I really enjoyed the aquarium. We bought tickets online in advance, but the line at the box office was short. There were several rooms and lots of marine animals. You could even feed the fish in one of the rooms. We had a great time.

Securing our tickets online and having them on my phone made entry super quick and easy. This was very helpful, given the day was quite wet and windy, and the ticket booths were out in the elements.

Such a peaceful place! First time visiting Barcelona and was unsure where to start. Found Headout had suggestions and off I went to the Aquarium. Surprisingly peaceful despite all the children visiting. Very informative. Lots to see and learn from. Better than the UK Aquariums i have been to. Would recommend and go again

I enjoy every minute of the Aquarium! It is really impressive this space, you can stay for hours just to look at the dinamics of fishes, the colors, the corals. We received the tickets fast, there was no problem, everything is very well organized. Thank you!

The fish are so colorful! Great idea to have treadmills in front of the large aquariums so that everyone can see well. Amazing discus fish, especially the red ones! All of the aquariums are super clean, no algae, and the fish look very healthy! These are professionals at work!
