The Cattolica Aquarium, opened in 2000, is the largest in the Adriatic Sea and the second largest in Italy. Located in a 110,000-square-meter area, it houses more than 3,000 specimens of 400 different animal species and offers a journey into the Earth's biological evolution and marine ecosystems.
Park attractions
The Cattolica Aquarium offers four thematic routes: Blue, Yellow, Green and Purple. The Blue Trail takes visitors on a journey through Earth's biological evolution among sharks, Humboldt penguins, jellyfish, and stingrays. The Yellow Trail, on the other hand, is dedicated to waterways and allows encounters with otters and caimans. The Green Trail explores the world of exotic animals such as chameleons and snakes. Finally, the Purple Trail hosts the educational exhibition on the world of insects. The admission ticket also entitles the visitor to visit the World of Dinosaurs, a large outdoor exhibit featuring major dinosaur specimens.
Experiences and activities
The Cattolica Aquarium organizes initiatives and events that allow visitors to get in touch with sea creatures and learn more about the Aquarium's protagonists. For example, you can witness the feeding of sharks, penguins, otters and stingrays, or book a Behind the Scenes tour to discover the valuable work behind the tanks or the guided tour The Secrets of the Reptile House to discover reptiles.
Where to eat
Inside the aquarium are food outlets, such as the #Cologne34 snack bar at the end of the Blue Trail, which offers various food and beverages. Outside, on the other hand, is the restaurant of the Pesce Azzurrochain.Tickets
