Everyone who wants to experience an aquarium of a different kind with extraordinary design and over 17.000 marine species, should visit The Blue Planet in Denmark. Besides being home to Europe's largest school of piranhas, The Blue Planet hosts hammerhead sharks and sea lions which are some of the main attractions that visitors of all age are excited to see.
The Blue Planet was opened in 2013, as a replacement of the old Denmark's national aquarium that started operating in 1939 which was the year when World War II started. Unfortunately, that was not the best time to start an aquarium business due to the uncertainty of war. They could no longer import fish and other marine life, and in 1944 the aquarium was left with no electricity, so the staff needed to paddle pump oxygen so the existing species in the tanks can breathe. However, the old aquarium had bad ventilation, and the hallways were almost impossible to walk through without fainting.
After many attempts to repair this problem, the old aquarium was finally closed in 2012.
One year later, Denmark got a brand new, futuristic aquarium that we all know now as The Blue Planet.
The new design of this spectacular marine world includes blue lights in the hallways that make visitors feel like being underwater while observing the extraordinary species that swim above and on the sides. Soothing, ambient music also accompanies people through this spectacular space of infinite blue color that promotes relaxation and tranquil vibes.
Visiting The Blue Planet is a unique experience suitable for the entire family. It's especially popular among folks who don't want to soak themselves and go scuba diving. The Blue Planet is a perfect way of urban marine life observation that will leave you breathless and make you come back again.
