Walking with dry feet on the bottom of the Rhine, on the bed of Lake Constance or even on the bottom of the sea to admire a fascinating underwater world. You can do all this and more at SEA LIFE at Lake Constance harbour. 

Inside, over a 3,000 square-metre exhibition area, around 3,000 freshwater and saltwater fish play in 40 glass aquariums of approximately 600,000 litres in volume.

The visitors are taken on an underwater tour through the Rhine and Lake Constance right to the depths of the North Sea. Brook chars, trout and crayfish swim in the source brooks of the Rhine in the Alps of the Grisons. On to Lake Constance where you will find whitefish, carps or perch. Then, in the Rhine, there are pikes and pike-perch to admire. 

Then, you will take a trip back in time to see a panorama of the Rotterdam Harbour with bridges and reservoirs, just as it looked in the Middle Ages and finally to the bottom of the North Sea and a reconstructed wreck of a wooden galleon with sharks, rays, sea eels and other sea creatures swimming around it.

 

The SEA LIFE building houses the Lake Constance Museum of Natural Science. Furthermore, SEA LIFE has its own restaurant with an open terrace that provides a wonderful view of the bay of Lake Constance.
