What to see and do

The Barcelona Aquarium is one of the top things to do with kids in Barcelona (not to say you can’t go without them!). There is much to see, but these are some of the highlights:

The Oceanarium

Walk through an 80-meter underwater tunnel that gives you a 360-degree view of marine life in the main tank. You’ll feel as if you’re walking on the ocean floor, surrounded by sharks, rays, and other marine creatures.

Mediterranean Aquariums

Explore 14 Mediterranean-themed aquariums that showcase the diverse marine life found in the Mediterranean Sea. Each aquarium replicates natural habitats, offering a closer look at the underwater ecosystems of this region.

Tropical Aquariums

Experience the vibrant colors of tropical marine life with these aquariums showcasing species from warmer waters, including coral reefs and tropical fish.

The Penguin Habitat

Visit the Humboldt penguins in their specially designed habitat. You can watch these charming birds waddle on land and swim gracefully underwater. Don’t miss their feeding times at 11:30 and 16:30, when you can see them gobble up their daily sushi!
