Nausicaa, if this is your first time you will be amazed !!! On the other hand if you go there often enough you will notice that there are no novelties and that the concept is at its peak. In addition the parking is ridiculous compared to the number of people who come for the day the city should do a few things, it is the only downside of this site!

very large aquarium. Stroller to rent 3.90 euros a day, there are closed lockers also to put the business. Near the beach, so you can take 1 turn at the exit.
I put the rating of 3 because of the price is really excessive (plus paid parking), otherwise we spend a good time playful and educational, (I advise against low-age children too much reading and documentary areas). Attention animation of sea lions is limited in number for security reasons so (not seen) make your arrangements.
An amazing place. This was our 2nd visit and so much had changed but for the better. The fascination with all the fish and lives of the creatures is never ending for us. We will be returning for a 3rd time and be bringing our grandson with us
Very disappointed with the services and organization, apart from two aquariums that are really worth a look the rest is more plan plan for such a high entry price! Moreover to access the ticket office arm yourself with patience even coming to the opening. Moreover a minimum age of attendance seems to me essential, strollers and other baby clearly have no place (it is not an amusement park!). NB: a more important surveillance of the animals seems to me also necessary, we saw people squarely annoy the penguins in their enclosures, at no time there was a intervention of the security, attention therefore to your animals. In the same way the poor giant manta ray was very cramped in its 10,000m2 basin, it's sad.
What evolutions compared to the Nausicaa that I knew ten years ago ... Actually now when we are in the entrance hall, we have the choice between several exhibitions ... Obviously high-sea travel is the new part of Nausicaa, manta rays, shark and other jellyfish give visitors the impression of being completely immersed in this universe.
very clean aquarium in the new part too many screens and we turn around the same basin so we always see the same fish we weren't able to make the sea lions very unfortunate the children wanted to see them but hey more space very damaging.
Top but I strongly advise to take your ticket before because queue very long no matter the time if you already have your entry ticket you can entered very quickly and it lacks covered picnic areas
We admire the engagement of nausicaa who shares a message of protecting the oceans. We regret the size of the facilities for sea lions, penguins, crocodiles, turtles and all tropical species ... the price is exorbitant. People behave like savages without respect for others ... so we are skeptical ...
To discover another day than a holiday. The dark rooms of the seabed become oppressive because of the crowd and the cries of young children. Negative point that deserves the rating of 3/5. We pay full price 4 people with min 2 adults despite the advertised promotion on the website. At the reception the answer received leaves us without a way: "Sorry, in can not do anything to refund you, but if you want, we invite you to fill our guestbook". Which act, but in a guestbook accessible to all before buying these tickets.
The place has really changed since the last time we went. For children, this is good. There is a course to follow. I recommend even though the prices are still high.
Badly fallen on a busy day (Thursday, August 9), no doubt very interesting but big lack of organization for the management of the number of visitors, premises unsuitable for such a large number of people. I am thinking above all of the sanitary facilities (having to change babies even on the floor of the corridors). Otherwise a botched visit by the present world and disappointed by the number of screens present compared to that of aquariums.
We went on a monday for the holidays so a bit crowded but we drove well. Only negative point not enough lifts for people with mobility issues or strollers.
In these times of covid no restrictions were in effect apart from wearing a mask. Otherwise it's a fair, crowded with people, queues everywhere, no distancing, worse than disney or asterix on a busy day.
The aquarium is very beautiful, the paintings are magnificent to be redone later in better times
Disappointed ... Far too many screens we did not expect that. During our visit there was a lot of people difficult to see the different species, many different levels difficult with the strollers we had done in Toronto and enjoyed it much more!
To do once a minimum in his life! Departure to discover the fauna and flora underwater in a setting and an environment restored to perfection. Super animation I recommend it worth the trip
Very nice experience. The giant pool is filled with poetry, we could stay for hours in front of this show. The center is classified into two main themes: the high seas and the coasts. The visit is enhanced by a multitude of information on the visible species, the biodiversity of the environments as well as the ecology.
Very beautiful place, an immersion in the world of the extraordinary sea. Allow 5h or 6h visit. Be careful to follow the plan, the display on site is not great, and we risk missing aquariums. Visit that I recommend. In addition to Boulogne s / mer there are lots of nice little restaurants at reasonable prices,
We never get tired of it. Special mention to the large aquarium in front of which I stayed long enough, a very soothing moment. The sea lion show is very informative and rather funny.
Beautiful place, but really too busy to see anything decent. If you go with a pram or wheelchair, you are at the mercy of a maze of lifts and corridors. The lifts are small and you often have to wait a long time. It is easier to do without a wheelchair or pram
Disappointment for me. For the new part, there is certainly a beautiful pool, but we turn around the same pool for 1 hour, so we always see the same thing. For the old part, a little more stuff but the pools are much, much too small. The sea lions are in a paddling pool! I had a heartache ... For the caimans, sharks and penguins too ... There are also too many exhibition panels or videos, we have the impression that it is to fill the void of animals. These supports are too focused on raising awareness of the ocean world and we do not have enough information on the species present in the aquarium. In 3/4 of the cases, we do not even know what we see in front of us (not even a name). On the other hand, on the catering side, my partner was ill after eating a burger with a barely cooked steak ... And we eat in disposable while throughout the visit we advocate the precarious state of the marine world and ecology ... Note that there is no smoking area either, you will have to abstain for several hours, because if you go out, it is final (covid situation) In conclusion, the price is much too high for what there is actually to see in terms of aquarium. More screens and exhibitions than fish.
It is a very nice place, there are several small courses and what to restore on place.poiny negative, I went there on a Saturday afternoon and so it was rather crowded and consequently park, it was very hot in the hallways
Very nice center. Maybe a bit chaotic or overwhelmingly arranged at the start setup. The restaurants are also not efficiently organized at all and cannot handle the capacity of the center. But the shark tank, the sea lions, the coral reef ... are beautiful.
A place to discover. Diversity is at the rendezvous with incredible species and staging is well thought out decor. Guides are happy to inform you. The only downside is the excessive consumption prices !!
Aquarium very well thought out and very interesting, 3 different courses possible even if only 2 are really interesting. We still stayed 4 hours inside! In addition they have their own parking lot with discounts to the day if you want to visit the area and more. To do with or without children if you are in Boulogne sur mer
