Explore the sea and its mysteries, meet its inhabitants... From fragile jellyfish to fascinating sharks: a unique 1h30 journey to Dream and Understand the Sea.

In the center of the city, facing the Old Port, discover one of the largest private aquariums in Europe.

During 1h30, visit the heart of the ocean, meet more than 12 marine animals, and let yourself be surprised by the biodiversity of the Atlantic, the Mediterranean or the Tropics.

For more anecdotes, also complete your visit with our audio guide available in French, English, Spanish and German.

The Aquarium La Rochelle also invites the whole family to discover the secrets of colors in the Ocean or the superpowers of marine animals. Through two fun activity booklets combining scientific information and games, children explore the seabed and the incredible secrets of its inhabitants.
