Really cool experience. Cheap tickets. Not massive, but so many unique fish to see. They are also in nice big tanks. Infographics showing all the fish you can view in each tank. Loved it! Nearby museum is cool too.

Acquario davvero carino, sono presenti diverse specie di pesci e l'atmosfera è piacevole e immersiva

Acuario pequeño, con variedad de peces. Si no tienes planes en Nápoles centro, puede ser una buena opción.
