FAQ

  • The entrance ticket to the Genoa Aquarium, like the tickets for all the other structures included in the AcquarioVillage (The City of Children and Teens, Bigo and Biosphere), combined included, ARE NOT NOMINAL.
    For tickets purchased online, the name that appears on them is that of the person who made the purchase, or the gift recipient.
    In case of impossibility to carry out the visit, the tickets can therefore be transferred to third parties.
  • The FIXED DATE ticket requires, at the time of purchase, the reservation of the date/time slot chosen to carry out the visit. Date and time slot are binding and must be respected.
    The FLEXI ticket is valid for one year from the date of purchase, does not require immediate booking and gives the possibility of making a date/time slot change, avoiding the loss of the ticket in the event of inconveniences.
  • If you have purchased a FIXED DATE ticket, we are sorry but, as per the conditions of sale, this is not possible.
    If you have purchased an OPEN FLEXI ticket, you can change the date/time slot of the visit once, within 2 hours of the chosen entry time, at the following link: ?
  • Disabled people with documentation certifying their disability are entitled to a discounted fare ("reduced" ticket).
    The companion of the 100% disabled person is entitled to free entry; in case of online purchase, the companion must go to the cash desk to collect the free ticket, upon presentation of the above-mentioned certification.
    In the case of disabled people aged between 4 and 12, we recommend purchasing the "child" ticket, which is cheaper than the "reduced" ticket.
  • Sorry, no animals are allowed inside the Genoa Aquarium with the exception of guide dogs for blind people.
    For information about the dog sitting service in the area, we suggest you contact the IAT (Tourist Reception Information) Porto Antico. (tel.: 010.5572903 - email:

Extraordinary and delicate

The seahorses of the Mar Piccolo of Taranto

Progetto di conservazione
The Aquarium of Genoa is involved in a seahorse conservation project in the area of the "Mar Piccolo" regional natural park of Taranto, in collaboration with the Municipality of Taranto, the National Research Council and the University of Bari .
The Mar Piccolo of Taranto, until recently, hosted one of the largest populations of seahorses in the Mediterranean Sea. Since 2016, their density has decreased by around 90% in the area due to environmental degradation and intensive fishing.

To help the population of Taranto seahorses survive, we are thinking about creating protection areas and reinforcing actions that involve the breeding of some specimens of the seahorse Hippocampus guttulatus for reproductive purposes.
The new born will be raised at the Genoa Aquarium until they reach sub-adult size and then introduced into the Mar Piccolo of Taranto, the place of origin of the parents, in suitable perimetered and controlled areas, where they will be monitored for two years. These areas can act as a reservoir for the repopulation of neighboring areas
