Activity

Octopus Dissection for Groups
Practical Information
Duration: 1 hour
Number: Up to 15 octopuses (two or three people can share one octopus) and 30 people in total
Age: Everyone is welcome to participate—but children under 10 should be assisted by an adult
Price: 1,490 DKK + museum admission
Hours: The activity can be booked Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., except during school breaks.
What to Wear: Since squid ink can be messy, we recommend wearing clothes that can get a little dirty.

Where is an octopus's brain located, what does its mouth look like, and how does it actually shoot ink?

 

In this activity, you’ll get up close and personal with one of the ocean’s most fascinating animals as we dissect a ten-armed octopus together and examine its anatomy, way of life, and fascinating adaptations to life in the ocean.

 

The instructor will guide you through the entire dissection, but you’ll get to handle the octopuses yourselves. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at the gills, ink sac, eyes, and beak, among other things, and learn more about how octopuses live, hunt, and protect themselves in the ocean.

 

Book an octopus dissection for your company outing, family event, or a unique day out with friends—you’re sure to have an experience that will stick in your memory!
