Aquarium River of Zaragoza, Public aquarium in Zaragoza, Spain.
The Aquarium River of Zaragoza is a public facility housing over 5 million liters of water and more than 300 freshwater species. The tanks are organized by river regions and display the typical inhabitants of these waters.
The facility was created in 2008 as part of the Zaragoza International Exhibition and was originally designed as a temporary pavilion. It was later converted into a permanent educational and recreational center.
The aquarium showcases habitats from the Nile, Mekong, Amazon, Murray-Darling, and Ebro rivers with their distinct animal and plant life. Visitors can observe how river ecosystems function differently around the world.
The facility is located in an easily accessible area and features visitor zones on multiple levels, allowing you to explore the different river systems progressively. Most visitors need about 2 to 3 hours to fully explore the exhibitions.
The facility houses Europe's largest collection of freshwater species, including arapaimas, sturgeons, anacondas, and piranhas, rarely seen together in other facilities. This concentration of large and unusual freshwater animals makes it a place that nature-loving visitors often overlook.
