🌍 Three Magical Worlds to Explore
Poema del Mar is much more than just an aquarium — it’s a sensory adventure through nature, art, and ocean conservation. The space is divided into three uniquely themed zones:
1️⃣ The Jungle
Start your journey in a lush, tropical rainforest setting 🌿. Walk among giant freshwater fish, waterfalls, and exotic plant life. This vibrant area recreates the atmosphere of the world’s most biodiverse environments — a perfect introduction for kids to the wonders of nature.
2️⃣ The Reef
This colorful section showcases the beauty of coral ecosystems 🐠. Walk through a 360º tunnel completely surrounded by vibrant reef life, where children will be amazed by the variety of colors, fish, and shapes. It’s like snorkeling without getting wet — ideal for families with small children.
3️⃣ The Deep Ocean
Get ready for the most iconic part of the visit: the Deep Sea exhibit, featuring the largest curved aquarium window in the world — 36 meters long and 7 meters high! 😮
Here you’ll see sharks, rays, and other large marine species swimming right in front of your eyes. It’s an awe-inspiring moment for visitors of all ages — truly one of the highlights of any trip to Gran Canaria.
