One of the finest creations – AquaDom in Berlin, Germany is the largest acrylic glass cylinder in the world. Situated in the Radisson SAS Hotel, the 25-meter high cylindrical formation stands on a 9 meters elevated platform, with over 11 meters of diameter. This marvelous aquarium contains 900,000 liters of seawater and hosts 2600 fishes of 56 species.
Constructed by the U.S Company, Reynolds Polymer Technology, the AquaDom was built at a cost of 12.8 million Euros. Eventually, it was opened to the public in December 2003. The aquarium is a perfect blend of huge amount sandblasted glass, which lends a lucid touch to the lobby. Visitors can enjoy their trip through the aquarium in a glass-enclosed elevator that takes them to the sightseeing point. There are two full-time divers for, maintenance of the fish tank as well as feeding the fishes. Some of interior suits and rooms are especially designed to offer a privileged oceanic panorama of AquaDom.

Cool, although no doubt you pay your share of its cost if you stay at the hotel. I’ll have to check it out if ever I get to Berlin.

That is a cool aquarium. I have been to many in the United States that were impressive but I have never seen one like that. I look forward to seeing taht when we visit Germany. Thanks for the great picture, it makes me want to up the date of our trip planned in three years.

That is an amazing sight to see. I might be going to Germany over the summer to visit my family and I will definitely go check this out. That would be cool to swim in there too.

Hi there,
I’ve been in the hotel and spent a solid hour sipping a coffee and admiring the species that are swimming in circles.
Highly recommended! The best part – it’s free.
If you happen to shell out cca 13 Euros to visit adjacent SeaLife aquarium, you will be able to enjoy an even better view from the elevator which goes _inside_ the cylinder!
Cheers!

Are you kidding me ? I wonder how they give food to the fish … or how they change water …

Man that is impressive. Any idea how thick the acrylic is as the water pressure near the bottom must be massive! The photo of showing the lift is pretty good too.
