This is a good aquarium to visit and surprisingly quiet and peaceful. No crowds when I Visited with my 7yr old daughter on a hot June Saturday. Looking at other reviews, there are better aquariums in the States, but there are also ones not a patch on this.

A bit pricy, €20, but wonderful, relaxing, and fun! Such nice exhibits--- best I've seen since Texas aquariums... My little baby loved watching the sharks and there were benches inside to sit and relax while you watched the fish and sharks... Would go again... Very informative too! (Stroller friendly also!)

Is this aquarium as nice as many found here in the United States? No!! However it is nice and I recommend it. Again, it is a peaceful place to walk around and be 'in' nature in a busy city!! My daughter and I enjoyed it a good deal and we recommend it to those traveling to Paris. Compared to the... More

You can watch the fish in a number of viewing cinema style areas. French films are also projected through the tank for people to view. The tank is very large and includes a number of species its a bit small but its a great place to visit.

We went to the aquarium mostly because it was on the way to another landmark, and they were doing a promotional tie-in with one of our favorite television shows. The aquarium is a bit different from American aquariums, and, in fact, they call it a "cine aqua"... and it lives up to its name. In addition to what I've come... More

There are not many things for children in Paris, unless you count Disney Park. Visiting the various museums can be a bit overwhelming for them, after the initial excitement. This is when, places like these can be handy- zoos, aquariums, entertainment parks... After being to the museums and palaces, I thought that this should be a great break for my... More

I've visited the Aquarium of Paris with my teenage daughter last year. It's very close to the Eiffel Tower, in Trocadero. But the place is very peaceful and provides a moment of rest in Paris. Certainly the kids are the target of the Aquarium, but we loved the place. There are so many rooms to see... and there is a... More

Very low standard and very limited selection: On very simple salad, some dry bread with cheese, a "bento-box" that took ages to arrive and contained scrambeled eggs and industrial sausages, all cold. Some dry pain au chocolat and not-so-bad apple tart, tea and coffey. Was it worth the 19:99 € ?? Hardly! However, given the location inside the aquarium (with... More

The "pirates" live show is exciting for kids up to probably age 6 or 7. Sit back and relax and watch a couple dozen sharks swim above you.

The best part of the aquarium was that it was a quiet retreat after the Eiffel Tower. They have one large tank with sharks and fish of all sorts which is impressive, but that's it. My favorite part was that the bathrooms were clean and the kids (8 & 6) needed a little break!
