Sharks, beluga whales, manta-rays and sea-lions are some of the attractions that inhabit the specially designed pools. The dolphinarium is also the largest in Europe. You can walk through clear underwater tunnels to see many different species of fish. Beware though; wherever there is low light, tourists and distractions, there are also pickpockets! (I learned this to my cost when one of the Spanish-speaking groups behind me helped themselves to a couple of items from my backpack). Overall, l’Oceanografic is worth the approx. 20-25 Euro admission cost. It is a little far from the city centre (although, I did walk to it). You should plan to spend most of a day there, as there is a lot to see and it is close to a few other attractions.close
