A tank dedicated to the green Turtles “Ari” and “Cuba” and one dedicated to kelp.
You can admire the stars of the Livorno Aquarium – the two green turtles “Ari” and “Cuba” swimming in the Indo-Pacific tank alongside zebra sharks and two Napoleon wrasse.
And also, jellyfish, moray eels, corals, starfish and much more!
The tank dedicated to the friendly seahorses.
On the first floor, a space dedicated to insects, amphibians, and reptiles, where you can admire the chameleon, a veritable anthill where leaf-cutting ants roam, and many other specimens.
From the first floor, you can access the panoramic terrace with views of the Livorno waterfront and the islands of the archipelago.
Touch Pool
Allows visitors to pet the stingrays, experiencing the thrill of direct contact with these animals and learning to care for their well-being by gently stroking them only on their backs, avoiding their eyes and spiracles.
Fish with Wings
The thrill of passing through a tunnel and experiencing numerous specimens flying overhead, including sea eagles and Salpe
Greek-Roman Archaeological Marine Area
A large tank, visible from four different angles, reproduces the typical seabed of the Tuscan Archipelago, contains the reproduction of a Roman shipwreck and hosts a variety of marine environments.
Here you can stop and watch the natural spectacle of the Mediterranean Sea reproduced in the tank, sitting on the steps of the stalls set up on one of the main sides.
You can admire specimens of snapper, sea bass, gilt-head bream, and grouper that constantly patrol the shallows reproduced in this tank.
Entrance Hall
The Information Point for all the information about the Pelagos Sanctuary, the beating heart of Biodiversity: species identification plates, informational brochures, and looping videos that also document the recovery activities of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta).
Panoramic Terrace
The tour concludes by accessing the splendid panoramic terrace from the first floor, overlooking the Livorno waterfront and the fascinating islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
The aquarium should be seen as a window into a world little known to us.
So don’t rush, but take your time exploring each individual tank, even the smallest ones, which generally contain the most important information.
