Poema del Mar Aquarium Tickets in Gran Canaria

The reason to pre-book this exact SKU is straightforward: it is a simple admission ticket with skip-the-line entry to one of Gran Canaria’s most distinctive family and city-break attractions. Inside, the route is organised around three main environments — Jungle, Tropical and Deep Ocean — covering 35 marine and freshwater ecosystems. The official aquarium currently reports more than 550 animal species, around nine million litres of water and over 2,000 plant specimens, so this is much more than a small city aquarium. It also works well logistically if you are staying near Santa Catalina or visiting Las Palmas before or after a cruise.

Poema del Mar is best treated as a dedicated 2–3 hour attraction rather than a quick add-on between city sights. The strongest part is the Deep Ocean section, where the aquarium’s 36-metre curved window, viewing dome and portholes give several perspectives on sharks, rays, turtles and large schooling fish. For families, rainy or cloudy days, cruise passengers and travellers based in Las Palmas, the location makes this one of the easiest substantial attractions to fit into a city itinerary. The main tradeoff is ticket flexibility: the current Tiqets SKU is nonrefundable and cannot be rescheduled, so book only once your Las Palmas day is reasonably fixed.

Best for families, marine-life enthusiasts, cruise passengers, Las Palmas city-break visitors and travellers looking for a weather-independent attraction. It is especially convenient from Santa Catalina, Puerto-Canteras and the northern Las Canteras area because the aquarium sits at Sanapú Dock beside the harbour. The current Tiqets product is wheelchair accessible. It also suits visitors who prefer self-guided attractions, as no live guide is included or required.

Skip this ticket if you need a flexible cancellation policy: the current Tiqets SKU is nonrefundable and rescheduling is not possible. It may also be poor value if you only have a very short stop in Las Palmas and cannot allow enough time to see the three main zones without rushing. Food, drinks and transport to the aquarium are not included. If your main goal is a broader guided Gran Canaria sightseeing day rather than the aquarium itself, choose an island or city tour instead of using Poema del Mar as the whole itinerary.

Arrive at Poema del Mar at Sanapú Dock in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and show the smartphone ticket directly at the turnstile. The current official opening hours are 09:30–17:30 every day of the year; the aquarium’s ticketing site currently recommends allowing around 2–3 hours.

The visit moves through three principal environments. Jungle focuses on freshwater and tropical habitats, including areas inspired by the Amazon and African river systems. Tropical shifts to reefs, mangroves, corals, jellyfish, seahorses and other warm-water ecosystems.

Deep Ocean is the finale and the strongest reason not to rush the route. The official aquarium highlights its 36-metre curved viewing window plus a 360-degree viewing dome and portholes. Current species shown in the Deep Sea area include several shark species, rays, loggerhead turtles and large bony fish.

This ticket is admission-only. Transport to the aquarium, food and drinks are excluded. The venue has restaurant and snack-bar facilities, but purchases there are separate from this ticket.

The current Fly To Canarias/Tiqets price is €29. The ticket includes aquarium entrance and skip-the-line access; transport, food and drinks are excluded.

Poema del Mar is at Sanapú Dock in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, close to Santa Catalina and the cruise-port area. Tiqets currently suggests bus line 328 to Santa Catalina; other city and regional routes also serve the surrounding district, so check your exact journey before travel.

The official aquarium is open daily from 09:30 to 17:30, including public holidays. Allow around 2–3 hours if you want to see the route without rushing.

The current Tiqets ticket is nonrefundable and cannot be rescheduled. Check the date carefully before completing checkout.

The aquarium is wheelchair accessible. Flash photography is prohibited throughout the aquarium, and professional photographic equipment requires prior permission. Pets are not allowed. Eating is restricted to designated restaurant and snack-bar areas.

Some exhibits or areas may occasionally close for technical, safety, operational or animal-welfare reasons; the aquarium’s current visitor rules state that such closures do not automatically entitle visitors to a refund or date change.

Choose Poema del Mar ID103 when the aquarium itself is the main attraction and you want a simple €29 admission ticket in Las Palmas. It should not compete with ID70, the full-day Gran Canaria tour from Tenerife: ID70 bundles ferry travel, Poema del Mar, Vegueta, Arehucas Distillery, a guide and roundtrip transport, so it targets travellers staying on Tenerife who want a cross-island day trip. ID103 targets visitors already on Gran Canaria or in Las Palmas who want direct aquarium tickets. For a Las Palmas sightseeing day, the hop-on hop-off bus is a complementary city-transport product rather than a substitute for the aquarium.

This activity is non-refundable.
