A view of the Otter Lake from inside the main building of the AQUA Freshwater Aquarium in Silkeborg, Denmark.
One of the biggest attractions in AQUA are the five articifial lakes located next to the main building. Visitors can observe the life in the lakes from inside the building and the five different lakes represent five different freshwater biomes: The Polluted Lake, The Clean Lake, The River, The Bog and The Otter Lake. A brilliant concept really inviting vistors to observe the life ind the Danish lakes and rivers.
This exhibit holds European otters and gives really good underwater viewing for the visitors. The otters are also viewable outside.

This exhibit looks very big and what a great way of promoting local flora and fauna. :)
 
AQUA is indeed very good at that! Part of their philosophy is that conservation starts at home. They are also good at creating interactive educational displays that encourage children to learn. We have a saying in Denmark, which probably also exists worldwide, that I will give a rough translation of here:

"If everyone swept before their own door the street would soon be clean".

That pretty well sums it up. Try reading the introduction I have written here.
