This place is fantastic. It seemed expensive initially at 25 euros but believe me I would pay more. The aquariums are awesome, with great viewing areas and underwater tubes to walk through. The fish and othe aquatic animals were incredible.I would highly recommend going, you will have a wonderful time.

Amazing aquarium. Was unsure on whether to go give the admission price of €27 but it was absolutely worth every penny.The displays are all great and the large shark tank in particular is breathtaking.Visited on a weekday but with two cruise ships in, wasn't a problem.Would definitely recommend.

Up with the best of the aquariums I have seen. Hard to say what they could do better. Takes several hours to get round so good that there is a cafe and restaurant. Large simulated outdoor area, great number of small tanks, one huge and one vast tank. Largest tank window in the world in an amphitheatre setting. Multilingual touch screens everywhere giving info on exhibits. Large windows into tank from restaurant.

Highlight of my trip to the island. Great experience seeing so many fishes I’ve never seen before. The Aquarium is a lot bigger than I expected it to be. I was in awe the whole time. Loved it. It’s also near a big mall which is useful.

The sealife is displayed with care and imagination and is intended to bring visitors as close as possible to the creatures they are trying to protect from extinction in the wild.Personally, I'm happy to pay the entrance fee if the money is used to raise awareness of the importance of conservation and help stem the destruction of our environment.The collection of different creatures is just delightful, and the darkened passages add to the sense of awe.The unique design is delightful, and the highlight has to be when you enter the main viewing room, which literally takes your breath away.

Absolutely amazing Aquarium!So many different species, it was a great afternoon.The two highlights of the activity: the shark tank section, there are chairs where you can sit back and just watch the fish swim by - so relaxing and peaceful and Angela!! She was just great! She told us all about each animal individually, gave us recommendations of where to go to watch rays in the wild, showed us a shark tooth that apparently not everyone gets to see 🤫 and was just really nice in general, really professional and passionate about her job, we definitely learnt a lot with her 👍🏼👍🏼Definitely recommend it

What a great place to visit!Lots of Marine life which is stunning..If you have been to Sea life in the UK this place is miles better and for the price you can't grumble.

The way the animals are displayed at Poema del Mar Aquarium is truly remarkable. Each exhibit is thoughtfully designed, allowing you to get up close and personal with a wide variety of marine life. From the graceful movements of the sea turtles to the vibrant colors of the coral reefs, the displays create a captivating and immersive experience. It's a fantastic place for both kids and adults to learn about the wonders of the ocean.

Enjoyable time here. Lots to see although it's quite expensive to get in (mainly thanks to the rubbish value of the £ vs the €). If you have kids you'll enjoy a good few hours looking around.Edit: in response to the reply from the aquarium, they raise a very good point so I've updated my comments. I overlooked the costs associated with their work.

This Aquarium is Fantastic. Such a vast array of species and all thriving and in perfect habitats. Very clean very comfortable. Staff are very friendly and all speak English of you don't speak Spanish. You can spend hours here if you take your time to take it all in

We came to the aquarium on a weekday. The line at the ticket office was short, so in less than 10 minutes we already had our tickets. For two adults paid 54 euros. At the entrance, after checking our tickets, we were given a map of the aquarium. We ended up spending more than two hours there. Lots of sea animals, big screens. We watched with interest as the employee fed the sea anemone. We really enjoyed.

Worth a trip on a hot afternoon.It's off the motorway, but poorly signposted and we got lost in the harbour.Car park was full, but there is an underground one behind the official car park.Fortunately we had bought tickets online, there was a long queue in the heat outside.The walk takes you through reptiles and amphibians first until you get to the awesome central aquarium with different shark species.It is warm in there and there was a long queue for refreshments - suggest bring a drink and a snack.Enjoyable 4 hours would do it again.Suggest tie it in with something else in the North of the island, like Arehucas Rum Distillery, but they close at 14:00.

This place is amazing! Unfortunately we were on a tourist excursion and could not stay longer...we only had 1.5hrs you could easily spend here 2+ hours. Worth the visit!

Excellent, a true delight. I really enjoyed the experience I feel honoured that I had all the time in the world to browse. Because it wasn't that busy to distract you. Seeing the huge tank at the end was awesome I think it's meant to be one of the largest in the world.

It was a great day out. It is a beautiful place with plenty of extraordinary sealife creatures. We really enjoyed it! There are 2 small restaurants inside if you want to have a break.

Was an amazing experience, we absolutely loved it, didn't want to spoil anything for anyone so I've kept the best photos out of the review, but some things are not to be missed, this is one of them.

What an amazing place we absolutely loved it and so did our boys. Went on a Saturday but booked in advance to avoid queing at the entrance. Great information at each station clear guide from the map you receive when entering. Food is very good and well priced, so you are not getting ripped off. Coffee is very good. We had lunch in the restaurant and what a view. An absolute must would highly recommend this for anyone with or without kids. There is plenty of parking next door also.

Amazing place! My kids loved it! Lots to see and it is huge! Every sea creature to see ranging from small fish and sea horses to huge sharks and stingrays!We booked in advance with our hotel rep and entered the aquarium straight away, there are large queues so might be best to pre-book 👍🏾

The most beautiful aquarium I have seen so far.In recent years I have been to a large number of aquariums, but this was really the most beautiful.Throughout the complex, attention has been paid to the decoration, nature, beauty and most importantly the fish.The route through the building is clearly indicated and you gradually build up the tension. You start relatively small and the tanks get bigger and bigger, ending in a mega large panorama view aquarium.All aquariums are well maintained and there was not one fish that looked unhappy (don't know if you can see that, but still).If you take the time to go through it, it will take you about 2 hours. So absolutely worth it.(sidenote) There are two restaurants in the complex. Don't expect high quality meals here. The hot dog was cold and the spagetti was very nasty.

Amazing! Very well looked after. Loads of huge aquariums with healthy fish, plants and corals. The best aquarium I've every visited, by miles. Go if you're a fish keeper.

A must see. We had a great time there. So much tranquility there. The best so far, ever visited. We rented a car to go there (also public commute options I think), yet it is worth every penny.

Stacey Ellis

Amazing place! By far the best aquarium I've ever visited. Just when you think you've seen it all, there's something else amazing round the next corner.

An absolute must visit if you are in the area. This place is fantastic!I thought the tickets were a little expensive but when I entered I was immediately happy to say it was worth it.The theming all the way through the place is great, so even when you are walking between displays you still feel like you are in part of the experience.The displays themselves are beautiful and varied, from tiny fish up to sharks and alligators! The giant tanks really take your breath away and the tunnels make you feel like you're at the bottom of the ocean. Super immersive!There is detailed information on all the displays in multiple languages. Lots of toilets throughout. A cafe, restaurant and gift shop.The walkways are all pretty wide so you never feel super cramped and it appears that the disabled access is really great as it is all wide and gradual ramps instead of stairs.Again, if you are in the area, don't even debate it, just add this to your list of places to visit, you won't regret it.

An amazing place for the people who love fish and animals. The environments are really good and I always felt super cozy with the ambience and the fishes swimming really close to you. Also you can learn a lot of the different species that they have, there are touchable screens that explains the animals, where they come from and others things!

Beautiful aquarium with an extremely large range of different species. Looks very clean, professional and they have 2 places to eat at.Very wheelchair / buggy friendly as well with multiple ramps & elevators.

Must visit when you're in Las Palmas. The price was a bit steep but the aquarium definitely delivered. The place looked new and was very clean. We were there with my two kids and they had so much fun. My family used around for 3-4 hours to see everything. I would recommend parking at the shopping mall across the street.

Dan Tonkin

07:06 11 Apr 23

Brilliant. We paid €25 per adult & spent almost 4 hours in there, dazzled by every type of creature we expected & more. Well-crafted out, 2 site restaurants, a tunnel area, a huge cinema-like screen (but bigger!) by the end to watch a combination of the rays, fish, turtles & sharks. Throughout the visit we saw a lot. Worth it!

Entry fee is 25€, but i can tell you it is worth it. You can buy food and drinks there. It is very big aquarium, so i would advise you to have atleast 2 hours. You can sit and enjoy the most biggest acrylic aquarium in the world. You can also see turtles, crocodiles and chameleons.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was.Cost 25Eur each which seemed high, that was the only downside.The place is great for 2 - 3 hours.The large tank is amazing.Must visit!

Fantastic Aquarium. 5 Stars. A wonderful and knowledgeable experience had by both youngest and oldest in the family. The Aquarium is extremely well laid out, clear signage in different languages and spotlessly clean. Very educational for our youngest daughter (8yrs) who read all the Digital display boards, which had so much great information. This was one of the highlights of our family trip in Las Palmas. Well Done to staff who were so friendly and to management who run a great place. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic you must visit this place there is so much to see. The best aquarium I have ever been too bar none. Please allow a good few hours aside for this. Don't miss this!!!!!

Probably one of the best aquarium experience I have been to. There is so much to see and do here it's unbelievable. It also give you an image of what the oceans are going through right now and leaves you with a feeling of reducing your carbon footprint with whatever you do. Very educational a must do when here. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to see the under sea world in next to natural setting.

Amazing variety of sea creatures big and small, many I'd never heard of or had seen in the flesh. An extremely large tank held sharks and rays among others. It was well laid out and had several viewing points for the large tank. You can easily spend a couple of hours admiring all of the sea creatures. I was even more impressed when I sent an email and video expressing my concern about a small shark being attacked and they reassured me it was a normal mating ritual. Well worth a visit.

Absolute must visit if you are in town ! You will need 2-3 hours depending on how detailed you want to be while walking around. I have visited the place on Sunday and it wasn’t crowded. Price is 25€ per person so not cheap but worth every penny! Be aware aquarium is closing at 17:30. Cameras allowed but without flash

Went here with my nephew a couple of weeks ago. It was an incredible experience! The price seemed a bit high, but after the visit we could only conclude that it was more than worth it. Tanks are super well maintained, and large enough for the fish. Everywhere is information to be found. Lots of different species.Would most definitely recommend! We spent around 2,5-3 hours there.

Peter “Anduain” S

This aquarium is huge. There so many species to enjoy you should give yourself 3 hours.The neat coffee shop half way through is a nice addition.You will be amazing by the huge wall!

New and good aquarium.Good for family's with children's wagon's.Fairly busy.The walking direction should have been better marked, a lot of people went the wrong way 😆

Price for non residents are 25 EUR for adults and 17,5 EUR for children. Very large and well executed aquarium with heaps of fish, sharks, turtles and other amphibians. Accessible via wheelchair and for small children. Well worth the admission fee!

Go to this place, its fantastic! Suitable for all ages, it takes you thought different environments. It has superb array of fish and other creatures (won’t say too much!). The largest acrylic aquarium panel is situated here which is over 30m long! This was my favourite part of the Aquarium as it was just a magical experience.Don’t hesitate to visit!

Michael Wagner

08:11 17 May 22

Just... WOW! Outstanding aquarium with spectacular views. Great to spend a few nice hours, especially with kids. During the week not overcrowded.Price seems to be a bit steep, but honestly, it's totally worth it. What we especially liked, was the fact that they are trying to raise awareness of the human impact on the planet. Not in a unpleasant way though.The staff is also very friendly and you can have a snack/drink/meal in the bistro inside.We totally love this place!

Stephen Deighton

Excellent and good value for money. We spent at least 3 hours there and enjoyed the whole experience. Staff were very attentive and smiley. Well worth the visit.Keep it up.

Beautiful with it's tranquility. Lots of space for walking and also buggy and wheelchair friendly. You can rent a roller from there if needed.Tanks for small fishes are big and great and it is enough for the reef fish as well. I do think that sharks and any type of rays need bigger space. You are allowed to take photos, just without flash so please be mindful!

Peter Löck

15:11 11 Apr 22

We were just in the best aquarium that I have seen so far.Mega: rays, sharks, seahorses, starfish, corals, ... all fresh and salt water. Very good pizza in the face of sharks at the glass window.Built in three dimensions, each room more spectacular than the other, always a step up.

Louis Henderson-Carter

13:39 05 Apr 22

A lovely experience. We went during late march and it wasn't too busy which was quite nice. Large variety of sea life with some really big fish such as manta rays. Overall was quite impressive, can see how the price of €25 per person is quite high but I think it is justified when considering the costs of running such a facility. Unfortunately the bar/canteen was closed.

Emir Jaskic

19:29 27 Mar 22

Wow, what a place. I was impressed, really cool way to show off the fish. The kids enjoyed quite allot.The big panoramic pool with 50m of glass and maybe 7m tall was pretty impressive.The restaurant is the only thing that is on the down side, didn't have much to offer.Other than that, this is where you should spend you time and money.

19:38 19 Mar 22

Great aquarium with lots of fish to see especially the sharks and stingray! The design makes you feel like you are in the sea with all the fish and is perfect for photography. You can also see the staff working which is also very interesting! The only thing I noticed that the water is not as clean as it should be.

Christine Pettersen

15:04 08 Jan 22

Amazing aquarium. You never know how much time you spent inside. I recommend going early as you have more time to see the exhibitions and take pictures. Fun interacting stops along the way.

Great aquarium! Absolute worth a visit. It gets better the further in you go. Make sure you see everything as the last bit can be bit of a maze, but just look at the map they give you.

Carina van Dijk

15:32 29 Oct 21

Great visit! Very modern and clean building. Perhaps we had low expectations...but we rally liked the aquarium...the main different fishes, sharks and turtles. Our Kids loved running around looking at the different water area's. It was very quiet when we visited...took us about 2 hours to see everything.

It was a lovely experience. I have a 2 year old daughter and it was a perfect outing for us as a family... there were a few type of fishes that were new to me as well... the mega aquarium was amazing... just the sheer size of it and the marine life inside was captivating... the restaurant overseeing the mega aquarium was impressive as well.. overall, it is definitely recommended for those on a family trip especially with young ones...

One of the nicest aquariums I've been to.Definitely go there if you're ever on Gran Canaria.A first for me was the way they incorporated the above landscape of a jungle into the aquarium part below the surface.Also a 39 meters long acrylic viewing window isn't bad either.It's me in front of it and I'm 6"4

Fantastic and well-planned aquarium that rivals some of the best in the world.The tanks/exhibits felt intentional and almost artistic, and the fish looked healthy and not crowded.The facilities were spotless and paths were well laid out and easy to navigate.The cafe, which offers views of one of the larger tanks, also had some great cakes available.

paul young

08:19 26 Aug 21

Well worth the visit there's a cafe there selling snacks so can sit and have a drink while watching the fish swim by. Parking near by we were there 3 hours and paid €2.50 easy to drive to.

Robert Black

13:41 10 Aug 21

Such a beautiful and relaxing experience. 10/10 would definitely go back again. Could easily spend a whole day there on your own (or with family and friends). The main large tank with the sharks is unbelievable.

14:56 08 Aug 21

Excellent for all the family.easy to use app guides you through with virtual reality bringing dinosaurs to life as you walk around. Everyone's favourite was the big aquarium room.you can spend hours in there watching the amazing sea life! Quick visit 90 minutes but easily 3 hours! Take food or use limited cafe in the middle.

Beautiful aquarium with a nice walking tour. Most bars and restaurants were closed. It was quite calm although it's August. A perfect day out. We spent over 2 hours here.

Franco Dujardin

Amazing aquarium! Although the directions were a tad confusing, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend having a coffee in the café as the view is captivating. The overall organization and infrastructure was very well made.

21:53 15 May 21

An absolutely astonishing experience! The aquarium offers a wide variety of different animals of all sort of sizes. You won’t believe it if you weren’t there. We walked through the whole place in around 1,5-2 hours and it was absolutely worth the price. Very family friendly too. A must see if you are in Las Palmas!
