Polaria
Polaria brings Arctic marine life, seals and climate research into one compact indoor visit near Tromsø's southern waterfront. It is especially useful when weather limits outdoor sightseeing.
The seal habitat gives you a close look at species from northern waters, while aquarium tanks and interactive displays explain the sea around Tromsø. The ice-floe-shaped building is part of the experience. Allow enough time for the films and exhibitions rather than treating it as a quick seal stop.
