OUR EXPERIENCES

Good Travel Experience: Discover Croatia’s freshwater ecosystems through our 25 carefully designed tanks featuring rare and endemic species. Visitors learn how rivers and lakes shape biodiversity, landscape, and cultural identity in the Karlovac region via interactive exhibits and immersive displays on geological history and our four rivers—Kupa, Kora na, Mrežnica, and Dobra. Enjoy virtual tours, audio guides for smartphones, expert-led guided tours, and family activities like coloring books. Our river-inspired architecture with green rooftops creates a calm space for families, students, and travelers.

ABOUT US

We are Croatia’s only fully freshwater aquarium, funded by the EU to raise awareness of exceptional biological diversity and educate on sustainable use of Croatia’s natural riches for tourism. Located in Karlovac, the city of four rivers, we present the wealth of Croatian rivers, lakes, ponds, and marshes in one place.
This Impact Partner was shared by the Good Travel Institute as one of their Good Travel Experiences. Each Good Travel Experience is evaluated through a clear and recognised framework, ensuring measurable social, cultural, environmental, and economic benefits for local communities. 

OUR IMPACT

We promote ecological thinking to help visitors better protect nature they encounter. As a member of the Global Network of Water Museums, we highlight freshwater conservation and rivers’ vital role in daily lives, fostering sustainable tourism and biodiversity awareness.
