Palma Aquarium Entry Ticket with Optional 3D Cinema Mallorca

Palma Aquarium and its marine collection

Palma Aquarium is one of the biggest aquariums in Spain and the leading attraction of its kind in the Balearic Islands. It sits by the sea in the Playa de Palma area, about ten minutes from the airport, and is designed around a long journey from Mediterranean waters to tropical reefs, with thousands of animals from hundreds of species.

If you are searching for Palma Aquarium tickets, the entry ticket gives you a full day-style visit at your own pace. Most families spend three to four hours, which lets you watch feeding shows when they are on, and enjoy the quieter zones.

The shark tank, rays and reef zones

The centrepiece is the giant shark tank, where sharks, rays and large fish glide past a curved viewing tunnel and windows. Standing under the water while a shark passes overhead is the moment most visitors remember, and children love it.

Beyond the main tank, other zones show colourful reef fish, sea turtles, jellyfish and the animals of the Mediterranean, so you see the sea that surrounds Mallorca as well as tropical species, and the signs explain how the animals live. The aquarium also supports marine conservation and rescue work, which the displays explain.

The jungle zone and the 3D cinema

The jungle area recreates a tropical rainforest under glass, with humid air, waterfalls, mangrove trees, birds and reptiles, and it is very popular on hot days because of the shade. It is a pleasant break between the aquarium halls and works well with strollers.

The 3D cinema is included in the option with cinema, and it shows a short film about marine life that suits children. If you are deciding whether Palma Aquarium is worth it with kids, the mix of tanks, jungle and film makes it a very complete family outing.

Planning your Palma Aquarium visit

To get to Palma Aquarium from the city, take a taxi, a car or the public bus towards Playa de Palma and Can Pastilla, which takes roughly 15 to 25 minutes from the centre. Opening hours change by season, and the attraction is usually open every day, so check the times when you pick your date.

The best time to visit is early in the day, when it is quieter and the animals are active, or in the late afternoon when the crowds thin. Bring a light layer because the halls are air-conditioned, and allow time for the gift shop and cafes, which are optional.
