The Blue Planet
Kastrup, Denmark
It's probably going to be a little hard to tell from the front, but The Blue Planet — or Den Blå Planet, the new National Aquarium — is actually shaped like a giant whirlpool. That's just one of the many wonders you'll find inside this brand-new building. It's home to over 20,000 fish and ocean animals, holds over 7 million liters of water, and offers over 50 aquariums and displays. Amazingly, it's also home to a mini-rainforest, as well an ocean tunnel where you can walk amongst the sharks. Well worth the trip is you're in Copenhagen with a few hours to kill. [via]
