Grupos Acuario de Gijón

The Gijón Aquarium offers you a tour of 60 freshwater and saltwater aquariums that will allow you to discover the flora and fauna of the world’s seas in detail. More than 2,000 cubic meters of water to recreate life in Asturian rivers, the Cantabrian Coast, the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the Red Sea, the African Indian Ocean, the South Atlantic Ocean, and the Subtropical Atlantic Ocean. All in two hours. Salmon, eels, trout, sturgeon, box fish, bull sharks (almost three metres), gray and nurse sharks coexist in the Gijón Aquarium together with the loggerhead turtles. These are just some of the 5,000 animals that you will be able to see during your visit. The Aquarium’s objective is education, dissemination and conservation of the oceans. For this, a “touch touch” area has been created, where in small pools you can touch starfish, small fish or sea cucumbers. You can’t miss it!
