Oceanogràfic Tickets

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.

A beautiful experience at the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia! The Oceanogràfic is definitely the highlight: huge, very well maintained, and with so many marine species. The shark tunnels, the jellyfish, and the underwater tunnel are very beautiful. The dolphin show is also very much worth it and was one of the most beautiful moments of the visit. The Science Museum is interesting and interactive, perfect for learning in a fun way. In addition, the architecture of the entire complex is spectacular. A highly recommended visit!

Lovely visit with turn 3 year old, she loved seeing all the animals, This natural-setting zoo, with a strong focus on the African experience, is absolutely amazing and such an enjoyable day out. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loves animals, it’s definitely worth the time spent there. The animal enclosures are exceptionally well designed, creating a really natural environment while still offering fantastic viewing opportunities. You get a great view of the animals at almost every stop, and the whole experience feels very thoughtfully put together.

Spectacular. I spent the entire day from morning to sunset, and in the evening when it is dressed in lights... and even the next morning. The modern architecture by the architect Calatrava contrasts beautifully with the ancient architecture of the city center... it feels wonderful inside. Interesting. At the Science Museum, you travel from the microcosm to the macrocosm... at the Oceanogràfic, you are immersed among sharks, penguins, and all kinds of fish, and at the Hemisfèric, you travel into space. What more can I say? Inside and out, it's for all ages ❤️

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 ❤️❤️
