Seville Aquarium, Seville

Discover the underwater secrets by making a visit to the famous Sevilla Aquarium that houses over 7,000 specimens from approximately 400 different aquatic species. The aquarium has been interestingly segregated into themed zones such as the Guadalquivir, Atlantic, Amazonian, Pacific and Indo-Pacific. These have been specially modeled around famous voyager, Ferdinand Magallan’s journeys around the world in the 16th century, and makes your tour feel like a voyage as well.

One of the most prominent features of the aquarium is the massive shark tank which is the deepest of its kind in the entire Iberian Peninsula and runs almost 9 meters deep with a capacity of almost two million liters of water. The clean and well kept tanks host a range of exotic creatures such as the sand tiger sharks, bull sharks, the atamata turtles, and the giant octopus, among others.

The various informative exhibits at the aquarium help visitors learn all about the ecology of the world's oceans. Among the other prime attractions here is the baby animal center, where newborn and young animals are on display. The shallow touch pool is yet another point of interest for kids as well as families.
