A fantastic, very engaging tour with clever interactive games. The use of the "tapirulan" allows visitors to calmly observe this vibrant and dynamic underwater world. For children, the submarine is a really fun play area. The gift shop is beautiful, with lots of themed items, and the stingrays waving at us from the tanks were so cute!!

Well, Barcelona is amazing, the people, the food, the architecture, the entertainment, and even the weather are all at a high level, as is your app, which made everything easier for us, greetings from rainy Ireland!

A very immersive experience, with a very intuitive layout and a wide variety of species. The best part is the orca exhibit with jellyfish inside, and the rotating platform with the 360° aquarium.

Experiența la acvariul a fost precum o zi trăită intr- o lume lichidă unde liniștea a dansat printre culori, iar peștii și coralii au scris poezii fără cuvinte, iar Headout organizatorul din spatele cortinei.

Interesting experience and large aquarium .. very family friendly . My only issue is that the explanation for each fish was not too strong .. hence we had to guess a lot which fish is which one

It was easy and quick to get there, and being able to see the fish and sharks in an environment similar to their natural habitat was a sensational and unique experience for us
