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:

The crayfish

An endangered species

The species

The crayfish ( Austropotamobius pallipes ), also commonly known as the "white-legged crayfish", is one of the largest freshwater invertebrates present in our territory.
It is widespread throughout the western portion of the European continent, including Great Britain and Ireland. In Italy it is present along the entire peninsula.

It is absent in Sicily and Sardinia. It prefers clear waterways, with rocks and pebbles, with fresh and well-oxygenated waters.
It is an autochthonous species , that is, original and evolved in the places where it is found. Like all crustaceans, its body is covered by an "exoskeleton", that is, a very robust external skeleton, in this species of greenish-grey colour, which is replaced periodically through the moulting phenomenon, to allow the gradual growth of the animal.

It can reach 12 cm in length and 90 g in weight.

The Life Claw Project

DURATION: 2019 - 2024

Il progetto Life Claw
The project aims to conserve and improve the current population of freshwater crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes in the area of the north-western Apennines of the Italian regions Emilia-Romagna and Liguria, thanks to a long-term conservation program which involves the breeding and reintroduction of crayfish, the restoration of habitats and the containment of alien species, through capture and the creation of systems that prevent their spread.

Co-financed by the Life program of the European Union, the project is coordinated by the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines National Park Authority in partnership with Costa Edutainment, Management Authority for Parks and Biodiversity of Western Emilia, Municipality of Fontanigorda, Istituto Zooprophylattico Sperimentale delle Venezie , Antola Regional Natural Park, the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, University of Pavia.
