For children

A Place for Both Play and Curiosity

The Fisheries and Maritime Museum offers hours of fun and educational experiences for children and families with children—and admission is even free for children.

Get up close to the seals, explore the aquariums, or enjoy yourselves at the Open Air Exhibition. Here, you can, among other things, climb aboard a real fishing boat, visit the old harbor, and play in the large playground.

If you're brave enough, you can also dive into the Mysteries of the Sea, where you might encounter everything from mermaids to sea monsters.

On weekends and during school breaks, there are also activities for children—ranging from animal feedings and Krealab to a variety of holiday activities. Read more about the activities below.
