Tickets for the Aquarium of Genoa

Every ticket here is for a day and a time slot at the Aquarium, because the Aquarium asks everyone to book one. If you only want the Aquarium, choose the first ticket. If you want more in the same day, pick one that adds the Galata Maritime Museum, the City of Children or the Museum of the Impossible. Below the tickets you will find the Biosphere and the Bigo lift, two short stops right beside the Aquarium.
