A visit to L’Aquàrium de Barcelona - Barcelona Aquarium

When we visited Barcelona with kids for the first time we aimed to see as much of the city as we could on a budget. We spent most of our 48 hours in the city enjoying the free sights and soaking up the atmosphere of the beautiful Catalan capital by doing a lot of walking.

However, we did indulge in one treat for ourselves and our two pre-schoolers on out last day in Spain: a visit to L'Aquarium de Barcelona.

I love aquariums. They are always great fun for the kids. This one looks fab and even better if it is in Barcelona! ;-) x

Another good reason for me to book that return visit to Barcelona - seems so much to do as well as the fish which is lovely. And the smiles on that barrel slide!

I've only been to Barcelona without the kids - I'd definitely look at going to the aquarium with them though, it looks fab.

The walk-through tunnel looks amazing! And is that a baby's bottle your daughter's using to feed the fish?? Lovely video. x

Good stuff. Of the many times we've gone to Barcelona, we've never actually done the aquarium. Looks cool. Is it free?
