Skip the line at Palma Aquarium in Mallorca, walk 1 km of marine exhibits, catch daily feedings, and add optional Aquadome 3D.
“Very good. Great selection of fish, sharks ,corals, fauna. The jungle was also excellent. The gran Azul is just amazing. Definitely worth a visit.”
Seville Aquarium ticket takes you on Magellan's voyage through 5 themed seas, 40 tanks, a 9m shark walk, and axolotls.
“They have all sorts of fish, but my favourite was the big tank with the sharks and turtles and the seahorses! Worth the money. You can plan about 1 to 1.5 hours for the visit.”
Skip the ticket line at Zoo Aquarium Madrid in Casa de Campo. See pandas, koalas, ocean life, and animal shows in 1 day.
“Fantastic Zoo. Easy access to all the bc animals wasn’t overcrowded and got a brilliant birds of prey display too!!! Definitely worth a visit”
Visit Lanzarote Aquarium for $18, see sharks through an underwater tunnel, explore 33 tanks across zones, and meet the turtle rehab team.
“Lovely little place, undergoing some renovations at the moment however. Staff really friendly and spoke several languages so really inclusive. Good to visit at lunch time as you can watch the animals get fed, including the sharks and the turtles! Staff round you up so you don't miss it which is great.”
Sea Life Benalmádena Aquarium on the Costa del Sol, with a 180º shark tunnel, green turtle, and hands-on bio beach rockpools.
“Went with my fiancé and she loved it, as did I! Lots of various species of marine life swimming around above you, amazing. And very relaxing!”
Ibiza north-coast cruise from San Antonio, aquarium Cap Blanc, snorkel at Ses Balandres, then beach time at Cala Salada.
“The boarding process is horrible. Making us wait until we get to broading to only tell us to go to a longer line and wait to get a ticket! This information should all be in the email and what's the point in booking through an app if the confirmation is not acceptable. After all that, of course I lose my place in line and miss all the good seats up top. The stops seemed very rushed. no time to really enjoy yourself”
Hop-on Hop-off buses plus the Aquarium of Barcelona. Pick Orange or Green routes for 24 to 48 hours, then enjoy the oceanarium.
“O Aquário foi espetacular. O autocarro foi muito bom, exceto a falta de sinalização nas paragens para o efeito. Quando descemos e queremos retomar noutro sítio, não é nada fácil.”
Atlantis Aquarium Madrid entry ticket near Xanadú: 20 exhibits, 10,000 animals, interactive tests, and a conservation badge for families.
“pues muchísima gente, demasiada. avalanchas dr críos. en media hora lo ves .. muchísimo calor .”
Timed skip-the-line entry to Barcelona Aquarium in Port Vell for a 1-hour visit, including Planeta Aqua, Explora, and the shark tunnel.
“Very enjoyable despite the noise level of all the excited children in every language possible. Nice, soothing trip to conclude my vacation on.”
Every sort of day out, and the best-rated of each.
