Members' reviews on NAUSICAA
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
S'asseoir en face d'un aquarium et regarder les raies et les poissons danser reste d'un appaissement sans fin.
C’est particulièrement appréciable de voir que le musée s’efforce de sensibiliser chaque visiteur sur les enjeux environnementaux. Certaines activités ludiques permettent de se rendre compte de l’impact néfaste de l’activité humaine.
Maintenant il y a une question que je me (vous-le musée) pose tout de même après notre visite: les espèces qui se trouvent dans les aquariums (particulièrement celles qui sont de grande taille) sont-elles suffisamment à l’aise pour avoir une vie normale?
Nous avons fait la visite en presque 2 heures sans vraiment s’arrêter pour lire, étant avec un enfant de deux ans il voulait surtout voir les poissons, et il a été très content. Les commentaires concernant le manque d’espèces n’est pas justifié. En revanche il est vrai que parfois on se perdait un petit peu ????
Le top reste le grand bassin qui offre plusieurs point de vue !
