The oceanographic institute is the most beautiful I have visited so far. The tanks are larger and better lit than other aquariums where the animals are in captivity, respecting the marine fauna housed. Unfortunately, in contrast, the science museum had non-functioning stations. To be improved.

family with 4 1/2 year old girl. the aquarium was engaging so much that the little girl walked to the end. It is a different concept of the aquarium than the aquarium in Genoa. The dolphin show was also very interesting for the child. We then went to the Science Museum where there is a special area for children from 4 to 10 years old. Also in the various pavilions there are several interesting activities/experiments for the baby as well. I would definitely go there again.

Great place! Great show. There were lockers for backpacks and travel bags, which served us well. You can even leave them and open them several times during the day. We left our bags at the Cité de la Science and came back at the end of the day to pick them up.

The oceanographic is amazing. Lots and lots of different environments, each with large tanks and some beautiful animals. I especially loved the dolphins and the artic sea area. Definitely the best aquarium I've been to so far. On the downside, a couple of things come across as money grabbing, like the very inflated prices at the restaurant or having to pay for a disposable poncho in the aviary. Considering the entry ticket is quite expensive already, these could be offered at a lower price. The science museum is very interactive and I think best suited for kids. Adults will find some cool curiosities here and there but it doesn't compare to similar museums in other big cities.

The experience, organization and customer service are good. However, the fact of having so many animals in captivity is a bit worrying, it is good that they strengthen environmental care worldwide by example, taking advantage of the fact that they have this capacity.

The aquarium with the outer areas is very elaborately designed, the underwater world in particular is very impressive, as is the walk through the tunnels. What a huge effort! In this respect, the initially high admission price of around 40 euros is entirely justified.
