Highlights
Genova's aquarium
The Aquarium of Genoa is an aquarium located in Ponte Spinola, in the sixteenth-century ancient port of Genoa.
At the time of its inauguration it was the largest in Europe and the second in the world.
The 2 hour and 30 minute journey includes 39 tanks in addition to the 4 open-air ones of the Cetaceans Pavilion inaugurated in the summer of 2013. The total surface area of the structure is 27,000 square metres.
The tanks are home to around 15,000 animals of 400 different species including fish, marine mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates in environments that reproduce the original ones of the individual species with clear educational purposes.
Four large tanks allow you to observe the animals from two different levels; they are home to manatees, sharks of different species, seals and penguins respectively. Thanks to the new Cetacean Pavilion, dolphins can be admired both from above, thanks to a large glass wall with an opening window, and from an underwater perspective thanks to the 15 meter long glass tunnel and the large 20 meter long acrylic.
Twice a day, the public can witness the dolphins' feeding time with a trainer available to tell curiosities and information about the biology of the animals and the daily work necessary to maintain these animals.
The special "Aquarium Adventure" and "Secret Aquarium" itineraries are particularly suitable for children: they allow them to discover what is hidden behind the tanks and see the secret areas of the Aquarium. Children will be able to understand and learn much more about the beauty of the aquarium.
