The Aquarium has become the most visited attraction in the city and has received over 12 million visitors ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Its essential aims from the very beginning have been an educational ambition and a wish to increase awareness of environmental issues. The aquarium has undergone different remodellings over the course of its history, but its principles have always remained the same.<\/p>\n<p>In 1998, the aquarium underwent its \u2013perhaps- most significant remodelling, one that turned it into a reference in the Basque Country and Spain. The Aquarium was equipped with the ultimate technology, creating outstanding facilities where its huge pool especially stands out above everything else: it has a capacity of 1.800.000 litres, and a transparent tunnel goes through the water allowing us to walk across the tank from one side to the other.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"san-sebastian-aquarium-is-divided-into-three-sections\">San Sebasti\u00e1n Aquarium is divided into three sections:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>-Oceanario:<\/strong> the huge pool we have already mentioned. It measures 30 metres long and 16 metres wide, and it has a tunnel going through it which makes us feel as if we were inside the pool when we go across.<br \/>\n<strong>-Thematic aquariums:<\/strong> they are different aquariums which gather a diversity of species depending on its fauna and origin. Here, we can admire fish from all over the world.<br \/>\n<strong>-Tactile aquariums:<\/strong> this section will delight the little ones in the family. These aquariums are open so we can touch diverse marine species such as sea urchins and starfish, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Guided visits are available for all those who prefer them. The price of a guided visit is 50 euros, Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Sebastian Aquarium has the prestigious honor of being the first natural science museum that was founded in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[10],"class_list":{"0":"post-117","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-museums","8":"tag-attractions","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
