Plan you visit

At the museum's main entrance, you'll find everything you need:

• 100 parking spaces for cars
• 2 handicapped parking spaces
• 14 charging stations for electric cars from E-on and Spirii
• 3 bus parking spots

If the parking lot is full, there are fortunately more good parking options on the grassy areas along the road in front of the museum.

Buses

You can also choose to take city bus no. 1A and 2A from the train station or no. 13 from the Fanø ferry. The buses stop right outside the museum.

It's easy to visit the museum, even if you have mobility issues or use a wheelchair. Where we have stairs, there are also elevators, wheelchair lifts, or ramps. In the outdoor exhibition, pathways have been created. However, access to all buildings may be challenging.

A significant part of the museum's exhibits consists of texts, images, and objects that should not be touched, but there are also opportunities for those with visual impairments. For example, you can smell and touch buildings, ships, and tools in our outdoor exhibition. Inside, you can touch the fish in our touch pool. In some areas of the exhibition, you can also listen to stories, just as you can hear our guides when they feed and train our seals twice a day.

You are welcome to bring your guide or service dog with you when you visit the museum, as long as they are on a leash.

At the information desk, we sell tickets to the museum, and you can also purchase an annual pass and gift cards for the museum.
We are ready to assist you, whether you need to know the next bus departure, require help finding a particular book, or have questions about our exhibitions. You'll also find our large information screen at the desk, where you can always check today's schedule.

Table reservation at Café MS Smag

We have plenty of space in the cafe, and it is usually not necessary to make a reservation on weekdays. However, if you are a group of over ten people, it is important to reserve a table in advance. It is not possible to reserve tables during school holidays.

Dogs of all sizes (and other pets) are welcome at the museum, but only in our outdoor exhibition area and as long as they are on a leash. In our outdoor exhibition, you can also find our designated dog parking area with the possibility to tether your dog close to water bowls. While your dog relaxes in the shade, you can explore the museum's indoor areas and seal exhibit with a clear conscience.

Please remember that in the outdoor exhibition, you can also find bags to clean up after your dog. We appreciate your cooperation!

Guide dogs and service dogs are allowed everywhere in the museum, as long as they are on a leash.

In our museum shop, you'll find everything your adult or child's heart could desire. We have the softest seal teddy bears, the coolest sailor t-shirts, as well as fun and beautiful souvenirs, snacks, and ice cream. Everything is carefully selected for quality, sustainability, and the environment, with a particular focus on the sea.

The shop also sells selected items online, primarily books. Visit our webshop here.

The museum accepts both Danish Kroner, Euros (banknotes), as well as Dankort, Visa, Eurocard, MasterCard, American Express, Diners, JCB, Maestro, and MobilePay.

Educational programs

We love hosting institutions, schools, and educational institutions at the museum.

So, keep an eye on our website and contact our event coordinator, Julia, if you have any questions.
