How many animals can you fit into 10 million litres of water? Quite a few, it turns out! Get your hands on a ticket for Europe's largest aquariums, and prepare for an amazing underwater adventure filled with unforgettable marine wildlife encounters.

Watch over 50,000 animals swimming around one of the most impressive aquariums in the world, which is also recognised by UNESCO. See grey sharks, a giant manta ray, incredible jellyfish, a sea turtle, penguins, crocodiles, and more.

Are you brave enough to take a walk through the ocean tunnel while sharks, fish, and cephalopods swim in every direction all around you? It's as awe-inspiring as it sounds!

As well as being Europe's largest aquarium, Nausicaá is also home to the continent's largest viewing panel. Stretching a jaw-dropping 20 meters long and 5 meters high, it affords some pretty amazing views of those fierce-looking sharks and the majestic manta ray.

With educational talks and live feeding demonstrations, as well as interactive activities – animal lovers are guaranteed a swimmingly good time.

17 million visitors have been touched by Nausicaá’s efforts to raise public awareness on the challenge of Ocean preservation, including 5 million school children since they opened in 1991.

Grand Large: The Giants of the High Seas in Augmented Reality

See the creatures of the deep as you've never seen them with Grand Large. You'll strap on Microsoft HoloLens 2 glasses and literally walk with the animals! See holograms so real you'll think you can reach out and touch the creatures, as you live an immersive, sensory experience in the heart of Nausicaá.

A leatherback turtle will accompany you throughout your AR journey, as you make contact with breathtaking species such as the whale shark, the giant jellyfish, and the Bryde's whale.

This experience is included in your ticket, but be sure to book a spot on entry as places are limited.
