ABOUT POLARIA

An Arctic experience center that connects research, nature and people.

Welcome to Polaria , the world's northernmost aquarium and Northern Norway's largest indoor attraction. Polaria is located in the heart of Tromsø, just a stone's throw from the city center with a view of the sea. With us you get more than just an experience, you get a living journey through the Arctic.

We are the only place in the world where you can meet bearded seals up close. In addition, we have an Arctic aquarium filled with species from the region, impressive panoramic films, and interactive exhibits that engage and inspire both young and old.

Polaria is a non-profit foundation with an important purpose: to disseminate knowledge about the Arctic, the marine environment and climate change. We collaborate with the Fram Center, one of Norway's leading research environments, and make research accessible to the public through unique exhibitions.

Whether you are a curious tourist, local adventurer or a knowledge-hungry guest – at Polaria you get a real, engaging and sustainable Arctic experience.
