Touch pool

Treat your children to the unique experience of petting the stingrays in Nausicaa's touch pool!

Move your hand even slightly and the rays will come over and rub against it like a cat.

These creatures also lift their head out of the water, inviting you to join them, touch them, and experience the ocean from a different perspective... 

A close encounter with the sea

In the touch pool at Nausicaa, pollack, cod, dogfish, turbot and stingrays swim at eye level for both adults and children. The open concept of our aquarium allows the marine animals to move freely. 

The touch pool is designed for direct contact between humans and animals and guarantees a new experience for every visitor. Rays in search of cuddles lift their heads and bodies out of the water looking for attention from visitors. 

Stingrays are very sensitive to the slightest movement of water and respond to your outstretched hand, letting you stroke them like pets. The touch pool is a surprising and endearing experience that offers a new outlook on the ocean and marine life.
