Polaria is the world's most northerly aquarium. It is located in Tromsų, in northern Norway. Rather than a mainly scientific aquarium such as the one in Bergen in the Norwegian midlands, Polaria, which opened in May 1998, is designed to be an educational experience, with particular emphasis on displays for children. It has an Arctic aquarium, knowledge-based exhibits, a panoramic cinema, and a gift and souvenir shop.
