SEA LIFE® Konstanz
Hafenstraße 9, Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, 78462
SEA LIFE Konstanz, on the shores of Lake Constance, is an educational, family-friendly aquarium featuring a variety of species, both native to the area and from further afield. Interact with the animals at the rock pool, learn about their behavior, and watch feedings.
The Basics
This popular aquarium offers 35 different pools and habitats containing 3,500 animals. Along with local fish that populate Lake Constance, you'll find Antarctic gentoo penguins, rescued sea turtles, North Sea creatures, and rainforest dwellers—there's even a piranha tunnel and an inhabited wreck. Head to one of the many daily feedings to learn more about the residents and see them at their most active.

Lake Constance
Lake Constance is a popular vacation spot for travelers interested in spending time in nature. Get outdoors on the circular hiking and cycling routes that run along the perimeter of the lake, and visit Rhine Falls, one of Europe's largest waterfalls. The area’s historic attractions include Salem Monastery and Palace, a 12th-century Cistercian abbey just outside of Konstanz, and Meersburg Castle, the oldest inhabited castle in Germany.
