Vätternakvariet i Motala

Vätternakvariet i Motala is a charming freshwater aquarium located in Motala, Sweden, celebrating the rich aquatic life of Lake Vättern, one of Swedens largest lakes. The facility features exhibits of native Swedish freshwater fish alongside a tropical section housing fish from South America, Africa, and Asia in tanks ranging from 500 to 2,000 liters. A large 10,000-liter open aquarium recreates the environment of the Motala River, and touch pools allow younger visitors to interact with aquatic creatures. Run on entrance fees and community goodwill, this modest but informative attraction is considered one of the most visited lake aquariums in Östergötland, offering an engaging and educational outing for families and nature lovers.
