Everything was unproblematic. Bought a ticket and therefore did not have to wait in line. The aquarium is very nicely done. Unless a bunch of kids are crying, but we just walked away from that a bit:)

My daughters and I decided to dedicate a few minutes of relaxation to ourselves among the tanks of the Barcelona Aquarium. Small, clean, with different species of fish; the tank with the walkway where you can observe the fish at 360 degrees is very beautiful.
I enjoyed the layout of it, especially where the fish swim over you. The gift shop is very cute as well, I was able to get some gorgeous glass souvenirs for my friends
It was truly enjoyable to spend a day with family at the Barcelona aquarium; my daughter had a great time.
We saw all type of fish.. sharks are awesome. Suitable for kids and families. Also connected to a mall
From what I had read and the price I had many expectations despite this was still a good experience. The tunnel where you walk among sharks and other fish is the most fascinating part
Many varieties of fish and they even had sharks and penguins! The aquarium was very nice, but I made the mistake of going on a rainy Saturday. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who decided to escape the rain by visiting the aquarium. The place was full of very exuberant children. If this is a problem for you, you may want to attend on a weekday when schools are in session. Buying the tickets online to skip the line only really allows you to skip the ticket purchase line. There will still be a line to enter based on the time slot you booked.
Most beautiful aquarium I haven't seen yet. Organized and clean.. Beautiful and immersed o. I highly recommend it is the third time I go there and will definitely return again
The price of admission is very high for what you get. The aquarium livestock is mediocre at best. Maybe I had set my expectations too high thinking everything carrying the Barcelona name is first class. The signage was very very basic. Candidly I've seen better aquariums in private residences.
Very nice aquarium. Pleasant visit. Different species to see especially sharks. What to do if visiting Barcelona
