An unforgettable experience! The aquarium is located in the City of Arts and Sciences, with massive structures, truly fascinating. Great to visit as a couple or with a daughter, as in our case. We saw a beluga for the first time, very cute 🤭 the shark tunnel is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Bioparc is incredible because it's so well done, the landscapes look authentic, and it felt like being inside The Lion King 😊 We visited in mid-October, the weather was nice and mild. I think the Bioparc might be better in the summer because the temperature is closer to that of Africa, so perhaps the animals would be more active.
