Why go
Oceanogràfic organizes animals by marine environment, allowing direct comparisons between temperate seas, polar settings and other aquatic ecosystems. Félix Candela’s thin-shell architecture adds a strong visual identity above ground, while the large tanks below bring visitors close to fish, marine mammals, birds and reptiles.
What to look for
- Separate habitat areas represent different seas and marine environments.
- Underwater viewing places large tanks and their animals at eye level.
- Félix Candela’s sweeping roof forms stand apart from the surrounding Calatrava buildings.
Useful to know
- Choose a habitat order at the entrance so you do not repeatedly cross the large site.
- Recheck the official timetable for your date because seasonal schedules change.
