The Barcelona Aquarium is the ideal place to learn about the marine universe and all its different species. You will learn about them through the 35 different Mediterranean and tropical basins that house 11,000 animals from about 450 different species. The most spectacular of all is the immense Oceanarium, the only one in Europe that is 5 meters deep and 36 meters in diameter.
An 80-meter transparent tunnel runs through the Oceanarium where you can walk among sharks, giltheads, morays, ocean sunfish and many other species. You can also visit the permanent exhibits, Planeta Aqua and Explora! which show the importance of water in the development of our planet and where children can discover the underwater world using their five senses.
