Seville Aquarium

Seville Aquarium is one of the city’s most engaging family attractions, home to over 7,000 marine animals across five ecosystems inspired by the historic Magellan expedition. Guests can explore river habitats, tropical zones, deep-sea species and a spectacular Oceanarium tunnel featuring bull sharks, rays and sea turtles.
This venue is also included in select MegaPass city passes, making it easy to combine with other top attractions during your trip.

The aquarium opened in 2014 with a design concept based on Ferdinand Magellan’s legendary circumnavigation route. Each zone reflects a major geographic stage of his expedition—from the Guadalquivir River to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It was created to blend entertainment, marine conservation and educational storytelling.

Visitors choose Seville Aquarium for its immersive exhibits, family-friendly layout and diverse collection of marine life ranging from jellyfish and colorful tropical fish to sharks and reptiles. The Oceanarium tunnel provides dramatic underwater views, while touch pools and interactive zones offer hands-on learning opportunities. It’s an excellent indoor activity in Seville for all ages.

Tickets generally include entry to all exhibitions, themed zones and the Oceanarium tunnel. Visitors can explore freely at their own pace and enjoy educational displays along the route. Depending on the season or product, tickets may offer optional add-ons or bundles—such as hop-on hop-off bus upgrades for exploring Seville further.

Ticket prices vary by age group and season. Reduced rates may be available for children, seniors or families. Special promotions can appear during holidays or low-season periods. Prices may fluctuate depending on additional experiences or exhibitions.

The aquarium is open daily, with extended hours on weekends and shorter schedules on certain weekdays or during low-season months. Last entry is usually allowed 30 to 60 minutes before closing. Public holidays or special events may slightly adjust opening hours.

Seville Aquarium is located near the city’s riverfront, close to Parque de María Luisa. Visitors can reach it by bus, tram or a pleasant riverside walk from central Seville. Taxis and rideshare services also provide convenient drop-off options. Parking is available nearby for those arriving by car.
