Zaragoza River Aquarium
Acuario Fluvial de Zaragoza
One of Europe's largest freshwater aquariums, with exhibits arranged by five river basins: the Nile, Mekong, Amazon, Darling and Ebro.
The aquarium was one of the theme pavilions of the 2008 Expo. It houses around 300 species and more than 5,000 freshwater fish, as well as amphibians and reptiles. A large central tank simulates a 'world of rivers', where you can see arapaima, crocodiles, otters and more. It is ideal for families with children, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours. Adult admission is about 18 euros. The aquarium is located within the Expo site, reachable by bus or tram followed by a short walk.
