If you are visiting Genoa by boat, this is a great place to visit especially with kids. The aquarium is only a 10-15 minute walk from the port so no transport is needed. The third child is free so big families can get tickets too. The visit takes about 2-3 hours and it is best to check if there is a dolphin show before you go as I didn't catch one the day I went.
Run out onto the pier and mostly Mediterranean animals and fish. It's a single path access that takes you through the whole place which was nice. Only complaint was the forced photo op at the start - very pushy/can't say no easily and it was very hot in parts.
