DISCOVER THE MAGIC BENEATH THE SURFACE
Please note that the Tunnel aquarium is closed untill April 2026!
Welcome to explore the exciting world of the sea with us at Havets Hus in Lysekil – right in the heart of Bohuslän! In our aquarium, you’ll meet sharks, crabs, octopuses, rays, and our colorful cuckoo wrasse. We offer guided tours, fish feedings, fun activities for the whole family, and experts on site who share everything from the ocean’s mysteries to the secrets of a thriving ecosystem.
What are you waiting for?
We want to teach you about life in the Skagerrak, because we work daily with marine life and breeding programs for the reintroduction of endangered species – and we’d love to tell you all about it. We’re open all year round!
Please note: For safety reasons, we kindly ask you to leave strollers at home, in your car, or on your boat. Due to evacuation regulations, we cannot allow too many strollers indoors and may deny entry with a stroller.
The Restaurant
Welcome to our restaurant – a place where flavors meet the sea breeze! You can sit outside on our sunny terrace or indoors with panoramic views of Gullmarn. No matter the weather, you’ll enjoy a dining experience with salty air and the gentle rhythm of the waves.
There’s something for everyone. We serve everything from our popular seafood soup, packed with ocean delicacies, to the classic shrimp sandwich or a cozy Swedish fika. Try our Havets Hus-style burger – a favorite among both kids and adults! We also offer tasty vegetarian options, including our vegan tofu dish with delicious local ingredients like seaweed. And of course, pancakes are on the kids’ menu.
We Want to Make the World Better
Our mission is to spread knowledge about marine life and the environment, with a special focus on the Skagerrak. We aim to raise awareness about the importance of the ocean and promote sustainable development. Through our work, we strive to always act ethically and responsibly to contribute to a positive and long-term improvement of the marine environment.

60% of the water volume in our aquarium contains species we breed and release into the wild. Other species also live in these aquariums. This work is funded by your entrance fee, as well as support from various companies and organizations.
Cash-Free Facility
Havets Hus is a cash-free facility. At our entrance and shop, you can pay by card or Swish. This ensures better security and fast, easy transactions.
Accessibility
There are some ramps inside the aquarium. For wheelchair users, we recommend using the marked exit by the flatfish aquarium to return to the entrance, as the ramp through the tunnel is steep.
