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!!

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.

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
