Star Star Star Star Star - A magnificent aquarium with potential to be developed
Written by Alexandra , on 24-03-2023

The aquarium is beautiful, the reception is pleasant. It is a pity that the café restaurant was closed. I also wonder about the prices of the playground, which is under construction in front of the aquarium. The entrance tickets are still quite expensive + the souvenir store which you have to pass through to get out (even if the products sold are of good quality and affordable prices) + the games area? All this gives a feeling that we want to empty our pockets. It's a pity. Here are some ideas: make the place for waste more visible to raise awareness about the pollution of the seas. It's always impressive to see what you find there. On the other hand, for small children the visit can seem a bit monotonous. They would be happy to run around and play with the images of the interactive projection for example. I wish you good luck with the work!

Written by Sandra B, on 05-03-2023

No problem to book online. The plus of booking your slot is that we are not on top of each other. I went with my 2 children of 5 and 8 years. I paid 58 euros. Honestly I was very disappointed with the lack of variety of animals from the sea. The exhibition around the "rabbits" was more than lame and did not bring the fun side I was hoping for. For me the price is not worth the quality of the service.

Star Star Star Star Star - Disappointment
Written by Mallory, on 22-02-2023

For a city like Paris, I expected better. The tour was done quickly, so not great in terms of value for money. An outing that keeps the kids busy in case of bad weather but not essential otherwise. The + of the visit was the pond with the carps that the children can touch. Easy booking on familinparis with discount, I recommend booking through this site!

Star Star Star Star Star - A little disappointed
Written by Linaelle Morisset, on 15-11-2022

It's nice to see the wonder of the children but the aquariums are a bit repetitive. The sharks are only visible on two large windows. For the fame of Paris, this is a little light as an activity. One pays for the Trocadero's setting but not for the semplendor of the aquariums.

Star Star Star Star Star - Immersive, educational and beautiful.
Written by Nicole, on 22-08-2022

No difficulty in booking or on site. The "playful" animations were not very attractive (for the adults as well as for the young child (3 years old) who accompanied us). The aquariums (presentation, diversity, explanations) were very pleasant and interesting to observe. The signposted route and the general design allow you to avoid stepping on your feet and to have easy access. Not accessible to all.

Star Star Star Star Star - Very good moment birthday gift for our 5 years old son
Written by Aline Sabourdy , 12-08-2022

No waiting on arrival. The fish, the aquarium and the sublime mermaid. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and available. The toilets are very clean. What it is necessary to spend a good moment, possibility of sitting down for the people who need it on all the course. We had to change our tickets because there was no train to come and the person on the phone to make the change was very kind and understanding of our difficulties. We recommend this activity moreover we have shared on Facebook these good moments.the only regret mob husband being blind he has no audio guide.

Great time with my son. We were amazed by the countless species present. There is really something for everyone. The carp petting pool was just sensational. The only drawback is that access with a stroller is complicated because there is no elevator outside and the one in the aquarium to reach the hall was out of order.

1. Little diversity in the presentation of flora and fauna, 2. Serious breach of safety standards during the small show of the Mermaid, room 10: too small, too many people accepted, about 4 people sitting on the floor / m², jostling and irritation or even insults from some, performance of the mermaid too limited and not enough to be seen by children (apparently little breath so forced to go up often to catch his breath at the surface). 3. we will not recommend this offer

We had a reservation for three people on Sunday 31 October at 3:30 pm. The aquarium itself is really nice with a lot of species to discover but unfortunately the crowds and too many people at the same time spoiled our visit. Why ask for a visit time when everybody can come back at any time. At the same time for an aquarium to be squeezed like in a sardine can...

The atmosphere is magical for both children and adults, with the colors and the diversity of the animals presented. A small drawback is the absence of a document distributed at the entrance that allows you to visit the aquarium in its entirety without losing the thread of the visit. Another drawback: the information on the contents of each aquarium is not indicated.

Written by Charles Bernet, on 15-07-2021

We booked the 6:30pm slot on a Saturday not realizing that the aquarium closed at 7pm. Everyone seemed surprised by the existence of this slot but let us in thinking that we were early for the 7pm nocturne! In the end, it was magical since we were alone between 2 slots (for the jellyfish and the sharks it was really worth it). We even did the circuit a second time (for our son who had fallen asleep). On the other hand, we realized that some of the pools were no longer lit, which is a pity for those who only go at night. In short, a nice opportunity and a good time with the family

I went with my children (11 and 8 years old) during the All Saints' Day vacations. The little one was delighted because she saw a mermaid, for my part 2 min of show.... It's class!!! The children appreciated to be able to caress the fish. The visit lasts 1 hour, not more as I saw in other reviews. This aquarium is very good for little ones, not really interesting for older kids. I strongly advise against the restaurant !!!!!
