A wonderful experience, my fiancé and I went around 3:30 p.m. and there was no line, we went in and by that time a few people were there. We saw a lot of fascinating specimens, including even characters from the "Finding Nemo" cartoon which was a fun happenstance. There are immersive rooms as well, where things happen that feel like living inside the story. I definitely recommend the Barcelona Aquarium!!!☺️

Buying tickets without a queue is amazing. At two o'clock in the afternoon I decided to visit your aquarium. While sitting in front of the palace, I clicked on your website and ordered tickets for the time that suited us the most. It was quick and easy. Buying tickets like this saves time and possible standing in line at the box office. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience. Hana

As for the boat trip, unfortunately I couldn't get there in time, I chose the time wrong and the difficulty of moving around in Barcelona's traffic hampered the experience, they could have made the time more flexible, but in the end it was very satisfactory.

And my first time entering an aquarium, so for me it was very nice, also because I was together in the company of the wonderful people 🤗, but also because of everything I could see.

Visiting the Barcelona Aquarium was one of the most fascinating experiences of my trip! As soon as I walked in, I found myself immersed in an underwater world full of colors, lights, and incredible creatures. The transparent tunnel is simply spectacular — walking through it while sharks and rays glide above your head is something I’ll never forget. The themed tanks are beautifully designed, with great attention to detail, and perfect for both adults and children. I really appreciated the interactive displays and the focus on marine conservation. It’s a place that combines fun and awareness in the best way. I highly recommend anyone visiting Barcelona to stop by, even if only for a couple of hours. It’s a relaxing, educational, and truly magical experience. You don’t need to be a kid to be amazed by so much beauty!
