Your Experience

Your experience

Don’t waste your time standing in long queues. With these tickets, you’ll head straight to the aquariums after a security check. Save your energy and time to explore Europe’s largest aquarium.

Meet the marines

The 85 aquariums of the Nausicaa replicate the habitat of the sea creatures, everything from water temperature to vegetation and dietary requirements. Each space is tailored to its 58,000 residents, i.e. more than the population of Greenland! You can stroll through submarine tunnels, aquariums, water tanks, and terrariums and greet up to 1,600 species. Some of the crowd favorites are sea lions, sharks, manta rays, and penguins. If you've got kids, take them to the Touch Pool and watch them bubble with joy as they caress fishes and rays. This could be your chance to push your kids closer to nature and help develop a keen interest in the mystical wonders of the underwater world. Sea lion training is another kid-favorite activity that you shouldn't miss.

Experience AR exhibits

These tickets will also allow you to access all permanent exhibits that use augmented reality and large projections to create immersive experiences. Join ‘In the Eye of the Climate’ to witness the floor-to-the-wall projections that teach the effects of global warming and help you understand the power of your actions. Another such exhibit, ‘The Giants of the High Seas’, uncovers a highly inaccessible world and reveals the secrets that draw many endangered marine animals to the Malpelo islands.
