Polaria is an Arctic experience center located in Tromsø, Norway. It is a must-visit destination for the whole family, offering a unique opportunity to see walruses up close, with only one other place in Europe providing such an encounter. At Polaria, you can explore and understand the intricate relationship between marine and terrestrial life through immersive exhibits and interactive displays.

Operating daily from 10:00 to 17:00, Polaria is currently undergoing renovations to introduce exciting new exhibitions. While some areas may be temporarily closed during this period, you can still enjoy parts of the exhibits, with the first new additions expected to be unveiled this summer. Film screenings, feeding sessions, and training sessions will continue as usual.

Polaria's expansion plans include a revamped foyer with interactive exhibits developed alongside researchers from the Fram Centre, an expanded aquarium, and a brand new extension. The seals will move to a state-of-the-art pool with 1 million liters of water, three times the capacity of the current pool, providing them with ample natural light and even a balcony to relax and enjoy the weather. Plan your visit to Polaria, where you can embark on an arctic knowledge experience like no other.
