Really cool underwater viewing areas. Online tickets w discount , but must be booked a day in advance. Worth the visit if you enjoy sea life .

Paul Lambie

There are wonderful beautiful creatures here but every aspect of the visit feels like an effort to either move you through or take your money. Beautiful sea life contrasted with contrived capitalism.

Ali Ozpala

It's really good. Three floored and big. Sharks, penguins ,jellyfishes . And alotof places for children. There is a big shop for gift and etc. I enjoy it.

Václav Vančura

It's an aging place but still amazing experience for your kids. Not so much for you if you know a thing or two about nature, but they will definitely enjoy it.

Ares, Jr.

A very good aquarium , especially compared to others I've been to. All interior, so nice and cool. Large variety of sea creatures too!

Iulia Oprea

You should see the shark tunnel which is amazing! That's a great place for families with kids. Don't forget to visit the souvenir store .

Ilya

Buy tickets online to avoid immense queue to to ticket office on site. Aquarium itself is impressive with lots of spicies from all over the world (mostly warm waters).

Jill Rettberg

Fantastic for kids - beautiful dramaturgy in the way you're led through the aquarium with excellent timing. Shark oceanarium was huge - kids Explora afterwards brilliant. Our 2 and 4 y.o. VERY happy!!

Purchase tickets on-line. Get 10% discount and enter the aquarium without staying in the line at all. The aquarium is quite old and needs a QUITE GOOD renovation especially at interactive features.

Apartment Barcelona

With over 450 species of aquatic creatures, 35 separate tanks, and an underwater tunnel that spans 80 meters, this Aquarium is sure to impress the entire family and make for an unforgettable day out

Marko Dugonjic

A shark tank of moderate size. The whole aquarium could use renovation. Pretty crowded with school excursions on a working day. Flaky WiFi . Really nice penguin tank, though, and a decent shop.

Joakim Wimmerstedt

You can dive with the sharks! I got it as a gift for my girlfriends 25th, and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

It is good for children. Not too big facilitiy but enough. There is one really good foodcourt in there.

Julia

I had a really great time here! A lot of beautiful fishes , good organization and explanations. Worth every cent I've spent.

Alèxia Solé

A good way of spending a couple of hours, especially with kids.

Levente Ujvari

Nice aquarium , must have for kids. They feed sharks 1230 CET on Tuesdays. Buy ticket online, not to wait ages to get in

Надежда Лейчинская

20 euros is a bit much. But sharks are impressive, coral reef fish are adorable, and if you are lucky enough, you get to see penguins having twitchy sex.

Liubov Vdovina

Looks a bit poor despite the magnificent building and the tunnel . In St. Petersburg (Russia) you can find a lot more lovely fishes :)

Rafał Nowosielski

I guess the biggest attraction are the sharks, but my son loved everything :-)

Jens

If you've been to aquariums across the world, Barcelonas cant really compete. However shark tank is impressive. Terrace offers nice views to the city . Entrance fee quite high.

Mariana RM

Huge diversity of sea creatures . You can spend good two-three hours in here

M C

Except the sharks, it’s a really poor aquarium , not the worth the money. Go to the Valencia one instead, you’ll enjoy it much more ????????????

Rafael Marin

Great journey through a wide variety of sea life . Totally worth it but quite expensive , though.

Pilgrim ????

It was very expensive to get in but the aquarium itself has some nice exhibits . I think it was a bit too pricey but we had a nice time. The revolving platform was a neat touch.

Leo DW8R

Beautiful and interesting aquarium with an impressive 'shark'-tunnel. Nice views of the harbour from the cafeteria .

Fox Vee

Everybody who like fishes should go there. There are a lot of them. It takes at least 2 hours to visit without hurry. Don't miss penguins hall after tunnel .

Oh-Barcelona.com

Don´t miss the impressive shark tank in the Barcelona Aquarium !

Erling Herstad

Long queue, Just buy tickets online and go straight in. Just download the pdfs in advance, they have to be generated With names

Kevin Chung

Entry 19 euros . So be sure you like sharks very much. Other than that, quite decent place that can be seen in 1-1,5 hour. Enjoy. :)

Otel.com

The original home of the animals issued in the Aquàrium Barcelona, is primarily the Mediterranean Sea and the tropical waters.

Armen Nurbekyan

Definitely one of the best places to visit with kids. Buy tickets online.

Michael Große

Not worth the time. Sea life is reduced to an empty, mindless attraction . No attempt is made to create a meaningful connection between animals and visitor. They're treated just as a marketing prop. ????

Vincent Valentine

Go to cosmocaixa, it's 4€ each and you spend more time and see more fish . 20€ is a massive rip off and my son was bored after 30 mins. Head to any Carrefour to get a 4€ discount if you want to pay.

Dimitris L.

A really nice aquarium . Especially if you have kids you must visit!!!

Linzeye Smith

Eat at the mall before you go in as the cafe is overpriced, badly cooked junk food. The walkway is the best bit but otherwise I'd probably save your €20 for something better!

Alexandra Peia

If you went to other Aquariums I would skip this one, nothing sensational, especially considering 20 euros entrance fee.

Yana Rytchenko

you can get a 2€ discount if you buy a ticket to Barcelona City Guide Tour

Evi Kiou

The underwater tunnel was amazing. Though no one was there to answer our questions.

Splash

Tired collection. Crowded . Filled with adults mindlessly snapping photos and recording videos on their phones while blocking views of the tanks.

Vasek S.

Buy a ticket on internet (18€)

Robin

Pretty expensive (19 Euro ) and they nag you to take a picture after the entrance. You don't have to buy it (it's 8 Euro ), but it's still a annoying, since it's slowing down the entrance process.

Niko

loved the penguins

Guy Perez

Awesome, don't miss it

Katerina???????????? Ieromonachou

Loved it!! The shark tank was exciting!! Take your kids!!

Walid Fakhouri

Good fun for the kids. However, be prepared to wait in line for a while to get your entrance ticket.

Sylvain P

Quite expensive : the visit is very quick. But the tunnel under the aquarium (Wotherspoon sharks and other fishes ) is spectacular

Ruslan Bes

Water tunnel under sharks, jellyfishes , eels . Missed turtles . Possibility to dive with sharks

Hendrix Morrow

It was a great scenery to take the family too.

Adam Smith

Not a great aquarium , the shark tunnel is alright but overall it's not worth the entrance fee. You can buy tickets online at a discounted rate but these can't be used on the same day of purchase.

Scigi

Quite expensive but worth a visit, especially with kids - there is a web discount of 1 euro if you register.
