GENOVA'S AQUARIUM
The Genoa Aquarium is an aquarium located in Ponte Spinola, in the sixteenth-century ancient port of Genoa.
At the time of its inauguration it was the largest in Europe and the second in the world.
The 2 hour and 30 minute itinerary includes 39 tanks in addition to the 4 open-air ones of the Cetacean Pavilion inaugurated in the summer of 2013. The total area of the structure is 27,000 square metres.
The tanks house around 15,000 animals of 400 different species including fish, marine mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates in environments that reproduce the original ones of the individual species with obvious educational purposes.
Four large tanks allow you to observe the animals from two different levels; respectively host manatees, sharks of different species, seals, penguins. Thanks to the new Cetacean Pavilion, the dolphins can be admired both from above, thanks to a large glass wall with an opening window, and from an underwater perspective thanks to the 15-metre-long glass tunnel and the large 20-metre-long acrylic.
Twice a day, the public can watch the dolphins feed with a trainer available to tell curiosities and information about the biology of the animals and the daily work necessary for the maintenance of these animals.
The special "Adventure Aquarium" and "Secret Aquarium" itineraries are particularly suitable for children: they allow them to discover what is hidden behind the tanks and see the secret areas of the Aquarium. Children will be able to understand and learn much more about the beauty of the aquarium.
