What people say

"I love the sea and one of my dreams was to see dolphins, so I decided to go for this one, even if a bit more pricey. I've spent around 5 hours in there, so I would recommend doing it after lunch or with the mindset to spend money in there if not. The place is huge and has all sorts of animals. From birds to fishes, turtles and crocodiles, and even a dolphin show. The dolphin show is very interesting as they explain how they study and help dolphins, and it seems they treat them well. Before you start your discovery, check the show times and plan to take your seat at least 30 minutes before. I would recommend getting halfway in the path so that you can have a long break from walking. Some parts can be really overcrowded, especially the tunnels where is so nice to see sharks and turtles passing over you. "
"4:30 PM - This aquarium is the largest aquarium in Europe. It is quite expensive (~34 euros), so if you are interested, you would likely need to visit another day and spend about 3-4 hours to really enjoy the aquarium. We just checked out the outside structure since we didn't have time, and we have seen plenty of aquariums "
