Members' reviews on NAUSICAA
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
De plus l'audioguide ne fonctionne pas bien et le personnel m'a semblé en sous effectif criant. Ainsi le point info était peu accessible, ainsi que les informations sur la structure de la visite.
Les espaces m'ont semblés minuscules le nombre d'animaux qui y étaient entassés, j'ai vraiment eu de la peine pour eux.
Il y a également beaucoup d'écrans par rapport aux animaux vivants, pour lesquels il faut être prêt à jouer des coudes pour pouvoir les voir.
Bref, j'ai vraiment l'impression de ne pas être fait pour ce type d'endroits. Donc si vous êtes comme moi, évitez !
Très fréquenté et donc malheureusement un peu bruyant..
