Superb architecture; a compact but superbly designed site. Very impressive to see, and hear, seals, walruses and whales from both above and below the surface. Expensive to visit. Almost no information about the animals displayed - more circus than science, particularly the performing dolphins. Whole phyla ignored in favour of crowd-pleasing animals; entertainment not education. Laughable climate-change propaganda; exhorting people... more

We spent the afternoon at Oceanografic. We drove there and parked in the underground car park which was huge, We were there in the middle of May and it was very quiet so no problem finding a parking space.

If it's hot, catch a bus to the Oceanografic, and avoid walking. A bus runs straight from the train station to almost outside the door. Staff in the tourist office at the station are helpful and speak English. Built in the ocean bed, this whole complex is amazing architecturally, but you can spend a day at this huge aquarium. If... more
