Bella esperienza, fatta già ad inizio anno, ripetuta con piacere. Gli animali, sembra siano ben tenuti. Se vi capita da non perdere lo spettacolo dei delfini more »

A fantastic, top notch aquarium. They say it's the largest in Europe but you can see everything in an afternoon. While I encourage you to support the aquarium by buying souvenirs and food, eat somewhere else if you have a list of restaurants you want to eat at. The only reason to eat at the aquarium is for the view.

Pretty good aquarium, with an excellent opportunity to view dolphins. On the other hand, it's claim to be 'the biggest in Europe' must be based mainly on the amount of empty floor space, not the number of tanks or fish. It's pricey, and the entrance cost (€70 for 2 adults and a small child) doesn't even include entrance to all of the aquarium.

Nice place. Not extra big. But if you like sea creatures you can spend a lot of time. Kids were happy to run with delphines and "play" with tropic fishes. Will visit next time for sure

We loved this place! There is a great range of animals to see and its very educational. I love the fact that they put everything in English too.

I really loved the variety of different sea animals one was able to see here, especially the dolphins were a big highlight! Still I found the tank for the dolphins too small. I'm sure they would love an extra swimming area outside of the aquarium for example!
