About
Datos rápidos: Al entrar, un tanque central inmenso te envuelve, recreando varios hábitats marinos y mostrando especies que raramente se ven juntas en la naturaleza. Los cuidadores realizan inmersiones para alimentar a tiburones, rayas y peces tropicales, y el recorrido combina sorpresa sensorial con mensajes claros sobre conservación.
Destacados: Un enorme tanque central de aproximadamente cinco millones de litros alberga a cientos de animales en sincronía: tiburones, rayas y bancos de peces que giran como una galaxia azul frente a un panel de cristal gigante, y la colección supera los 16.000 animales y 450 especies. Al caminar por las galerías notas la sal en el aire y la luz azul, y a veces el personal reduce la iluminación para registrar el comportamiento nocturno de especies, una rutina discreta que saca a la luz desplazamientos y contactos que no se ven de día.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening or after 4 pm to avoid tour groups and long lines.
- Start at the top gallery and spiral down around the central tank for the best uninterrupted views and photo angles.
- Wear a light layer and comfortable shoes, the building can feel cool and involves a fair amount of walking.
- Check the daily schedule for feeding talks at the central tank, they offer the best close encounters and photo opportunities.

4.5Arrived at 9am, almost no line and calm views of the huge central tank. Ticket was 19€, the short guided talk was worth the extra fee; skip the overpriced cafe.
Went at 2pm on a Saturday and it was packed, expect queues for exhibits. Kids loved the touch pools but the special shark feed was 6€ and felt too short.
