VALENCIA, 31 August 2021: Would you like to know how the largest aquarium in Europe works from the inside?
This summer, the Oceanogràfic de Valencia introduces the Backstage Tour, taking visitors behind the scenes of the facilities and seeing firsthand the care of the animals that reside there. You can visit the quarantine area to see the variety of different species that are waiting to be incorporated into the exhibition tanks. Also, discover how all the water that comes directly from the sea is filtered on a daily basis – a total of 960,000 litres. And, if you are one of those who enjoy close encounters, this adventure is for you – walk above the shark tunnel with dozens of sharks at your feet. Another of the new experiences for this summer is the private night visit and the Dinners at Lake Vivo. Unique experiences for the whole family.
