 30 minutes." "Quite expensive for its size and buying tickets in advance (including an entry time slot) is a serious hassle." "Very nice and friendly staff who explain and bring us closer to the underwater world." "A nice aquarium with quite a large variety of fish and aquarium animals for its smaller size!" "Made for kids to have an adventure inside."

The whole area are accessible for wheelchair and if you come with children it's not necessity to bring the inside (there is parking available here) because the place is not too huge which children from 2 year old could walking aroud without getting tired and this place is very interesting for them to only see from stroller, they will want to walking and running around and see everything freely and if they eventually tired of walking, you don't have to carry them for too long. I did bring in and it was almost useless because my toddler prefer to walk and move freely to see everything. It was just not practical to watch and folling your toddler and pushing empty stroller. Next time we will leave our outside. Very good aquariums, we saw a lot of interesting sea animals here, the staffs are friendly and kind, very good place to spend weekend with family especially with children. Its a place to spend a few hours. The animals are beautiful and I enjoyed the time. Sadly it is extremely expensive. Would not recommend it for smaller children. From 6 and up. No gluten free options for snacks. A aquarium with quite a large variety of fish and aquarium animals for its smaller size! I recommend going mid- to late afternoon to avoid crowds (although we went during the local school spring break and it was not very full). It has some unique attractions, and many kid-friendly activities too, such as a "petting zoo" with live starfish and a stamp book where kids can collect stamps and get a prize at the gift shop. All animals were easily visible and fairly active, and the water tunnel with sea turtle and sharks was also neat. We took our time and were done after 1.5-2 hours maximum. The 4 stars is for the price/size. Parking is not available directly on-site; you need to park at a nearby shopping center and walk 5-10 minutes. Is a afternoon thing to do! First day we went without tickets and would have had to wait for 4hours to enter, we then decided to buy tickets for another day online, that worked well and we were then able to enter at the time without waiting. The aquarium is kind of small, narrow, crowded, humid and dark. Dark I fully understand to not disturb the fish so much and to be able to see. The tour was great for a kid but we were super fast done with the exhibition, it took us ~45min only We spent about 1.5 hours here with our daughter while visiting Timmendorfer Strand. This isn’t an all day experience but it was entertaining and fun. A little expensive but this is as to be expected in a tourist town. Fantastic place that can delight not only the youngest. Very and friendly staff who explain and bring us closer to the underwater world. Prices very affordable with the possibility of many discounts. After a one-hour journey, you can buy a souvenir and have lunch. place to visit with family. Peaceful, close to the beach. Wheelchair entrance. Always someone ready to answer questions. Made for kids to have an adventure inside. They have a small restaurant. Bathrooms. Dogs are not allowed. The place is and the staff are really friendly, but...WHY IS THE OTTER ALL ALONE??? You can tell sadly how stressed and alone it is, running everywhere, scratching the door to get attention. The place is educational and all, but a lonely Otter I find it to be very cruel. We went back like 3 times wating to see the Otter play with the others, until later we found out there were none. Very sweet staff, many facts to learn and cute gift shop! Upon entering we got a stamp so we were able to return when ever we wanted throughout the day. You can also watch scheduled feedings of different animals. Unfortunately the spaces for the fish were often pretty small, it looked run down and not well taken care of. But the staff was welcoming and open for questions It's actually beautiful, but not that many things that you can see. My visit ended within 30 minutes. Still it was a experience. You are through in around 30 Minutes. for little children. But especially sad I found the sea otter. Was way to small and you could see how bored and sad this poor animal was. They shouldn't keep this animal in such a small space and call them animal friendly. Great place to take kids for an afternoon, they offer some activities for the little ones, but even then, it's so tiny you'll be out within an hour. The tanks are fairly bare with only some artificial decor to go with the fish. Quite expensive for its size and buying tickets in advance (including an entry time slot) is a serious hassle. We were there on an earlier Sunday afternoon and it was nearly empty. But an entire family can barely fit in front of one aquarium. This review may feel as mixed as my visit did.
