The dolphin show was wonderful, and I also really liked the sea lions! The tunnels were very beautiful and interesting, and the 1,000 varieties of jellyfish were also beautiful! The flamingos and crocodile were also cute.

An absolutely wonderful experience! The Bioparc + Oceanographic combo was perfectly organized and very easy to use. The Bioparc makes you feel like you're in the middle of nature, the animals are well cared for, and the Oceanographic is impressive, especially the shark tunnel and the dolphinarium. A memorable day, ideal for both adults and children. I highly recommend it!

Visiting the Oceanarium in Valencia was an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was fascinated by the beautiful design and the incredible variety of marine life. Watching the sharks, jellyfish, and dolphins was truly breathtaking and calming at the same time. Everything was well organized, clean, and informative, and I could feel how much care goes into the animals and the exhibits. I left feeling inspired, relaxed, and genuinely happy — it was one of the highlights of my trip to Valencia and I would recommend it to everyone without hesitation.

Care is the respect that the staff has for all the animals in their care, biodiversity, and the facilities where the animals live. The dolphin show is very exciting.

Valencia definitely impressed (and yet to see the Mestalla). But what a city of sights🥰 Can recommend the bus tour around the city and then jumping off at the Mediterranean seaside for some lunch and a stroll on the boardwalk. Then a stroll home past the Torres dels Serrans such a fantastic public space with football pitches and other sporting activities. We loved it. A little chilly with the breeze, but the sun did warm us. #kerrys60th2026
