Go there and contact
A contemporary and colourful temple of aquatic life, with a shark tunnel, petting pool and two movie theatres.
With its 43 basins and large aquariums containing 4 million liters of water, its three movie theaters showing must-see documentaries, as well as entertainment films, ecological animations and shows, the Aquarium de Paris is a comprehensive site for discovering the marine world. It offers a tour of the French coastline, including the Seine, the English Channel, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Caledonian lagoon, the reefs of French Polynesia, the Indo-Pacific basin and much more. Home to some 13,000 fish and invertebrates. A 33-metre-long tunnel takes you right up to the sharks, with some 40 sharks of four different species - blacktip sharks, nurse sharks, grey sharks and a zebra shark - evolving in an immense underwater cathedral. The "petting" tank lets you touch and feed Koi carp and sturgeon. Animations on the underwater world have been designed for children, such as "Sharks, endangered species" (they can ask all their questions about these fascinating species). Also on the program: night-time discoveries, a brunch, grandparents' day... The aquarium's flagship attraction, the Medusarium (24 display tanks), exhibits one of the world's first collections of jellyfish, while raising visitors' awareness of climate issues and showcasing the beauty of the oceans. Interactive terminals provide innovative educational content.
