Audio Guide of San Sebastián Aquarium

The San Sebastián Aquarium usually opens at different times depending on the season. I recommend always checking the official website so there are no surprises. That way, you can make sure to arrive right when it opens and make the most of your visit. You can see the updated opening hours here: San Sebastián Aquarium Opening Hours.

The general adult admission price is around €14, and they also offer reduced rates for children, seniors, and groups. Yes, online purchase is recommended, and you can buy tickets online to avoid lines. Take a look at their page here: San Sebastián Aquarium Rates and Tickets. That way, you can secure your spot.

To enjoy the San Sebastián Aquarium without rushing and see all the species, including the impressive 360-degree tunnel, I recommend setting aside at least 1.5 to 2 hours. If you are visiting with children, perhaps a little more. That gives them time to be amazed by everything.

Absolutely. The San Sebastián Aquarium is not just an aquarium; it is part of the city’s maritime history. Founded in 1928, it was one of the first oceanographic museums in Spain and played a key role in researching and sharing knowledge about the richness of the Bay of Biscay. It is a symbol of San Sebastián’s connection to the sea.

If you want to enjoy the experience to the fullest, I recommend visiting the Aquarium early in the morning or late in the afternoon. As for the time of year, the low season (autumn and winter, avoiding holidays) is usually quieter. That way, the corridors and tunnel will feel more your own.

Yes, the San Sebastián Aquarium is designed to be accessible. It has elevators and ramps to make the visit easier for people with reduced mobility and for wheelchair users or visitors with baby strollers. You can check more details about accessibility or contact them directly with any questions at +34 943 44 00 99.

Of course. The Aquarium is in a prime location next to the harbor. Right beside it, you have Mount Urgull with Mota Castle, and very close by, the Old Town with its delicious pintxos. You can also take a walk along Paseo Nuevo toward the Comb of the Wind sculptures beyond the bay. You will have plenty of options.

My best advice is: buy your tickets online to avoid lines, arrive early if you want to avoid crowds, and do not miss the 360-degree tunnel—it is spectacular. Also, keep an eye on the animal feeding times, as they are usually a great show. And of course, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to call them at +34 943 44 00 99.
