Berlin Sea Life closes after 20 years: Last fish swim away!

After over two decades, the Sea Life Aquarium in Berlin finally closes its doors on December 13, 2024. Spectators can only enjoy their last visits to 3 p.m. until today. The decision came due to financial difficulties, which were mainly due to the decline in visitor numbers, which were triggered by the bursting of the adjacent giant aquadom in December 2022. According to B.Z. , many had confused the two attractions and thought that the Sea Life was also affected or closed.

The fate of the animals

A total of around 3,000 animals from 124 species, including sharks and rays, were recently housed in the Sea Life. These fish now have to find a new home. According to t-online will move part of the animals to the Aquarium Berlin. The closure also affects the miniature world Little Big City, another part of the Merlin Entertainments Group, which has its last opening at the same time. For those affected 37 employees, further employment in other business areas is sought if this is possible.
