L'Aquàrium de Barcelona Reviews 11

Too expensive for what it is. It took me 30 minutes to see everything, they were sometimes similar aquariums with similar fishes. I wasted my money but now I know. Besides of that it’s always good to see sea creatures

I went to L'Aquarium de Barcelona these days. Somewhere around the middle of the experience, I encountered a man who was accompanied by his children and his wife. This man started harassing me and my friend for no reason. He repeatedly told us to go back home and displayed aggressive behavior. We didn’t say anything to him and we didn’t do anything to provoke him. I would like to mention that there were also two employees present, and they did not intervene. I understand the anti-tourism protest, but we were not bothering anyone.

it was very med not a lot of fish to see food overpriced and not something special for 30€

Nice aquarium with lots of fish to see. Avoid the restaurant. The food was dear and the quality of food was very poor. I got the chicken kebab which I couldn't eat as it was horrible rubbery chicken. Chicken burger wasn't much better. Only thing editable was the chips

They should be shut down for their inhumane ways

The main tank is impressive but let down by having no hiding places for Moray eels, and no sand for the rays to rest on and hide in. Moray eels need holes and caves to hide in. Many other tanks are mostly inadequate in size for larger animals.

One exhibit that was particularly upsetting was a huge Beluga sturgeon and large sturgeon kept in a tiny tank going around in circles. Heartbreaking. There was a bare, tiny, inadequate tank for the octopus. Octopuses need essential stimulation and variety. Penguins should have access to natural sunlight and the open air.

There are some good tanks, displays, and play zones but let down by some poorly specified, badly thought out, and inadequate tanks. This aquarium could be so much better.
