Vivarium & MACE exhibit 2025

For years, Vivarium has been the world’s largest consumer event dedicated to the aquarium and terrarium hobby. With nearly 200 exhibitors from across the globe, visitors can explore not only the latest products but also some of the most fascinating animals and plants that make this hobby so captivating. The best part? Most of it is available for purchase! All of this takes place on an impressive 13,000m² of exhibition space.

To inspire visitors and spark creativity, both days feature a packed schedule of activities. From competitions and presentations to workshops, quizzes, and numerous display aquariums, there’s something for everyone. Not to mention the spectacular Mega Vivarium Project, a centerpiece attraction unveiled each year.

In recent years, the addition of MACE has brought the marine section of the event to life. Here, exhibitors from around the world showcase an extraordinary variety of corals, including rare pieces that are typically unavailable to consumers. Visitors can also attend saltwater presentations and learn expert techniques from seasoned professionals.

Lastly, Vivarium ensures that the future of this hobby is well-represented. Young visitors (free entry for children up to 10 years old) can marvel at the many fascinating animals on display. Specially designed for kids, there’s a scavenger hunt, free face painting, and even the chance for the bravest among them to touch a spider, snake, or other reptile under expert supervision!
