A journey to feel, understand and discover
Feel like a shark
Discover, by becoming a shark, how these animals perceive the world through touch, sight, smell and taste.
Evolve like a shark
Travel back in time and discover animals with millions of years of history. Older than dinosaurs, they have developed extraordinary abilities that still amaze us today and even inspire technological advances.
The smallest ones
Discover the fascinating reproductive cycle of oviparous sharks and, through play, learn which species each type of egg belongs to. You’ll also be able to observe the development of embryos from different shark species in the tanks in this area.
Feeding like a shark
From the main Oceanarium viewing area (home to the deepest shark tank in the Iberian Peninsula), you’ll discover how sharks feed.
Learn how their teeth vary depending on their diet and how they are constantly growing and being replaced.
You’ll also have the opportunity to see a life-size megalodon jaw (a nearly 3-meter replica).

The shark’s dressing room

Care for the ocean like a shark
In the mangrove area, you’ll learn about shark conservation projects carried out both in Spain and at the Acuario de Sevilla.
You can also interact with different games that will help you understand the importance of sharks in the ecosystem and how we can contribute to their protection.
