Berlin lost: The Sea Life closes - last chance for visitors!

An era ends in Berlin: The popular Sea Life closed its doors last Friday. Numerous guests used the last chance to visit the aquarium to say goodbye to the around 3,000 animals living in the Sea Life. Tragically, this sad end only occurred a year and a half after the reopening. The closure was decided due to financial difficulties, which was strongly tightened by the decline in visitors after the outbreak of neighboring Aquadoms, the largest cylindrical aquarium in the world. The accident hit many hard because the Aquadom was the main attraction for tourists and locals.

The closure of the Sea Life and the adjacent miniature world project "Little Big City" has abruptly silently silently silently. As t-online.de controls the closure for a crisis that was reinforced by the bursting of the Aquadoms. Many guests announced that they had confused the attraction with the Aquadom and that after the incident, they no longer came to the Sea Life. This meant that Berlin, known for its numerous tourist attractions, had to accept a further loss.

The stroke of fate for the Aqua experience is symptomatic of the challenges with which the city is fighting. There are voices that demand that the capital should develop concepts to maintain their attractiveness. The closures suggest a critical reflection on the future of tourism in Berlin. Solutions are necessary to prevent another downward trend, and also to regain the identity of Berlin as a lively and innovative city. The search for accommodation for the remaining aquarium dwellers and the exhibits from Little Big City are now in the foreground, which means another painful loss for the city.
