One of these modern structures is the L Oceanografic or the Aquarium in Valencia, Spain, which opened on February 14 of Here are the 10 things that you should know about this particular Aquarium. The design of the structure was made by the architect Felix Candela. He also had some help from Carlos Lazaro and Alberto Domingo who are both structural engineers. The whole area is divided into 10 great sections which usually are referring to the different marine areas. Aside from these sections, there are also restaurants and shops that you can go to in order to eat or buy souvenirs. There are also offices in this place, such as the Education and Research building. The water that are present in the aquarium is pumped from the La Malva-Rosa beach. The necessary requirements for this scenario has been passed. The sections that you can visit include the Upper Shore, the Mid Shore, the Touching Pool and others. Aside from that, there are

2 also exhibitions of various marine animals such as the Arctic exhibitions where walruses and beluga whales are present, the Atlantic exhibitions which stars Humboldt penguins, the Islands where you can see several colonies of Patagonian sea lions, and the exhibition of seals that take place in the Temperate and Tropical section.

Underwater restaurant In the centre of the Park we find the Aquarium's flagship building, with its unique lily-shaped roof designed by Felix Candela. The lower floor houses a large aquarium that is visible on all sides. The upper floor of the building, like an island, is surrounded by a lake and acts as a hub that connects the different themed buildings. There is a colony of flamingos on an island near the Underwater Restaurant. This incomparable setting allows visitors to observe the breeding areas of these spectacular-looking birds. Dolphinarium Exhibition The dolphinarium of the Oceanography, with a total of five pools, is the largest of its kind in Europe. Here one may sit back and observe the magnificent dolphins display their ability and intelligence during a stunning exhibition. The dolphinarium contains some 23 million liters of water, it can seat 2,210 people. The pools hold mules dolphins, specie belonging to the group of the cetacean with teeth or odontocete cetaceans. Check timetables in the information desk of the Oceanográfico, located in the floor-1 of the Building of Access. Restaurants Underwater Restaurant Located in the centre of the lake, it is undoubtedly Oceanogràfic's most emblematic restaurant. Consisting of two levels, the upper level is displayed like an island in the middle of the lake, while the lower level is surrounded throughout its perimeter by a grand aquarium. The restaurant offers a refined and elaborate cuisine with a traditional Valencian gastronomy. Oceans Restaurant It has an interior dining-room and a large outdoor terrace with wonderful views over the central lake. La Lonja Restaurant A spacious self-service with a dining room for 350 persons. Its outdoor terrace is surrounded by attractive garden. The total area of L Oceanografic or the Aquarium in Valencia is about 110,000 square meters or 1,200,000 square feet. Its total water capacity of about 42,000,000 liters makes it the largest

4 structure of its kind in the whole of Europe. The water capacity actually includes the dolphinarium which measures up to 26,000,000 liters as well as the ocean tank which measures 7,000,000 liters. There are many types of marine animals that can be found in the Aquarium. The total number of animals that are present in the place is about 45,000. Such animals belong to about 500 various kinds species. These species include beluga whales, sharks, dolphins, penguins, walruses, sea lions, sea turtles, fish, reptiles, and even fish, among others. The nine underwater towers in the Aquarium are the habitats of these animals. If you want to just relax, you can go to the Dolphinarium Exhibition where you can look at some dolphins perform activities that showcase their intelligence and abilities. The seating capacity of the said dolphinarium is about 2,210 individuals. There is also a pool where you can find mules dolphins. The exhibition starts at various times so you have to check with the Information Desk with regards to the timetable. There is also an underwater auditorium which resembles the Red Sea. This area is a large room with a roof that takes the shape of a pilgrim shell. The seating capacity of the Red Sea Underwater Auditorium is about 440 people. Aside from just being able to sit there, you can also watch how the animals that live inside the auditorium are fed by several divers. There is also an underwater restaurant where you can eat a wide variety of foods, especially the delicacies of Valencia, when you feel hungry from all the sights that you have visited within the complex. The shape of the roof of this building got its inspiration from a lily. This restaurant has two floors. A grand aquarium surrounds the lower floor while the upper floor is designed like an island located at the middle of a big lake. Oceans Restaurant and La Jonja Restaurant are also open for service.

Oceanogràphic approximately 4 hours, depending on your level of interest and motivation. Sessions at the Hemisfèric generally last about minutes. The visit to the entire complex can be done in a single day, but to enjoy a more relaxed visit we suggest to take two or three days. The City of Arts and Sciences is open 365 days of the year. The Museum and the Oceanogràfic both open to the public at 10:00 and you can then visit at any time you like. At the entrance building to the Oceanogràfic, next to the information point, we have a leftluggage service where you can leave your luggage or other belongings. It costs 2 per day and no pre-booking is required. At the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum we have a free cloakroom service but it does not accept luggage or similar items. We hold several dolphin exhibition sessions a day. However, their times are subject to change due to large number of people or weather conditions. For this reason, we prefer that visitors ask at the Information Desk in the Entrance Building on the day of their visit, in order to avoid any confusion. Marine environment and fauna conservation activities The Oceanografico at the City of the Arts and Sciences was not only designed as a leisure and entertainment project, but also to educate and carry out research on marine sciences and to make people more aware of the need to conserve biodiversity. The great

7 size of the aquariums, the absence of visual barriers and special features such as the tunnels and domes allow visitors to penetrate the submarine world. At the Oceanogràfic, wich has two research laboratories devoted to the conservation and recuperation of marine species, we develop scientific and educational programes in line with the philosophy of the most modern and important aquariums in the world. The park also contains the Education and Research building, the entrance building and different catering and merchandising facilities. The Aquarium is organised on two levels, an upper level with the open-air exhibitions and a lower level housing all the aquariums. A large Central Lake, recreating a sea with its coasts and islands, envelops all the themed buildings. These buildings are interconnected by wooden walkways giving access to the different aquarium areas. Oceanographic Facilities The Oceanographic at the City of the Arts and Sciences invites you to discover a real marine park that includes the main seas and oceans of the planet. With a surface area of 110,000 m 2 and 42 million litres of water, it is the largest aquarium in Europe. The designs of the spectacular roofs, the posthumous work of the architect Félix Candela, combine with the latest knowledge of marine flora and fauna. L'Oceanogràfic has two structures with the trademark style of this great architect. They are the park's flagship buildings, whose concrete roofs look like a water lilies. The park consists of two very different scenarios: the installations for fish and invertebrates that show different marine ecosystems, and the areas housing marine mammals. During the visit and throughout the tour, visitors can get close to the behaviour and lifestyles of over 45,000 examples of 500 different species.
