What people are saying about Barcelona Aquarium

Overall rating

4.2 / 5

based on 4,274 reviews

The castle and gardens were a unique experience. And thanks to the corona virus, it's not so overcrowded either. The time tickets for the interior tour of the castle allow for low-maintenance entry and a smooth process, and have definitely saved us a lot of time.

Aquarium is really nice and clean. There are few empty fishtanks but definetely place to see. There is a tank where you can swim with sharks as well and it is absolutely amazing.

very easy to get to from the metro train station and then enjoyed the aquarium very much! perfect family day out. check out the timings for the daily feedings!

The ticket we got was skip the line, although in December it isn't as crowded. Overall a cool experience

Great from the start to end! Easy booking entry and lovely facilities too.
