TRUE-BLUE TO THE SEA

Explore the history of navigation at a speed of three knots!
Embarked on an intriguing journey through the centuries of maritime history, you will listen to adventure stories of first sailors and uncover methods used throughout history to aid navigation; discover Klaipeda in the epoch of sailing ships - the time, when the best ships still were wooden ships, but the men were iron men. 
You will find out how to get on well with the sea and how to become true-blue to it. Moreover, you yourself will be a captain of this voyage and you will decide the number of knots to unwind. 

GET TO KNOW THE MYSTERIUOS WATER WORLD 

You might have heart that water makes up more than 70% of the Earth's surface. Still, there is so much about the oceans that we do not know. CURIOUS? Let‘s get down to the world beneath the waves! 
We will discover the ocean from the very primal its inhabitants to the most predatory ones. We will talk to Australian trumpet and play to the sea. The range of water colours will take us from a rivulet to deep seas, where we will find prehistoric fish as old as dinosaurs.  Sounds unbelievable? Come and experience yourself!

CARE FOR LIFE

Behind the scenes in Aquarium
If you have ever wondered about peeking at the back stage of the museum or wanted to ask a museum specialist a collections-based question, this tour is right for you!
Behind the scenes, you will have a closer look to a museologist’s daily routines. Should it be feeding the inhabitants of aquaria, maintaining life-supporting system of the tanks or bringing up new fish in the quarantine lab, Safety, Responsibility, and Care for Life are the principal rules.
Come, gain hands-on experience and take up challenge of becoming an aquarium curator!

Refund Request

Lithuanian Sea Museum, which consists of Aquarium, Navigation History Exhibitions, Dolphinarium, Baltic Sea Animal Rehabilitation Centre, and Dolphin Assisted Therapy Centre, is situated on the Curonian Spit. To get to us, take a passenger ferry from Old Ferry Terminal or vehicle ferry from New Ferry Terminal (www.keltas.lt), or a private boat to cross the Curonian Lagoon.

We strongly recommend arriving to Smiltynė by passenger ferry from Old Ferry Terminal (Danės Str. 1, Klaipėda) during summer season peak and especially on rainy days. Private boats going from the Dane River to the Dolphinarium is an option, as well.
The distance from the passenger ferry to the Lithuanian Sea Museum is 1,8 kilometre (20 minutes on foot). You can also take a shuttle train (service is charged), which goes according to the ferry timetable. 

To arrive to the Museum by car, take a New Ferry Terminal (Nemuno Str. 8, Klaipėda). The distance from the vehicle ferry to the Museum is 8 kilometres. Note, that New Ferry Terminal is often jammed during summer season peak and all the parking lots are overcrowded in Smiltynė.

Please, be aware, that tickets to a dolphin performance are not refunded or exchanged, so we strongly recommend to estimate the time of arrival. We advise to skip queues and buy tickets online www.ljm.lt having arrived at the Museum. Visitors coming from Neringa resorts should consider the warning, as well. 

Parking around the Lithuanian Sea Museum and all the Smiltynė is charged during 1 May – 15 September. Parking rates
