Tips: Think about your animal welfare values before you go. Tickets are cheaper online. Lockers are 10 DKK (new 10 each time you open) and you can buy a ten in the cafeteria next by. Localize other toilets than the one's next to the entrance, they can be crowded when others are not. Bring extra clothes cause kids get wet. It's quite a long walk from Kastrup and then you also walk a lot on the hard floors of the aquarium so put comfortable shoes on and prepare to carry the smallest ones. + Many animals to watch and they are all easy to see. Shark tank is huge, you see sharks and rays real close, great experience. You can touch a lot of animals which is fun for you (but not for them). Picnic area is very good for families. (Next level would be if they added a zink for kids to wash their hands, some equipment to clean the table after yourself, microwaves and recycling bins.) Playground outside is great! - Could not find anywhere to refill water bottles. Doors were super heavy! Saw children ~3-4 yo hit their heads on the doors to the restrooms, and everyone struggled to get in and out to the terrace. Should be more stools available for kids to get att better view, you have to lift them up a lot. Unevenly crowded. It was difficult to foresee where the crowd would appear and something is off with the flow that makes people go back and forth, markings on the floor are too vague. Some animals seemed to be crowded in small areas. It's difficult to imagine a wild animal trapped in some of these very limited spaces. Are they not bored? Depressed?? What to they do all day and all night? Some fish were wounded. Its not every tank that makes you wonder how bad these animals are suffering for our entertainment, but some really do.

Den Blå Planet/The Blue Planet/Aquarium of Denmark is such a delight to visit! This was my second time coming here as an adult without children, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending hours walking around, captivated by all the cool and beautiful fish. Compared to many other aquariums I’ve visited around the world, the tanks here are quite large and well-designed, with plenty of plants, corals, and stones that naturally occur in the habitats the fish come from. A few of the tanks did seem a bit small, but I trust that the animal keepers know what they’re doing and take excellent care of the animals. For example, I thought there were too many piranhas in their tank at first, but I learned that in the wild, there would be far more piranhas in the same amount of space. We had the chance to watch the feeding of the piranhas and also the feeding of the small stingrays, which you can touch. Both experiences were super interesting and fun! One of my favorite parts was the rainforest area. They’ve created an actual rainforest environment with lots of flora and fauna from the rainforest, making it such a fun place to explore. I loved walking around and spotting the poisonous frogs, birds, and other fascinating animals. It brought back memories of my trip to Costa Rica, as it felt very authentic. I would definitely recommend Den Blå Planet to both adults and children. It’s a fantastic experience for anyone who loves marine life or unique animal exhibits. A quick tip: remember to buy your tickets online in advance—it’s cheaper and saves you time when you arrive!

This aquarium is a wonderful place to visit with children — it’s designed to be educational and family-friendly. Guided tours are available about once an hour and offered in both Danish and English, which makes it very accessible for international visitors. The sea otters are a major highlight — adorable and loved by both kids and adults. The tropical rainforest section is also a great feature, with a rich variety of plants and animals. It feels like a small zoo, and offers a fun way to explore different ecosystems up close. The exhibits are generally well-organized, though some areas have slightly confusing layouts. One small letdown was the piranha feeding show — it was quite short and not as engaging as expected. Compared to the sea otter feeding session, it felt a bit lacking. Hopefully, other feeding events in the future can match the sea otter area in terms of presentation and depth. As for tickets, we tried to purchase them online at the discounted price, but the payment process kept failing. In the end, we had to buy tickets on-site at a higher price. Despite a few minor issues, the overall experience was enjoyable and definitely worth visiting.

On 14/2 I visited Den Blå Planet for a visit to see the aquarium here. The time I went there was around 7 at night, which was quite crowded than what i expected as there´s a lot of family visited there together. The entrance ticket I bought was discounted during the aquarium's holiday program so it was only 99 dkk instead of more than 200dkk. The aquarium looks really nice and modern, there are 3 sections, river fish aquarium, medium fish aquarium with Amazon habitats and ocean animals aquarium. Unfortunately there are many interactions to play with the fish but since I went late they all went to sleep. Out of all, I like the Amazon habitats as most because inside it feels really tropical just like rainforest, many big fish and also a very cute sloth inside. Overall it was a very fun and cozy time spend at Denmark National Aquarium, it looks really modern and beautiful inside as I didn´t expect it´s gonna be that big, the ticket was really fair but I also felt like it doesn´t have that much of things to see. But the fish and animals in there looks very chill and happy, it worth the try to come and see them especially with friends and family!
