Balaton Aquarium

This eco-tourism visitor centre, named Bodorka (the Hungarian name for the indigenous fish species, the common roach), opened its gates on the Tagore sétány of Balatonfüred in mid-July 2014. Open all year round, the latest Balaton attraction is a complex conservationist exhibition of the natural history of the Balaton Uplands and the flora and fauna of Lake Balaton. With an area of 460 m2, the visitor centre features 17 freshwater aquariums, showcasing every fish species living in the lake, from the few-centimetres small common bleak to the largest fish species of Central Europe, the catfish, which can reach a weight of several hundred kilograms.
