Aquariums in Valencia

Start with the Hemisfèric, continue to the Oceanogràfic, leaving the dolphin show for last, and while waiting for the show, visit the Science Museum 😉 I will definitely return. The animals are extremely well cared for, they have a great team in general, and any questions we had at any time were resolved by the museum staff – one of the best experiences of my life. Get ready to walk, but it's worth it ❤️❤️

I visited the Oceanogràfic during a trip to Valencia, and I have to say it truly lives up to its reputation. The complex is huge and stunning just from an architectural standpoint, but its real strength lies in how well-organized the exhibits are, cleanly split into different climate zones. By far the most impressive part is the long glass tunnel in the Oceans section—walking underneath while sharks and stingrays swim right over your head feels incredible. The Arctic pavilion with the beluga whales is also spectacular, especially since they’re amazing animals and really hard to see anywhere else in Europe. You’ll need at least a good four to five hours to enjoy it properly, so it’s best to buy your tickets online in advance to skip the line and get there early in the morning to beat the crowds. If you want to catch the dolphin show, which is included in the ticket, make sure to find a seat at least half an hour early because the bleachers fill up fast. The only downside is the food inside: the dining spots are quite expensive and offer typical theme park quality, so bringing your own lunch is a great way to save a bit. All in all, the entry ticket isn’t cheap, but considering the scale and quality of the aquariums, it’s completely worth it and an experience I’d definitely do again.

We had an amazing experience visiting both Bioparc Valencia and the Oceanogràfic. We loved seeing so many different animals and marine species up close. The environments were beautiful and well designed, and everything was clean and enjoyable. It was a memorable day and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Valencia!

We felt exactly like in ice age. With all the stones around us, the animals walking free near the restaurant at the entrance. Everything was amazing

I really liked the water park. It is an incredible place, beautiful and comfortable. Beautiful animals and fish. Everything is beautifully decorated. Well done to the people who created such beauty. I want to spend more time there to enjoy it.

I liked how easy it was to buy the tickets and then get in. There were quite a few people inside the park—since it’s August—but we were able to see and enjoy every section of the park, and we got to choose our seats for the Hemisferic.

You might want to wait until after noon to get on, since the buses are pretty crowded in the morning. Once you’ve snagged your favorite seat, it’s pure bliss. Our highlight was the City of Arts. Absolutely impressive 👍

Even though there could be more to explain, it was a really nice experience and a great way to see the sights, especially in sunny and warm weather. Perfect
