Aquaprotectors is one of the most original interactive experiences at L’Aquàrium de Barcelona.
Designed for children, young people and families, this engaging space combines digital creativity with play to explore the marine world in a completely new way.
Technology does more than entertain—it helps visitors understand marine biodiversity and discover the importance of protecting ocean ecosystems through active participation.
Create Your Own Marine Species and Bring It to Life
The adventure begins at interactive drawing stations, where you can design your own fish by choosing its shape, colours and patterns.
Give your creation a name, then watch it come to life in a spectacular virtual ocean with a single touch.
The Challenge: Fighting Marine Pollution
The virtual ocean is more than just a playground—it reflects the real challenges facing our seas.
In the second part of the experience, visitors take part in an augmented reality challenge where they must identify and remove litter and plastic waste from the seabed.
This interactive activity highlights one of today’s greatest environmental issues: plastic pollution.
Through play, children discover how small everyday actions can make a positive difference for marine life and help protect ocean ecosystems.
The Power of Play to Inspire Future Ocean Guardians
Aquaprotectors demonstrates how technology can become a powerful educational tool, encouraging visitors to actively explore and understand the marine environment.
Combining creativity, interactive play and marine science, the experience introduces concepts such as biodiversity, ecological balance and ocean conservation in an engaging and intuitive way.
Families leave not only with memories of a fun activity, but also with a deeper appreciation of the importance of caring for our oceans.
Can you imagine watching your own fish swim across a digital reef while joining a mission to protect the seabed? L’Aquàrium de Barcelona invites you to enjoy this unique interactive experience designed for the whole family.
