A total of 362,077 people visited the Aquarium of San Sebastián in 2025, making it the most visited tourist and cultural resource in Gipuzkoa and the second in the Basque Country, behind the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

From an economic point of view, the turnover of the Aquarium store has increased by 4.8%, driven, among other factors, by the introduction of its own line of more sustainable products, aligned with the values of conservation and respect for the marine environment.
Likewise, the business line of events has grown by 38% due to the consolidation of the new "Mare", "Thalassa" and "Privado" areas, which have increased their activity by 66%.
