Highlights

Skip long lines of Europe’s largest aquarium. Get straight to the action and say hello to the 1,600 species across 85 aquariums and terrariums.
Walk through an 18m long submarine tunnel — befriend penguins, admire hammerhead sharks, and watch sea lions getting trained.
Access perpetual exhibits like The Giants of the High Seas and follow a leatherback turtle to uncover secrets of Malpelo Island, home to endangered marines.
Pet a shark! At the Touch Pool, the likes of Catsharks and Thornback rays will swim to your hands for a caress.

We were already in a good mood when we arrived at the Nausicaa parking lot. Then the entrance went very smoothly. Then the visit was like a fairy tale. The only drawback was the lack of signposting on the ground to indicate the direction of the visit. We were amazed by the 6 m long aquarium and the tunnel, which gave us the impression of being in the middle of the marine environment.

Booking via this site is quick and easy, and tickets are made available directly. No need to go to a ticket office to buy tickets. Although there were a lot of visitors, entry was very, very quick.

Uncomplicated entry...everything without any problems. The price is not cheap...but it's definitely worth it. Sometimes you get a bit confused with the sequence of rooms, but you find everything in the end. The large tank with sharks and rays is very impressive and you can just sit there and watch the fish. Very suitable for a bad day, you can spend a lot of time there and should do so. Particularly suitable for children.

Your experience

Don’t waste your time standing in long queues. With these tickets, you’ll head straight to the aquariums after a security check. Save your energy and time to explore Europe’s largest aquarium.

Meet the marines

The 85 aquariums of the Nausicaa replicate the habitat of the sea creatures, everything from water temperature to vegetation and dietary requirements. Each space is tailored to its 58,000 residents, i.e. more than the population of Greenland! You can stroll through submarine tunnels, aquariums, water tanks, and terrariums and greet up to 1,600 species. Some of the crowd favorites are sea lions, sharks, manta rays, and penguins. If you've got kids, take them to the Touch Pool and watch them bubble with joy as they caress fishes and rays. This could be your chance to push your kids closer to nature and help develop a keen interest in the mystical wonders of the underwater world. Sea lion training is another kid-favorite activity that you shouldn't miss.

Experience AR exhibits

These tickets will also allow you to access all permanent exhibits that use augmented reality and large projections to create immersive experiences. Join ‘In the Eye of the Climate’ to witness the floor-to-the-wall projections that teach the effects of global warming and help you understand the power of your actions. Another such exhibit, ‘The Giants of the High Seas’, uncovers a highly inaccessible world and reveals the secrets that draw many endangered marine animals to the Malpelo islands.
