Skip the line to Seville Aquarium with a 90-minute visit through Magellan’s themed route, including a 9-meter shark tank and axolotl.
“The layout of the aquarium is great and the walk through flows perfectly. The aquarium wasn’t overly busy when we arrived at 4:30pm and we spent around 75 minutes wandering around. A nice place to visit and worth the money.”
Seville Museum of Illusions ticket with photo tricks, rotating rooms, a vortex tunnel, holograms, and puzzles for families.
“Had a fun time here. I especially loved the vortex, oh how I laughed and laughed and laughed. I must have gone through 7 times, pure escapism. It's a quirky way to get out of the city heat for an hour or so. Staff are super friendly and helpful and are always on hand to take photos or answer questions. It brings out the inner child and I highly recommend it, it's a period of time not to take yourself or life too seriously and be silly and curious. As a solo traveller I did not get the full benefit from this place. I would recommend going with someone to…”

Seville Aquarium admission ticket with skip-the-line entry, five marine zones, a 9m shark tank, and Magellan-themed exhibits.
“Such a hidden gem! While I’m an adult and don’t have children I still love sea life! With that said I’ve visited a number of aquarium and leaned new things visiting the Seville Aquarium. Provided a great variation of sea and water life, photo opts and a nice cool down to the toasty out doors Seville has to offer. Also, the walk to/from through the Mona Lisa park makes for an added bonus to the trip.”
