Perfect and child-friendly. Not being able to visit the aquarium and science city on the same day allowed us to visit the next day

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.

The oceanográfic is fine. It lacks a picnic area with a microwave for babies. And the science museum is a bit outdated and could use a renovation.

I loved the walk coming to the Aquarium. There was a high concentration of many animal species. The sea lions were super cute. How they played in the water. I loved the Beluga whale. I have never seen anything like that.

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.

Oceanografic was great. We spent 5 hours there including a dolphin show. We had sunny weather. We really liked the layout of the facility, you spend time in and out of buildings. All in all, a great day.

It's a pity that the science museum has no signage in French. So it was much less attractive for us.

The aquarium was really very complete, with some very interesting passages. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing; the only real downside of our visit. The Cité des Sciences was very suitable for children, and the experiments were a great success.

Nice experiment to both Museum of Scienze and Oceanographic. Unfortunately not all was available in English language at the science museum, but mostly yes. Oceanographic is really cool and I appreciate their focus on climate change.

The Oceanographic was beautiful. Seeing the different animals and habitats was very exciting. Definitely worth a visit and you should plan around 3 hours. The Science Museum was quite crowded and most of the exhibits were unfortunately broken/not working when we visited.

The organization and proximity between the two places to visit, it was easy to buy the ticket on lina, you could give the option to visit over 2 days because in only 1 it becomes a bit stressful.

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.

What to say , if you don't see you don't believe. An exceptional place, manic organization, beautiful. In addition you eat everywhere and pay right, so do not worry about bringing bags and weighing yourself down. Icing on the cake , the parking, 7 euros all day in complete tranquility. Unforgettable experience.

Beautiful oceanographic, even without a guide. The museum of arts and sciences is a beautiful facility worth a visit for its architectural merit, but the exhibits are more of an educational nature more suitable in my opinion for school groups.
