Experience the inside of the Aquarium. Experience what happens behind the aquariums and walk through the keepers' walkway on your own, this is normally a place only zookeepers have access to. You get to see the nine aquariums in the Rotunda from the back. Unfortunately, this area is not universally designed. Best suited for school-age children and older.

Which animal will get food today? It varies from time to time. Today it might be a gecko, one of our snakes, or the monitor lizards that will be fed. Show up to get the answer.

Watch when the penguins get fed. Learn something new about penguins, and get to know the great gentoo penguin that live here. What do they eat, how do we manage to tell the difference between them and why do they have the beautiful plumage?

In an almost entirely true documentary soap opera-like short film, the penguins at the Aquarium have been given voices. It is the penguins themselves, with the help of a creative voice, who narrate and describe. Get ready to meet Herman Piele, Ulrikke, Bekki, Ninjago and the other penguins. Here it will be educational fun, with a new side of life in the pond. This is a treat for all penguin fans.

Norwegian voice and subtitles.

Watch a training session with our California sea lions Amy and Keela. Learn more about these great animals and the cooperation between sea lions and trainers.

Gizmo and Bella are European otters. A semi-aquatic predatory mammal in the marten family. This means that they live partly in water and partly on land. In Norway, European otters are found all over the country, but most in the coastal areas from central Norway and northwards. They also do well in water and waterways, and occasionally you can even meet them high up in the mountains.

The Little Prince, along with his funny friend Mr. Fox, jumps from one fantasy universe to another in search of his beloved rose. Fly with these fearless heroes as they avoid the metal claws of a ferocious dragon, awaken the friendly stone giant, and visit the planet of music. Get ready for an exciting journey beyond your imagination!
