About

During the war, this bleak building served as an air defense tower, but now it houses the "House of the Sea" museum. Today, inside the tower, there is a large number of aquariums and terrariums, as well as a real tropical corner! Among the museum's inhabitants, you can meet turtles, jellyfish, stingrays, sharks, and also the more harmless catfish and pikes! In addition to the well-known, there are leaf-fish and starfish living here. In the terrarium, you can see not only huge snakes and crocodiles but also lizards and spiders. Moreover, wild plants grow on the museum's territory, little animals crawl, and beautiful birds fly.

In the "House of the Sea," a tropical climate is artificially recreated. Unfamiliar aromas and humid air will give you the feeling of real tropics. The culmination of the tropical marine journey could be an observation deck with cityscapes!
