Explore the world's oceans in a single day! At Livorno's stunning city aquarium, you can travel from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, admiring over 2,000 sharks, sea turtles, and tropical fish as you go. High-tech tanks simulate marine environments from around the world and hands-on exhibits keep kids informed and entertained – time to dive in!
The giant Indo-Pacific exhibit holds a whopping 30,000 liters of water, where striped zebra sharks zip among shoals of colorful lionfish. Then take a trip to the Mediterranean, and admire the spectacular sea turtles which are native to central Europe.
You can even travel back in time to the seas of ancient Greece and Rome (complete with authentic shipwrecks!) and see technicolor recreations of coral reefs.
Kids will want to make a beeline for the touch tank, where they can get closer to their finned friends than ever before, and giant interactive displays throughout the aquarium let you get hands-on with the most fearsome animals in the ocean.
