Why visit Palma Aquarium?
Palma Aquarium is one of Mallorca’s most popular family attractions and home to thousands of marine species from the Mediterranean, Atlantic and tropical oceans.
Its most famous feature is Big Blue, one of Europe’s deepest shark tanks, containing more than 3.5 million litres of salt water and reaching a depth of 8.5 metres.
The aquarium combines large marine habitats, interactive exhibits, coral displays and outdoor family zones, making it one of the island’s strongest all-weather attractions.
Because many exhibits are indoors, Palma Aquarium is also one of the best things to do in Mallorca during rainy weather or extremely hot summer afternoons.
For visitors wanting a more unusual experience, the aquarium also offers shark diving experiences inside the Big Blue tank.
