Florence Tickets Acquario Di Livorno Plan Your Visit

Plan Your Visit to Acquario di Livorno

A little planning goes a long way at Acquario di Livorno, from knowing how the opening calendar works to what to expect once you’re inside this restored seafront aquarium. Here’s what you need to plan your visit.

Opening Hours

Opening Hours:

Daily Hours: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Last Admission: 5:00 PM (one hour before closing)
Plan around a seasonal calendar rather than a single fixed schedule.

The aquarium opens daily to the public through the main season. During the school term, public opening generally narrows to weekends and public holidays, since weekdays are largely booked out for school and group visits.

Because daily numbers are capped, booking online ahead of your visit is worth doing.

Visitor Guidelines

Photography: Personal photography without flash is welcome; flash and filming with camera lights aren’t permitted near the tanks.

Food and Drink: Food and drinks aren’t allowed inside the exhibition areas, though the adjoining Surfer Joe’s Diner is right next door for a meal.

Pets: Only small dogs carried or kept in a carrier are permitted inside.

Tickets: Tickets are single-entry, so re-entry on the same day isn’t possible once you’ve left.
