Fehmarn Marine Center or Sea Life in Timmendorfer Strand, which should you visit?

We cannot give you a definitive recommendation because it depends greatly on what you are looking for.

The marine center is easy and quick to reach and slightly cheaper than Sea Life in Timmendorfer Strand. It is therefore particularly suitable for spontaneous visits if you don't want to travel far or are looking for something to do in between other activities.

The Sea Life in Timmendorf offers a larger selection of animals from a wide variety of regions. In addition to fish, crustaceans, and sharks, you can also see otters, snakes, and turtles. There is also a larger range of additional services, including guided tours.

A family ticket is also available, which includes a visit to the magnificent Baltic Sea Thermal Baths in Scharbeutz. So if you don't mind the longer journey and the higher admission price, a day trip to Sealife in Timmendorfer Strand can be well worth it.
