Easy access for people with limited mobility and the nearby dedicated parking lot are definite pluses. We were able to see all the exhibits, the terrace, and watch the fish feeding. We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch at the bistronomic restaurant. Walking through the tunnel for a fully immersive experience with Nausicaa’s inhabitants is a highlight of the visit.

I bought a skip-the-line ticket online, which wasn't necessary because there weren't many people there! During the tour, we got lost in the maze of rooms and hallways! A color-coded floor plan with numbered markers would be helpful for finding our way around. I hate foreign-run sites, especially since I'm in France!! The price is way too high, and there are no discounts for seniors!

Skip the lines at Nausicaá and dive straight into the action, meeting 1,600 species across 85 aquariums and terrariums.

Make the most of the exhibitions and live shows on site—like Sea Lion Training, Lagoon Feeding, and Meet the Penguins—available on select days of your visit.

Walk through an 18m long submarine tunnel — befriend penguins, admire hammerhead sharks, and watch sea lions getting trained.

Access perpetual exhibits like The Giants of the High Seas and follow a leatherback turtle to uncover secrets of Malpelo Island, home to endangered marines.

Pet a shark! At the Touch Pool, the likes of Catsharks and Thornback rays will swim to your hands.

We had a great time and discovered so many new things. One small downside: the paid parking—even with the discount, it’s still expensive and has to be paid on top of the admission fee.

No waiting, quick check-in. Digital tickets work very well.

I was warmly welcomed and guided—since I have a pacemaker, I was immediately directed past the security gates to enter. Everything went smoothly. It was a pleasant visit—kudos to the whole team!
