I visited this place a couple of days ago with my husband and daughters and found it really distressing! My daughters were upset and one wanted to leave after five minutes! I promised myself then and there to try and do something about this dismal place . conditions are cramped, tanks are not clean, some of the fish are injured,... More

A friend and I visited the Alghero Aquarium, Sardinia, in May 2007 (8Euro entry each) and were upset and disgusted at the conditions of the sea creatures and their environment. We were so upset we left after a couple of minutes as we couldn't believe our eyes as it got progressively worse at each turn. We relived the upset each... More

I was very surprised to see that Alghero had an aquarium, but with a few hours to kill before taking my flight home decided to pay it a visit. I was absolutley shocked by this place. Possibly the worst aquarium that I have EVER visited. The fish and turtles are kept in terribly small tanks that cannot possibly be good.... More

There are indeed some nice creatures here. But the poor things are living in squalor and as others have pointed out, no plants and no cleaning evident. A huge eel in a small tank where it can barely turn round. Many fish still and lifeless looking. We will be sending photos to the RSPCA to see if there is a... More

We visited Alghero for Christmas/New Year and having read that the Aquarium (off Piazza Sulis) had some interesting exhibits decided to visit on our penultimate day of leaving. It was very disappointing in many ways. On entering there are shell exhibits etc., which are interesting. As my interest was taken, I very nearly fell down some unmarked steps and would... More

This has to be an expensive waste of money, 8 Euros to watch sea creatures swim about in very small tanks. There are some very strange eels within the buildings but anyone who has a care for wildlife do not support this place as the conditions are not very good. The service was very good but save your money and... More
