Planning Your Visit

Sevilla Aquarium welcomes guests year-round, but smart planning can make a difference. The busiest periods cluster around weekends, public holidays, or school breaks, so aim for weekday mornings if a quieter experience is key. Situated a short walk from the Torre del Oro, the aquarium fits easily into a day of sightseeing near Seville’s city center. Tickets are available online and at the door, but buying ahead avoids lines on busy days. Most areas cater to visitors of all ages and mobilities, though the sheer variety of tanks means there’s plenty to see even if little legs tire quickly.

  • Best time to visit: Weekday mornings, especially in spring or autumn, for fewer crowds
  • How to get there: Bus lines (21, C4, 3, 40), the green Metrocentro tram, or a riverside walk from the center
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible paths, baby-changing stations, stroller-friendly throughout
  • Average visit duration: Plan for 1.5–2 hours to see all sections at a relaxed pace

Must See Stuff

While Sevilla Aquarium doesn’t claim world-record sizes, its creative displays and rich storytelling stand out. Exhibits loosely follow the journey taken by Ferdinand Magellan—linking Seville’s history as an explorer’s city to modern marine science. Several jaw-dropping tanks, interactive touch-pools, and themed environments keep curiosity high, especially for younger visitors. Special events like feedings or themed guided tours offer changing experiences year-round.

  • Main tank: Home to sandbar sharks, rays, and hundreds of fish circling a giant underwater tunnel
  • Amazon River zone: Watch for piranhas, giant river turtles, and iguanas basking under leafy canopies
  • Atlantic and Indo-Pacific ecosystems: Colorful coral, clownfish, and exotic seahorses fill these lively tanks
  • Magellan-inspired displays: Walk the "Route of Discovery" tracing the explorer’s path through the world’s oceans
  • Photo-worthy spots: The walk-through tunnel and wall-sized jellyfish display are guest favorites
  • Historical note: Exhibits tie in Seville’s maritime past, explaining how exploration changed the known ocean world

Tips for Your Visit

Aquarium visits in Seville offer a break from the city’s summer heat, but indoor crowds mean it can get stuffy—hydration and breaks matter. Flash photography is discouraged to protect marine life, though phone cameras capture most colors well. Small lockers near the entrance handle coats or day bags, freeing hands for little explorers. Facilities include several snack machines and a small café, though portions are modest and prices a touch higher than city cafés. Like many Spanish sites, afternoon siesta hours can shift closing times, so double-check before arriving late in the day.

  • Best times to avoid crowds: Early morning or late afternoon on weekdays outside school holidays
  • What to bring: Water bottle, camera, comfortable shoes, light sweater for cooler rooms
  • Local etiquette: Supervise children closely, avoid tapping on tank glass, line up patiently at interactive zones
  • Safety or comfort tips: Use hand sanitizer after touching interactive displays; keep receipts for re-entry if stepping outside
