SEA LIFE Konstanz

We recently visited Sea Life Konstanz and overall it was okay but we found it quite expensive for what it offers. The aquarium isn’t very big and you can go through it fairly quickly. There aren’t many interactive activities which was a bit disappointing especially for kids who enjoy hands-on experiences. The exhibits are nice and well-maintained and it’s still a pleasant visit if you’re already in Konstanz. However, considering the ticket price, we expected a larger space or more engaging attractions. It’s not a bad experience, just a bit overpriced for the size and level of interactivity.

Really amazing place. We were touring around the city then came across this gem. Normally it's written reservations are required but you can buy the tickets there. Try to go on days which are not busy. You can check on Google maps about the amount of people there. Normal price is around 23 euro per person but it's worth it. Lots of interesting fishes but the highlights are the penguins. Very important is that when there are penguins feeding, leaving everything and rush to the penguins aquarium to see it. There are educational informations. You can circle back to where you left. Do not exit the premises.

Good experience but the fish look like they're judging you all the time! Jokes aside though, it was a fun visit, albeit we would've appreciated a little more to see for what it cost.

Nice place to visit with the kids. It's not the biggest aquarium but nicely put together and interesting. The tanks were nicely decorated as well. Parking was a bit crowded but not very expensive.

Amazing attraction! There was a really nice guy working with the shark eggs display, he was very kind (and handsome :v)

Buy tickets before. Too crowded, even though they work with time slots. Very good for small kids, not for adults. The app with animal recognition doesn't work well. It's announced as in German and in English, but only German is available in the app. Bistro is good! All text is only in German!

Pretty cute aquarium mostly designed for children, with a sad 46 year old Carp and sea turtle. The natural history exhibits are informative. And you can walk across the Swiss border for a snack along the shore.

Went here with my parents to show them something nice in Konstanz ,didn't knew the existence of a aquarium so close to where I live and I had to visit it ,went there in a Saturday it was incredibly crowded ! BUT the content inside is amazing ,so many pretty fishes some big and ugly ,the ocean recreations in small tanks is incredible ,it's like watching a small part of the deep ocean just in front of you ! It's very large ,it even has a kinda glass tunnel where the fish ,sharks and even sea turtles can be seen crossing above you ! So cool! The entry for wheelchairs is easy there is a large ramp but some parts inside have stairs might be difficult to move ,dunno if there is someone who helps or alternative rout at the end there is a gift shop with plushies and other stuff also is where the nature museum is just go up the stairs and you will be at that museum ( yes in the gift shop)

We were in the area and decided to give this aquarium a try. They do not have any literature tour guides in English, but the exhibit signage did have both German and English descriptions. The exhibits were by geographical areas and they tried to include some of the more interesting species. They used a scary pirate theme and had some exhibits for the kids. Then you come to a tunnel with the fish above you. What a sight - definitely the highlight of the trip. The end exhibit was the penguin enclosure and I think for most of the kids was the highlight. This exhibit area was crowded as all the kids were having fun watching these very adorable animals. We breezed through this aquarium within an hour, would be a bit longer with kids.

If I were playing UNO I would throw down a SKIP card. We picked this location because according to the maps it seemed like the biggest. Also, it was right on Lake Constance so we made a whole day of it. Our plan was to eat lunch on the lake the spend a couple hours here. Seems easy enough! First, it took an hour and a half to find a parking space. Sealife has its own pay to park lot but it was completely full. I'd guesstimate 50 spaces. It's not regulated so anyone can park there. The mall has a garage across the street but that was full too. We drove and drove and circled and circled. We ended up parking about 1km away in the city center. Since it took so long to find parking, we were too hungry to find a place and we ended up eating at the Sealife Cafe. Nothing special but not horrible. It's located downstairs around back or if you go through first, it's at the end after the gift shop. After eating, we went through. Wow...really? That's it?! It took us longer to eat our fast food lunch than walk through. We had three kids who wanted to touch and look at everything and it still didn't take very long. It's not stroller friendly, not that they allow strollers inside anyway. There is stroller parking right outside the door. We had a backpack carrier for our 14 month old. He wasn't in it for long so he was fine. There was a short film that was interesting to watch. It was in German so the kids lost interest. The tank labels were in German and in English. The gift shop was pricey as with any attraction gift shop. Many people spoke English which was such a bonus. Of course we had to get a few items we will never use again because that's what you do on vacation! We went to Legoland the next day which has a Sealife exhibit. It's included in the price of admission and pretty much the same as this one. Go there instead. Bottom line: go to Konstanz to see Konstanz in all its beauty. Save your money and see Sealife another time.

One star is to much. Parking is bad to get there with the car was bad,too. Traffic jams all over the place and the car park is not really one. This sealife is the smallest one I have seen up to now.

This place is SMALL. I don't even understand why the building looks large on the outside but the inside is so darn small? It is expensive too. The price value of a single day ticket should be 8 euro max. I bought an annual membership for 40 euro solely because I can kill an hour here every now and again. However, that is it, only an hour. A solid 20 minutes of that hour will be spent in the kids ball pit play area. We went the other day only to find that the turtle closet was closed. So, now it is even crappier. The place has about 10 species of fish: stingrays, two sharks, dog sharks, goldfish, clown fish (no Dorys), two catfish, and a couple of other fish that can be found in local lakes and are so ugly you'd never even consider eating them, and 10 penguins. The dog sharks are my favorite. They literally beg by swimming vertical with their heads out of the water trying to get a treat. I feel sad for the Penguins. Their space is small, as are all of the fish tanks, I just assume penguins know it isn't right. Fish are just all "wtf?" Large gift shop. On the top floor there is some random stuffed animal room.
