VIA Aquarium is chock-full of weird and wonderful marine creatures including fish, reptiles and much more. The aquarium is located within the VIA/Port Rotterdam Mall where it showcases a great collection of aquatic animals which are spread over 45 colorful underwater exhibits. There are underwater tunnels from which you can experience being surrounded by schools of fish and even a shark or two. One of the highlights of the aquarium is the petting tank where you can get up close to stingrays and even feed them yourself. Behind The Scenes Tours are available and you can sign up to be an Aquarist-For-A Day.
