Nausícaä Reviews

Great visit with a child.
The large pool with the huge ray and sharks is exceptional!
Despite the covid and the mask, the visit is going well.

Lots to see and lots to read. Get there early to make sure you're not rushed. They do a 2nd consecutive day ticket for hardly any extra money, might be worth doing that and splitting visit over 2 days and take in the other sights of Boulogne-sur-Mer if you have time

Very good # accessibility. It is best to start the tour with the old part. Many basins arranged according to the #marines funds. A lot of explanation for adults on each of the marine species to perfect our knowledge. For the children Nemo and his friends are present here and there. The visit lasts more than an hour.

Beautiful embellishment with the new center. To be quiet, come from 16:00, you will have Nausicaa for you alone (so almost) ....

Here you can hang around for a whole day, here you can relax (outside of the tourist season).

Wherever you drive in France, it's worth a detour ...
Little to tell, you have to see this.

Also good restaurant, lots to do for children ... Well French and English ... But audio guide is available.

Excellent, pity that everything was not open but it takes a lot of work. Excellent restaurant too

Fantastic sea aquarium. Interesting info. Great view on sharks, Manta Ray, and all other fishes.

It is very beautiful very well done. Avoid going on a rainy day it's full you can not see anything and it's full of strollers. After an exhibition we can not stand the cries of fathers who carry their children in front of the glass (usually they are already 1m80) is a shame because we see that everything has been thought intelligently and the quality of the different aquarium is really superb.
In short to see out of season for me

The aquariums are very big, it shows that the animals are healthy, and some of these animals are impressive!

Magnificent ! I am removing one star for the new 800-space car park, which is very expensive, and for the toilets at the entrance, a big lack of hygiene ...

Very nice place
The large pool is beautiful

I could have put 5 stars, because Nausicaa is really a beautiful place (magic itself), we learn a lot about nature and the dangers that threaten it. But the entrance is far too expensive, especially since we remain captive to eat (not much and excessive price), if we want to have the time to see everything and attend the entertainment. I think of families with children ...

Superb visit suitable for all ages.
Allow 3 hours for the full visit, taking your time.
Super nice, friendly and attentive staff, always with a smile, this is very pleasant.
Beautiful aquariums, beautiful visibility of animals, a great diversity. Wonders at each stage.
Paid and small car parking.
Too bad that parking for campsites is prohibited nearby.
The air for motorhomes is quite a long walk away.

Small regret for the lack of ecology of this site which advocates marine protection. Disposable plastic cups in coffee machines, ... a shame, yet simple gestures could still be developed to raise public awareness of pollution.

I went with my one-year-old son. The aquariums are very beautiful. The lifts for the stroller are very poorly indicated it's an obstacle course! We were offered to take pictures of us during the visit. Photos sold 30 euros the 3 photos. You have to boycott it's a scam!

Well liked the security at the entrance. Pushchair access everywhere. Paid parking.food inside quite expensive for quality .. Nausicaa is a place to see.

Nice place, pretty aquarium that is worth the detour and moving ...

I recommend for young and old, we take the eyes, it's like in aquariums with fish, sharks and others ... really nice.

Very beautiful oceanographic center with many species! The focus is on ecology, the preservation of animals and their ecosystem, it is very educational.
Expansion work with an opening scheduled for 2018 is promising.

The new pool is very impressive, maybe too much for young children. Ours in any case preferred the other part of the aquarium, more playful.
The parking lot is a bit remote.
Glad to have made the trip from Paris for the weekend

A great place to visit well worth a day trip over to France to visit

Very nice although a bit expensive for the time spent there, but my 3 year old son was really enjoying it !!

Too many people! What makes the visit quite unpleasant, no visibility of the aquariums, and the price of the entrance ticket is very expensive.

Nausicaa ... to do! A place for little ones, teenagers and grown-ups

Great for families very impressive re-creation of a coral reef it takes about 3 hours of visit

Splendid ! The price of the entry (25 90) seemed expensive at first but it is worth the price!
Lots of species to see in the aquarium, very knowledgeable about the arrows to follow!
The staff is very friendly
Accessible to PMR, possibility to request a wheelchair

If you are in the area, it's worth going to see it!

Not up to the reputation ... much too expensive ....

A huge store! Here are really extremely fix 2-4 hours out. Good topics that are well thought out. Huge aquariums, with insights from almost every angle. Definitely recommended for a gray day.
However, so I think, there were not too profound reports / explanations what you look at there partially, but always the hint that you should be careful but with the nature should be true, yes, a few more information would have it anyway may be.
Well otherwise, what a pity about the caged animals, but it does not fare well there, but certainly not!

Superb to see absolutely, for the little ones as for the big ones

Great family day very fun we went up for the day of Paris and we did not regret. Great changing room location on arrival very convenient for a quiet visit, small corner to eat picnic or on site, sense of visit very well indicated for once it was the children who guided us.

Beautiful for adults and children I particularly recommend

Disappointed, we no longer find the specific areas seals seals, we can no longer caress the rays, too young pool, lack of greenery, most of the walls is not yet covered with algae, too much reading of signs to my taste, I would have preferred a headphone that tells what is important to know, where a staff style guide, to comment on the visit, I nevertheless recognize the technical feat of this aquarium outsized

Very expensive but there is a huge pool. There were more employees than visitors on the day of our visit.
I removed a star because the restaurant area is very expensive for sandwiches worthy of a corporate cafeteria ... A review completely.

It is very spacious and has some amazing aquariums! Quite pricey, but worth it!

Great place to visit for young and old. The variation in sea life they show is enormous and you can see the animals up close. The giant manta is really the main song, very impressive.

A place still as interesting and crucial for the education of our young shoots. With the beach as a bonus if the weather is good. A small flat for the prices even if they are legitimate.

Beautiful aquarium with many species even if it lacks some specimen.

Beautiful aquarium, a good walk which unfortunately was spoiled by the non-respect of sanitary rules, the wearing of the OK mask at no distance, people on top of each other, too many people for a confined space, very disappointed, if I had known it was like this we would not have come to take so much risk.
Especially since this is not given

A beautiful place and with the new pool, we take full eyes

A modern house that deals with all topics related to the sea. Everything is explained and presented in a very entertaining and multimedia way. The central large aquarium is absolutely worth seeing. The seal show at 3 p.m. is also not to be missed.

Renowned to be the most beautiful and the largest in Europe on our doorstep.

The place is magnificent, there is a great diversity of species, the ecological aspect is well highlighted! The new party is awesome, especially the last aquarium !! The only downside is the high price and the lack of a large shark for the moment in the last basin which makes the aspect "empty"

A little above ... It looks huge on the prospectus. His remains to be done despite everything

Very nice aquarium, very pleasant layout, fun activities are very nice. To advise with family, friends, couples etc

Nausicaa is definitely worth a visit. The exhibition consists of three parts. 1 the gigantic marine aquarium in which you can even see hammerhead sharks and focus on the open sea. 2 the exhibition Man and Sea, which is dedicated to the coasts as a habitat and thus enables glimpses of coral reefs, mangroves with crocodiles, clown fish, sea urchins, etc. The third part includes the penguins as a highlight.

Luggage and clothing can be conveniently locked in boxes. There are no additional costs for this.

We found the enormous volume level caused by the rather high number of visitors to be a bit annoying. The admission price of 25 per person and around 20 per child is also not a bargain. Unfortunately, no audio guides were available in 07/2018 and the description of the exhibits is not always available in English or is not available in the same depth.

You can easily spend 3-4 hours here. As in most museums, however, there is more information than can be processed and retained in one visit.

An ideal and worthwhile stopover on the way from NL, BE or DE to Normandy or Brittany.

Accessible parking, not too expensive. Very nice aquarium, but you certainly need a day to view everything in peace.

Great time at Nausicaa! It really is an amazing place

Covid measure NONE you may need to limit entries! Because inside it was a real farce.

The price: extremely expensive for many spots either under construction or closed. (Modular price is NONE).

More than 3 euros per person (even for children who cannot read at a young age) for the environment / climate exhibition which gives access to penguins in addition. Don't pay it !!! Because usually this access to animals is already included in the price without having to pay the surplus due to the climate exhibition.
For the rest it remains a good aquarium for a rainy day but you will regret your visit '' A-mer-ment '' !!

Conclusion: To be strongly avoided.
To visit only once not twice. Learn about the activities as well because even outside the covid phenomenon it is NONE.

Naussicaa is clearly a farce and a tourist trap and even a local one! Too bad because the aquatic diversity is rich and beautiful to see.
Shameful.

Visited on weekday in early April. There were some school children around, but it wasn't that busy.
We took a small child who enjoyed the sensory nature of the exhibitions and loved staring at the fish. The whole place can be accessed without using steps if necessary.
The aquarium is set-up well to look into the large tank from many vantage points and everything had an English translation.
We went to one demonstration which was the feeding of sea lions and that was very entertaining.
The main cafe was under renovation when we visited so we went to one of the other cafes. The food here was not great, I had a microwaved cheeseburger. So recommendation would be to find alternative food at lunchtime.

Very expensive since the last increase .... Add the trip, the meal, I will not make the mistake again.
The exhibitions are nothing extraordinary, we sell dreams on the brochure and the website ...

Friendly staff, helpful, kind and attentive I highly recommend even in mobility reduced everything is done to facilitate your travels. We will return

The place is very beautiful. Being able to land in front of the aquariums is relaxing. I appreciate being able to learn and observe the different marine species while respecting these and the environment in general.
The changes bring a lot to the park, we are talking about a new space, a larger shop, and many to inform and raise awareness. Several animations to see "slices of life" of certain species. To visit at least once in your life. It's worth it.

Super visit a lot of species very nice safety instructions respected without hesitation to make a dining area where you can bring or buy on site very affordable shop compare to the zoo and other parks already visited (Eure, Calvados) and the most is that just after the visit walk on the beach

It was our 1st visit today with our children. Beautiful, very pleasant staff. Very good meal. We will go back

Beautiful place with beautiful watercolors. But too much Abusive in terms of tariffs

Very nice place and impressive. It took 4 hours to do everything ms we do not realize.

If you go with the caravan you have to park 2 km away because they do not have parking spaces for caravans.

Magnificent ! Not to be missed if you are near Boulogne!

Difficult to see everything with a stroller (twins) elevators not always very practical

Fantastic place, otherworldly. It's so big i didn't even have time to look at the whole thing! If i'm ever in France again this is the first place i'm going.

a must-see place, well done a remarkable aquarium to do alone or with the family.

Perfect EXCEPT THE RESTAURANT WHO IS A HORROR

The aquarium offers a visit of at least 3-4 hours (see much more if you take the time to read everything, but there are a lot of rehearsals all the same), a lot of things to see, to do.
Very beautiful aquarium (the largest in Europe), which remains small if you have the chance to have aquaria Osaka or Okinawa in Japan.

By cons the restaurant is a horror, we paid a tartiflette 10 euros, already the portion is ridiculous (it would take 4 to satiate an adult) but in addition it is ultra low-end, bacon 100% fat, a tasteless sauce, potatoes not cooked and too thin, we make fun of the world with this dish probably frozen and just reheated which should not cost more than one euros in cost price ...
Plan to eat somewhere else !!!

Back in Nausicaa after more than 15 years, we had a great time walking around in front of the aquatic paintings, each as beautiful as the next. We appreciated the diversity of species that we are not used to seeing in aquariums around here. We will come back ;-)

Beautiful aquarium! Hat low for the work done, I loved my visit!

We had been there before, but it is every time x stars in the eyes. The facilities are great and the new pool spectacular.

Beautiful price but very expensive, little toilet which is difficult with small children.
For my part, too much screen and suddenly it removes magic instead.

Interesting museum but too crowded with visitors ..
