Xanadu Aquarium – Atlantis
The latest development in Spain is taking place in Madrid where the Xanadu Aquarium will open doors to its guests very soon. The Xanadu Aquarium also known as Atlantis Aquarium has a space of 50,000 square-foot. Consequently it will turn out to be the first interactive aquarium ever in Madrid. The development of the aquarium was a joint agreement between Parques Reunidos, Viacom International Media Networks and Ivanhoé Cambridge back in the year 2016. The aquarium is planning to open its doors in summer of 2018.
Among its main attractions there are the exhibition tank with sea turtles, the penguin exhibit with artificial snow and a 315,000 gallon aquarium featuring sharks stand out. In addition to this, visitors will have the opportunity to observe different species of fish that range from tropical and poisonous to jellyfish. An interesting particularity that Xanadu will possess, is the combination of a conventional aquarium scheme with lots of interactive and informational activities through its advanced classrooms, multiple “touch and explore” areas that combine rays and invertebrates’ aquariums and underwater cameras that will create an unforgettable experience.
