Lanzarote Aquarium

Costa Teguise


If you're at a loose end with the kids, the aquarium at the northeast end of town is an OK wet-weather option, though some balk at the high entrance fees and dark interior. There are touch pools and a shark tank, and plenty of colourful fish and sea critters viewed from an underwater tunnel, plus an emphasis on marine conservation and turtle rehabilitation.
