Palma Aquarium
A large aquarium with one of Europe's deepest shark tanks, themed around Mediterranean marine ecosystems.
Palma Aquarium is near Can Pastilla beach on the eastern edge of the city. It has about 50 tanks and more than 700 marine species, with a focus on Mediterranean species. It also features a tropical coral reef and a 'Big Blue' shark tank about 8.5 meters deep, where you can watch sharks through a huge viewing window and tunnel. There is an outdoor jungle garden and a children's play area, plus paid activities such as shark diving. Admission is about 25–30 euros, and buying online is cheaper. It's about 10 minutes by car from the airport, and from central Palma you can take bus 15 or 23.
