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

All in all a wonderful experience. Lots of aquariums with exotic fish and display boards. Unfortunately, the building was totally overcrowded with visitors. Many groups of visitors (estimated over 100 children), so that you could no longer understand your own words and stood in a very confined space with the people in front of the aquariums.

Visit the extraordinary Barcelona Aquarium for a fun and educational experience with skip-the-line tickets.

The impressive oceanarium has quite a bit to offer, including close-up views of the aquatic animals.

Gaze out at 35 aquariums, housing over 11,000 creatures across 450 species.

Check out the different zones, including Planeta Aqua, The Oceanarium, the Explora! Children's Area, and more.

Wave at the friendly inhabitants of the Mediterranean sea, including sharks, ocean sunfish, and morays.

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!

This experience was one of the best that I ever had in Barcelona. It was very scientific and very beautiful to see creatures which you'll never see in your real life

Great city, we saw and experienced a lot. We gained great impressions and had aha effects👍🏻

Skip the long lines and step into the world of marine life at The Barcelona Aquarium. The aquarium is perhaps the best place for families with kids to learn about marine biodiversity and the importance of marine conservation, two themes that run close to everything the Aquarium does in terms of its activities and it's set up. The facility is divided into 35 aquariums and enclosures that house approximately 11,000 animals across 450 species. As such, there is no doubt plenty to see and admire here, but there are some things that you just can't miss!

The three main zones include Planeta Aqua, the Oceanarium, and Explora! Children's Area, each more unique than the other. Needless to say, if you have little ones tagging along with you, make sure they check out the Explora! zone to help spark up an interest in oceanology!
