Oceanogràfic tickets and how to organize your visit

Treat the aquarium as a set of separate habitats connected by outdoor paths. That layout makes weather, walking distances and breaks part of the visit, especially with children. Look at the site map when you arrive and decide which areas matter most to your group. Keep your next reservation flexible so a slow lunch or a longer stop does not create a rush.

Tickets

Oceanogràfic tickets and tours

  1. Aquarium admission

    Choose admission for the aquarium alone if you want to give its habitats your full attention. Check the selected visiting day and any entry instructions before paying.

  2. Combined attraction ticket

    Combined tickets can include other City of Arts and Sciences attractions. Read the conditions for each component, including visiting days and any separately reserved cinema session.

  3. Concession admission

    Review the official concession categories for your group and bring any required identification. Check children's age categories directly rather than assuming one rule applies across all attractions.

Questions

Oceanogràfic tickets and how to organize your visit

Should I combine the aquarium and science museum?

You can, but they make a long day together. Check whether your chosen combined ticket permits separate visiting days and plan around your group's attention span.

Is the whole visit indoors?

No. You move between habitats along outdoor paths, so bring suitable sun or rain protection and allow for the weather when planning breaks.

Can I leave for lunch and return?

Check the current re-entry rules directly before leaving. Do not assume that a valid ticket automatically allows repeated entry during the same visit.

Which ticket details need checking for children?

Check age categories, identification requirements and the conditions of any combined admission. Also review access information if you plan to bring a pushchair.
