Fabulous aquarium!! One of the biggest in Europe and worth the detour. Great for kids of all ages, but adults too. Educative, interactive with friendly helpful staff. Fish and other animals are well taken care of. Highly recommended.

This is such a great place to visit ! Beforehand, I thought that 30 was quite expensive for an aquarium, but I was so wrong. There is plenty to see and the 3 expositions (2 regulars and 1 temporary ) took us 4h30. Granted, I am the kind of person to read everything in a museum (and there is plenty to learn here if you are interested). There is a restaurant inside that's not so cheap but the food was good and the portions were big enough. Can't recommend it enough, even more so if you have kids !

Beautiful sea life centre! Better than the ones in London and the south of England. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and are bilingual which is a bonus for us that don't speak very good french. The gift shop is slightly over priced but aren't all of these places? Would highly recommend going here for a day out, as you can spend a good few hours here if you take your time going around. 10/10

A very nice aquarium. Convenient parking, correct Corona protocols. People who appreciate well-preserved, REAL coral riffs will absolutely love this place. Don't just run through it, sit down, lean back, read the signs and enjoy. Some things can be done a little bit better. But all in all a great experience, highly recommend.

Visited this place during January. First time visitors and Aquarium lovers will enjoy it. There is a restaurant inside. A big locker room available. There is a coffee vending machine at the reception which is really awesome!! I loved Hazelnut coffee

I've visited Nausicaa with the family last week; We reserved a slot and payed online; The Aquarium is big indeed, but we couldn't take advantage of our visit :( It was way too crowded, people packed like sardines in a can in some areas, so we had to make a quick pass; People were breathing in my neck effectively! Such was the lack of respect and distancing. There were COVID protocols and on that matter things seemed to have been well thought and organised, but the great majority seemed to ignore them completely, and tho there were supervisors in some places (not everywhere!), they did nothing ever during the 2 hours we were inside to intervene and enforce those protocols and rules; Not even an announcement reminding people that there is COVID and there are rules that need to be respected. I was very stressed during the visit and the days after. It was not worthy.

My six year old son was looking forward to visiting the aquarium and came away very disappointed. It's extremely expensive, approximately 150 for a family of five. The main aquarium is huge but wasn't that clear or full in terms of fish. The exhibit seemed to consist of lots of different views of the same tank, which was dull. The tropical exhibition was much better, it was brighter and had more interesting fish. The large shark was quite intimidating but it would have been better to know more about it and see it and the giant turtle from underneath. The seals were extremely disappointing, you can only see them from above and see them doing laps of their reasonably small tank. The penguins were even worse, the room was small and extremely smelly. The penguins simply stood there doing very little and only one actually swam while we were there. The food is deserving of special attention, it is extremely expensive. For example 3 for a small white ham sandwich. I chose a big bacon bap which was over 7. It was cooked but when I took a bite the bacon was still raw. When I complained they had to get a manager before they could refund me. Overall this was okay but not worth the kind of money we paid. Not worth a visit.
