The aquarium is very big, and they have lots of different species. Loved the manatees and sharks. The dolphins looked a bit unhappy though and were in a big empty tank without any stimulation.

The Aquarium visit is a must when visiting Genua with children. My 3 year old son was the entire time overwhelmed with joy and enthusiasm. The other two children ages 10 and 12 were also very impressed.

The booking was super easy. The tickets worked. The aquarium was well worth seeing. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time afterwards for the bus tours and exploring the sights. We would love to come back another time.
