Nature attractions
A visit to the brand new Palma Aquarium is an experience you will never forget, but to get the most out of it, you must allocate at least half a day, perhaps even a whole day!
Palma Aquarium is a technical marvel with its 55 tanks presenting over 8000 marine specimens in faithfully recreated habitats and ecosystems from the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. The visual experience is simply stunning, offering close-up glimpses of an amazing variety of marine species in their natural environments. There is also the opportunity to interact with some of the animals in some specially designed tanks.
But that’s not all that Palma Aquarium has to offer. The Jungle Expedition is an amazing recreation of a jungle environment in the form of the second largest roof garden in Europe. It’s hard to do justice to this astonishing feature in words – you have to experience it!
You should be sure to visit the external gardens which combine beautiful Mediterranean plants with tanks holding turtles, hammerhead sharks, rays, and other species. You’ll also find a children’s play area here with an exciting rock filled galleon for exploration.
Some of the other facilities offered by Palma Aquarium are a cafeteria, a restaurant for special events, and a shop for those all-important souvenirs. The complex also offers conference and exhibition facilities, and a range of educational activities. Behind the scenes, Palma Aquarium is engaged in marine research and conservation, and plans to provide rescue and rehabilitation assistance for marine creatures.
There is a lot to see and do at Palma Aquarium which delivers true value for the entrance fee.
