Which Oceanogràfic Valencia ticket should you choose?
One aquarium. Three iconic buildings. How much of Valencia is on your list?
The first decision is simple: just the aquarium, or a ticket that adds another attraction. Everything else comes down to how you want to spend your time.
Choose standard Oceanogràfic admission for the marine habitats, underwater tunnel and scheduled dolphin presentations. Allow around 3-4 hours for a typical visit, and longer if you like taking your time.

What to know before booking Oceanogràfic Valencia tickets
Six little checks. A lot fewer surprises.
The aquarium is the easy part. It's the entry times, extra activities and combo schedules that deserve a closer look before checkout.
1. Can you enter whenever you arrive?
Not before your selected Oceanogràfic entry time. The start time you choose is the earliest permitted admission time, and you can generally stay until the aquarium closes that day.
Keep in mind: Don't choose an evening slot if you still want several hours for habitats and the dolphin presentation.
2. Does booking online mean no queues at all?
No. Booking ahead can save you the ticket-office queue, but ticket validation, access checks and busy exhibition areas may still involve waiting.
Keep in mind: “Skip the ticket line” is not the same as instant entry everywhere.
3. Can you count on a dolphin presentation?
A scheduled dolphin presentation is included with admission, but sessions vary by day and can change. Check the live programme and arrive around 30 minutes early.
Keep in mind: Aquarium admission doesn't reserve a specific presentation seat or session.
4. Can you visit the three City of Arts and Sciences attractions on different days?
Some combined tickets allow one, two or three consecutive visit days. The combo you select may have its own date and time rules.
Keep in mind: Check each venue's scheduled date and the Hemisfèric film time on your actual voucher.
5. Can you leave Oceanogràfic and come back?
Not as a general rule for standalone admission. Oceanogràfic allows re-entry in limited circumstances, including qualifying same-day combinations with another City of Arts and Sciences venue.
Keep in mind: Ask at the aquarium Information Point and obtain any required wristband before leaving. Don't plan a lunch break outside without checking.
6. Booking for children or planning paid extras?
Children aged 0–3 enter free with proof of age; the child ticket category is 4–12. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. The 4D cinema and specialist experiences have their own age restrictions and extra charges.
Keep in mind: Read the selected ticket's cancellation conditions before paying.
Plan your visit to Oceanogràfic Valencia
The ocean doesn't run on one timetable.
Oceanogràfic's opening and closing hours vary by date and season. Check the calendar for your visit, allow around 3–4 hours for the aquarium, and remember that the ticket office closes one hour before the park.
The sharks are easy to find. Once you know where to go.
