    Besides great examples of sea life, it is really well organized and arranged. You can easily find the way around and learn about the history of Pula, marine life presented there, and the environment awareness. And also, do not miss the view from the roof. Really amazing.

    I actually didn’t enjoy the aquarium. The vibe was very weird and it all looked very neglected and not taken care of. I felt like all aquariums were way too small for the amount and size of fish in there, I felt bad for the little guys. The descriptions/presentations of species could be way better and detailed. I was thirsty and there was a small vending machine that only had sugary drinks (no water), but even that actually didn’t work lol so I couldn’t buy the overpriced cans of sugar. I would not recommend you go out of your way to visit this aquarium, go if you’re in the area and you have some time to kill.

    The aquarium is located in a beautiful environment and space. Nice view from the roof. You walk through the corridors of the fortress on three floors - interesting for children. The ticket (you can also buy it online) is also valid for the second part of the aquarium, which is located a few meters away from the main aquarium (fort). In the surrounding area there are many walking paths and also a few taverns where you can have something to drink and eat. We parked a little lower below the aquarium in a larger parking lot - parking was free.

    (Translated by Google) Simply terrible, overcrowded, interior design at kindergarten level, absolutely unsuitable for children and the disabled and far too expensive, a visit is in no way worth it (Original) Einfach Schrecklich, überfüllt, Innenausstattung auf kindergartenniveau, absolut ungeeignet für Kinder und behinderte und viel zu teuer, ein Besuch lohnt sich in keinster Weise

    We liked the aquarium experience but disliked the setup. Some of the water tanks are very small for the amount of the animals in them. Just very bad use of the space. Nice aquarium in an old fortress but could be better.

    There were many more tanks than we were expecting! The whole aquarium is divided into two separate buildings, one with mostly Mediterranean exhibitions, the other with exotic species from all over the world. The tanks were always clean and the fish looked healthy. There's also a butterfly walk-in exhibit and a little playground for children. Somehow there weren't many people there, only a few larger groups, so we mostly had the whole building to ourselves. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting the Pula Aquarium to anyone looking for a pleasant afternoon.

    Great place to visit in Pula. The aquarium is based in the historic fortress built in 1886. The rooms have cool climate - you can go here and enjoy it although outside is really hot weather. Parking isn't problem - you can park the car right in front of the entrance. I recommend this.

    Definitely worth to visit a place. Many animal species, many aquariums. Nice, cold place. Not expensive, 2 persons 34€. You can spend there 2-3 hours at least. If you have claustrophobia, it will be a little hard in some rooms. Our 2 year old daughter was very happy there.

    I was blown away by the aquarium in Pula. More so because it was a random visit from the billboard ad we saw somewhere near the city entrance. We had one rainy day during our trip so we gave it a go. We were amazed at how clean the place is and the living conditions of the animals. Their habitats and the aquariums are built so well and it doesn’t feel like they are packed and crammed together. You can see everything from small planktons and cramps to the big turtles, sharks, and crocodiles. All of the exhibits are well documented so you can read up on the animals, their lifecycle, food, breeding, etc. Definitely worth visiting especially when traveling with kids.

    Amazing aquatic exhibits... great variety of sea life, fresh and salt water. Small, medium and large to very large tanks, plankton to mid-sized sharks. PLUS, this is a real military maritime history museum at the same time! Amazing. Buy tickets in advance... there were lines that we skipped!

    The ticket costs around 20 euro if I am right, and u can visit 2 whole big aquariums. U can see not only sea animals, but historical boats and many else. The parking place is close, and FREE. I REALLY recommend it, enjoyed every moment of it.

    The aquarium in Pula is truly an unforgettable experience. Not only did we have the opportunity to see the underwater world, but the spaces where the aquarium itself is located are amazing. Narrow corridors, history, and ship models enhance the whole experience. Even though we've seen similar aquariums in Budapest or Vienna, this one stands out due to its unique setting and is definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Thomas M. 3 years ago on Google
    It is a small but well taken care of aquarium. The building is an old fortress, so it was interesting to see the space used for marine life instead. The best part is walking up and sitting on the roof. We sat and watched the sunset, which was very beautiful.

  • 3/5 Tanya S. 3 years ago on Google
    The aquarium is a standard aquarium in my own personal opinion, I have been to quite a few and this Aquarium was missing an element of wow factor. It is excellent for kids because it is safe and it is really clean and the fish and animals are well taken care of. They also have a turtle rescue centre and a room where you can see young fish being incubated, so it is a good biology lesson for kids and adults alike.

  • 4/5 Engin Y. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sinisa S. 3 years ago on Google
    This aquarium is a place you must visit. It is situated "within the 130-year-old fort “Verudela”, once part of the powerful defence complex “Fortress Pula” built during the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy". Plenty of fish species on display including small sharks. They also have exotic lizzards, and great turtles. You can got to the top of the aquarium fortress and see the city and surrounding area in 15km range.

  • 5/5 Dewald du p. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to visit and spent 4-6 hours. Lots to see and learn. Great layout and easy to navigate around. All animals are healthy and happy. Staff is friendly and always willing to help. Shop to buy gifts and place to eat and enjoy the day. Walk away from shopping places and hotels. Beach is a walk distance and bicycle friendly around the place. Free parking at the aquarium.

    (Translated by Google) She was pleasantly surprised. Well-used space of the fort, which would otherwise, most likely, just collapse. A well-designed exhibition in which the visitor actively participates with all the senses. It is especially interesting for children because of the numerous interactive contents. All the best! (Original) Ostala ugodno iznenađena. Odlično iskorišten prostor utvrde koja bi inače, navjerojatnije, samo propadala. Odlično osmišljen postav u kojem posjetitelj aktivno sudjeluje svim osjetilima. Posebno je zanimljivo djeci zbog brojnih interaktivnih sadržaja. Sve pohvale!

    (Translated by Google) Nice facility, the aquarium is in an old fortress. However, there are many stairs and sloping, narrow corridors, so you should be able to walk. The pools are nicely done, but some are very small. The pools with the turtles 🐢 were unfortunately empty. The entrance fee is relatively high. (Original) Schöne Anlage, das Aquarium ist in einer alter Festung. Es gibt daher allerdings viele Treppen und schräge, enge Gänge, man sollte also gut zu Fuß sein. Die Becken sind schön gemacht, einige sind jedoch sehr klein. Die Becken mit den Schildkröten 🐢 waren leider leer. Der Eintrittspreis ist relativ hoch.

  • 3/5 J H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The aquarium is very nice to look at and children can learn a lot here, but it was not outstanding compared to other aquariums in the world. I think the price of 120kn is a bit overpriced for what is on offer. There were nice things there that I have never seen before, like the pool with the rays that are close enough to touch. Strollers and wheelchair users have very few opportunities to drive here because of stairs and narrow aisles. (Original) Das Aquarium ist ganz nett anzusehen und Kinder können hier einiges lernen, allerdings war es jetzt in Vergleich mit anderen Aquarien in der Welt nicht herausragend. Preis von 120kn finde ich ein bisschen überteuert für das was geboten wird. Es waren nette Dinge dabei, die ich so noch nicht erlebt habe, wie das Becken mit den Rochen, die zum Greifen nahe sind. Kinderwagen und Rollstuhlfahrer haben hier sehr wenig Möglichkeiten zu fahren, wegen Treppen und engen Gängen.

    (Translated by Google) There are many Fortresses in Croatia that are deteriorating and you cannot enter them. It's great that the Veredel Fortress has been adapted for use and an Aquarium has been made there. It's worth a look even if you've been to Sea Life more than once. On hot days it is definitely cooler there. Out of season there are no eateries, but you can watch the fish more calmly. It is worth visiting the playground and the viewpoint. The Aquarium itself is spread over three floors (Original) W Chorwacji jest wiele Twierdz ktore niszczeją i nie można do nich wejść. Wspaniale że Twierdzę Veredela zaadoptowana do użytku i zrobiono tam Akwarium. Warto tam zajrzeć nawet jeśli już się było nie raz w Sea Life. W upalne dni napewno jest tam chłodniej. Poza sezonem nie działają już punkty gastronomiczne ale za to spokojniej można się przyjrzeć rybą. Warto wstąpić na plac zabaw i punkt widokowy. Same Akwarium rozmieszczone jest na trzech piętrach

    Lovely! Worth the cost. Honestly a really enjoyable experience! It's in an old fortress so lots of history involved. Our girls ages 18, 14 and 8 loved it! We've seen many aquariums and yours is one of the best. Well done indeed!

  • 5/5 Mihai T. 3 years ago on Google
    Very calming and kid friendly, you can see a lot of fish types, crabs, tortoises, jellyfish, and even small caymans. The tanks are not big but there are plenty of them scattered throughout the old fortress. All in all, two hours in no hurry. I expected less to be honest.

    Paid 72 Euros for 2 adults and 4 kids,, This Aquarium has been put in a old bunker from World War 1 , It was raining today so we decided to do this, I can say it was worth the visit , my favourite was the octopus. Made a few videos and pics have a look.

    interesting place to visit the aquarium with fish in the old fort, nice interesting location to visit, great temperature inside, interesting combination of tunnel passages. I just didn't like the small bathtubs and the big turtles inside, which were certainly tight and not very comfortable.

  • 4/5 Botond B. 3 years ago on Google
    I liked that it is placed in an old fort which would have been neglected if it was not the host of the aquarium. There are pictures about the fort history on the walls as well as the fort's roof can be visited too which is a nice viewpoint of the area. The aquarium itself is nice, with many fishes and water habitat creatures.

  • 4/5 Łukasz W. 3 years ago on Google
    Location is super as adopted building is cool, also after visiting it you can go on the Beach or on the cliffs, or even Canyon. Aquarium itself was quite interesting. Lot of diferent spieces, all looked and presented in good way. Many information on the walls, some were interactive. Only price is quite high as 120 for adult, 90 for studenta and kids after 6 years old and 70 for kids between 3 and 6. Anyway we and our 4 year kid enjoyd it.

    (Translated by Google) One of the best excursion options in Pula. Every minute spent there was worth it. The fortress itself and the panorama that opens from it are wonderful, but inside there is also an exhibition presenting the life of the sea. My favorites were skates after the food. I never thought they would be able to do that! (Original) Az egyik legjobb kirándulása lehetőség Pulában. Minden ott töltött perc megérte. Maga az erőd is és az abból nyíló panoráma is csodás, de belül a tenger életvilágát bemutató kiállítás is nagyon érdekes. A kedvenceim a kaja után kunyeráló ráják voltak.

    (Translated by Google) Any recommendation to visit (I was lucky because it was a New Year's discount so the price is more affordable) because it is a really informative and rich aquarium. An additional charm is the fortress in which it is located. Very educational for both adults and children. Be sure to see if you are in Pula and set aside at least 2-3 hours. (Original) Svaka preporuka za posjet (imala sam sreću jer je bio novogodišnji popust pa je cijena pristupačnija) jer je zaista sadržajan i bogat akvarij. Dodatnu čar čini tvrđava u kojoj je smješten. Vrlo edukativno i za odrasle i za djecu. Obavezno vidjeti ako ste u Puli i odvojite si barem 2-3 sata.

    It was a beautiful experience, there are a lot of animals, the reptiles on the upper level are immensely photogenic and friendly. The price isn't too bad and the look of an old fort with a lot of atmospheric, darkened rooms filled with aquariums is phenomenal. Will definitely go again if/when I find myself in Pula.

    A bit overpriced in my opinion. The location was cool - inside the old fortress. But rooms inside were rather small and people in them a lot. There were animals to see but nothing spetacular.

    A lovely place to visit if you're in the area.

    A great experience for the whole family! It is situated in an old fortress, and it spans on three floors. Here you can see various endangered species, and many types of fish, underwater creatures, and even some reptiles and amphibians (xolotl, for example). The whole tour can take up to two hours, and it's very educational. The aquarium has a lot of panels and infographics throughout, so you can learn a lot of new stuff. You can pay for the tickets, souvenirs, and coffee/food with credit card. If you like nature, don't miss this! 🦈

    Nice but quite expensive aquarium. They asked for 120kuna per person, which is quite much for aquarium view. Building itself is something like defencw bastipn from 1.world war and history of this bastion is explained inside in aquarium. Seems to be something betwren museum and aquarium. Parking is quite interesting also, there is free parking place near aquarium , but only in case , that somedy will open ramp aprox. 500m behind , I still dod not understand system there. Other free parking place is about 400m far away.

    Great place to learn about marine animals, plenty of species of fish and other animals. Free audio guide. Beautiful location and reasonable price. Highly recommended for families.

    Informative place but rather small. There were couple of very narrow and almost oppressive corridors but the good news is that you don't need to go to them if not want to. You can make the tour without them. The buildings history is intresting being an old fortress.

    Very nice combination of old fort with aquarium. Some of the outside located models were damaged but the inside located aquariums and info boards were really cool. Kids loved the trip, fishes and interior of the Fort. Perfect for rainy day family trip!

    Great place to learn about marine life and environmental awareness. There is a nice variation of species to see. There is even a nice part with butterflies and a rooftop with a view. A bit expensive but worth visiting.

    Beautiful displays of various sea creatures and much more. Also with great view from the top (which is sadly not maintained at all) of the fortress. In season you have to come very early otherwise you will stuck in long long queue.

    A very nice Aquarium. Plenty exhibits of many fish in the sea. The location is special, being an old fortress. This gives a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, it can get uncomfortable when crowded. Overall, a nice experience 😊

  • 4/5 Allan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite nice place. The aesthetic of the old fort definitely is a bonus to the atmosphere. Some of the exhibits were lacking due to the opening of the new area. The price seems a bit steep though.

    Despite it is work in progress, moving some species from one to other location, I was pleasantly surprised, amazing sea life seen up close. Recommended visit! BTW: just, please, prepare your children to lower the volume inside, as it is quite annoying to listen to children screaming by aquariums.

    Huge aquarium with three floors and panorama of the sea at the top. There is a wheelchair lift so it's also available for disabled. Lots of aquarius connected with military history and exhibits of sea ship models, weapons, and uniforms. It is that place where you just have to visit because it is hard to describe. You can buy tickets online and make use of the fast track but in the beginning of June there was no queue to wait. Remember to visit second part of aquaria closer to the parking and bar.

    Actually, I am very skeptical about commercially managed livestock. However, I am very satisfied with this aquarium, because here is not only species knowledge, but also history and climate change explained in detail for young and old. I was here with my girlfriend for 4 hours and we had a great, educational stay. Even if the entrance fee seems expensive at first, it is worth every euro, because you see where the money is invested! (turtle rescue) I recommend Aquarium Pula!

    Very nice aquarium with additional exotic area since this years August. A ideal place to go with kids in case of bad weather. Many different fishes and creatures of the sea can be explored. We visited it as a family and will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Jelena B. 7 months ago on Google
    Wonderful aquarium in a wonderful location. The building of the aquarium is an old citadel which and the mix of marine life with marine military history only adds to the whole experience.

    A very interesting aquarium being based in a converted fort. It's very atmospheric and also nice and cool ! Not a massive place but there's a lot of history here too with many naval historical exhibits. Well worth a visit if you're nearby.

    The aquarium is comprised of two separate buildings, one is located in an old castle, so you get to observe history and the sealife. The other is a non-descript building. Ironically, the bland building is the most exciting part. There are baby sharks swimming in a open top tank, there are huge black tip sharks and sting rays, turtles you can touch, crocodiles you can't touch (luckily). There are plenty of toilets and the staff are friendly. It has a cute gift shop with cuddly toy versions of most of the animals you will come across. I'm 28 years old but I couldn't resist a little black tip shark as the prices are reasonable. The only reason for the lack of a star is because you have to walk quite a distance from the bus stop, by-passing the aquarium building to go to the ticket office. If you are on a tight schedule like we were, this is inconvenient. We almost skipped the best part of the aquarium because the first building you go into is a little boring... it's okay if you like small fish and jellyfish but it's mostly just history about the castle.

    Nice exbition. You can take your time and read about all the fish. They also have an option of audio guide. Alongside aquariums, there is also a historical exhibition about the fort. I especially liked the sea turtles rehabilitation programme. You can buy tickets online and enter through priority line. Overall, pleasant experience and would recommend it.

    Nice aquarium that was converted from a fort, great place to take the kids. There is a very steep tunnel to get to the lower exhibits so just be careful if you have a stroller or any wheels.
