Expansion and New Exhibitions

We are in the process of expanding Polaria. The aquarium will be expanded, and a brand new extension will be built at the back of the building. This is where our seals will move, into a brand new seal pool that holds 1 million liters of water - three times as much as the current seal pool. Here they will have plenty of natural daylight through large windows to both east and west, and they can even swim out onto their own balcony where they can lie down and enjoy the weather.

The vet
