Description

A fully transformed experience — more immersive, more interactive, and more exciting than ever before.

L’Aquàrium de Barcelona celebrates its 30th anniversary with a spectacular transformation. Dive into a completely renewed space where technology, emotion, and environmental education come together to offer an unforgettable journey through the marine world. From the very start, you’ll be welcomed by the largest interactive digital floor in Europe and invited to explore new spaces like Journey to the Depths, a one-of-a-kind immersive room where you’ll travel through stunning underwater ecosystems aboard the SubAqua Explorer.

Along the way, you’ll explore more than 80 aquariums — both Mediterranean and tropical — walk through the longest underwater tunnel in Europe (80 metres!) surrounded by sharks, and encounter fascinating species like the elusive sea dragons. The Mediterranean Sea takes centre stage, with dedicated spaces inspired by the Medes Islands and the Ebro Delta, showcasing a strong commitment to marine conservation and sustainability.

The experience is full of interactive moments for all ages: in Aqua Protectors, kids can create their own digital fish and watch it swim in a virtual ocean; in the new mangrove zone, visitors learn through interactive games and sensory installations; and in SOS Oceans, science and emotion combine in a playful yet powerful call to protect our blue planet.

Located in the heart of Barcelona’s Port Vell, the new Aquarium is one of the city’s must-visit attractions. Rediscover the sea with all your senses — be moved, have fun, and learn while reconnecting with nature like never before.

Most spectacular of all is the immense Oceanarium, 5 meters deep and 36 meters in diameter. A transparent 80-meter-long tunnel runs through the Oceanarium, making it possible for you to walk among sharks, gilt heads, morays, and many other species.

With your ticket you'll also be able to visit the permanent exhibition, Planeta Aqua! that show the importance of water in the development of the planet, and where kids can discover the underwater world, using all of their 5 senses.

After your visit, you'll be able to enjoy the different services on offer, such as the café, shop, and others.
