The tropicarium is Sweden largest aquarium (and zoo). On the other streetside you finde Kolmårdens Djurpark, Swedens National Zoo with animals like the Gorilla and Dolphin.
The Tropicarium was build in 1972 and was sold to todays owners in 1990. In 1972 Stig Gustavson bought the old grocerystore in front of the Djurpark and turned it in to Kolmårdens Terrarium, wich showed especially snakes and birds. 1990 then Kalle and Stefan Farkasdi bought that Trerrarium and renamet it in to tropicarium, where you go frome the desert to the deep ocean, with a 132.000 gallon sharktank.

DE: Dies ist Schwedens grösstes Aquarium und gegenüber findet man den Nationalen Zoo. Insbesondere de Terrarienabteiung ist eine von den besten in Europa, aber auch die Aquarienabteilung ist super, u.a. mit einem 500.000L grossem Aquarium für Haie
DK: For mange er Kolmården lige med Djurpark (Zoo), men lige overfor ligger Sveriges største akvarium. Foruden et stort akvarium for hajer, er der en god samling af slanger, bare for at nævne nogle dyr.
