One ticket for the Aquarium of Genoa and for La Città dei Bambini e dei Ragazzi, over 3,000 square meters of play built around the five senses. This is for you if you are traveling with children and want to alternate the tanks with a space where they can touch and try things.
The ticket includes two entries: the Aquarium of Genoa and La Città dei Bambini e dei Ragazzi. The Città, according to the listing, has over 3,000 square metres dedicated to play and five rooms, one for each sense: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. There is no mandatory route: children move from one room to another as they wish. Prices start from $46 per person (GetYourGuide, October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
The day and time of the booking apply to the Città dei Bambini, not to the Aquarium. The listing makes it mandatory to book the Aquarium time slot separately on ticket.acquariodigenova.it/biglietti-open, and warns that without a correct time slot, entry is not guaranteed.
The official fixed-date ticket starts from 26 euros online for an adult: the price is dynamic, ranges from 26 to 34 euros and changes with the season, date, time slot and demand (the Aquarium's slogan is «the earlier you buy, the less you pay»). At the ticket desk it costs 34 euros. The chosen date and time slot are binding and that ticket is non-refundable; Open Flexi costs 38 euros and allows one date change. They are sold by acquariodigenova.it and the ticket desks at the entrance. Children aged 4 to 12 pay from 16 to 25 euros and children up to 3 years enter for free. The Aquarium also sells the official combined ticket Aquarium plus Città dei Bambini for 42 euros for an adult, and AcquarioVillage for 51 euros, which adds Bigo and Biosfera.
Choose day and time: according to the listing, they apply to La Città dei Bambini e dei Ragazzi.
Book the Aquarium half-hour on ticket.acquariodigenova.it/biglietti-open. The listing makes it mandatory: without it, entry is not guaranteed.
The route is barrier-free, so suitable for pushchairs. In the Biodiversity Pavilion there is the touch pool, where you can stroke the rays following the panel instructions.
Sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch: each room explores one with interactive experiences. You move around freely, with no fixed order.
At the Aquarium there is a baby corner with 6 toilets and changing tables, and on the deck of the Nave Blu a picnic area for packed lunches.
★★★★★Wonderful experiences. Our daughter was fascinated by the aquarium and also had a lot of fun at the Città dei Bambini (but we parents really liked it too!).
★★★★★[...] Splendid aquarium, visited several times in the last 20 years but always magical, and not just for the little ones. The Città dei Bambini, on the other hand, was a very pleasant discovery. I think it is perfect for those, like us, who have children between 2 and 10 years old. Overall an excellent experience.
★★★★★It was very nice and well organised. Our children had a great time.
★★★★★A beautiful day in a place designed for children and to awaken the child within us.
