Valencia Aquarium Oceanografic

The Oceanogràfic in Valencia offers a variety of immersive events and experiences beyond its standard exhibits. These activities range from educational tours to unique overnight adventures within the largest aquarium in Europe.

Signature Guest Experiences

• Sleeping with Sharks: A unique overnight event where families or school groups spend the night in the 70-metre underwater tunnel, sleeping under the watchful eyes of over 100 sharks. The experience typically includes a welcome session, dinner at the Oceanogràfic's restaurants, and breakfast the following morning.
• Backstage Tour: A 75-minute guided journey that takes visitors behind the scenes to see the "wilder side" of the aquarium. Highlights include visiting the quarantine area to see hatchlings, exploring the fish kitchen where meals are prepared, and walking directly over the shark tunnel on technical walkways.
