Upon exiting the pool, a gel for hand disinfection will be provided.
Since you will be accessing spaces kept at low temperatures, it is essential to equip yourself with comfortable and appropriate clothing.
At the end of the experience, you can complete the visit to the Aquarium freely, during normal opening hours.
