Barcelona Aquarium Tickets

Barcelona Aquarium, or to use its official name, the 'L'Aquarium de Barcelona', is a great day out. The aquarium currently holds the title for the largest Mediterranean-themed aquarium in the world!

The aquarium has multiple different setups which showcase different aquatic habitats, with some being Mediterranean and others based on the warmer tropical waters of the Caribbean. They've even got an area dedicated to poisonous tropical fish!

In total across the 21 areas there are around 11,000 animals from over 400 different species.

The aquarium also has an incredible 80-metre long glass tunnel that you can walk through and be surrounded by sharks, eels and stingrays amongst others!

Oh, and did we mention they also have penguins and most of us love penguins! They normally get fed around 11:30 and 16:30 so if you happen to be there around those times try and see feeding time!
