Sharks and Phenomena in the Thuringian Forest

At a seaside, in the South Seas or the Atlantic Ocean, it is easy to encounter a shark. In the Thuringian Forest you can look deep into the eyes of the sharks, but don't risk your life. Because you and the sharks are still separated by a wall of glass.

Visit the fascinating sea dwellers in the Meeresaquarium Zella-Mehlis. Guests can also take part in shark feedings on a regular basis. Of course, there are plenty more marine adventures to experience. Marvel at the animals of the underwater world or take a look in the crocodile house.

Get to the bottom of physics with the whole family at the Explorata hands-on world in Zella-Mehlis. Can a drum beat extinguish a candle, how does a storm get into a water bottle or an attempt to direct light with your hand.

Sometimes an optical illusion, sometimes a law of nature, there is all this to discover in the Explorata. A few entertaining hours are guaranteed.
