The acquarium is beautiful and well maintained, the highlight of the show is Ingrid the mermaid, the only drawback is finding the entrance to the acquarium when coming from the Trocadero metro station.

Kids love it, too bad they can't feed the fish. There's a lack of interactivity with the children. They're not going to read the tablets with the names of the fish, why not an audio ppur interested!?!? And make the visit more interactive! Otherwise great time and visit, my son loved the Koi fish !!! See you another time.

The aquarium experience was a disappointment coming from Chicago, we knew it may not be quite as extensive and elaborate as the aquarium back home but we were not expecting that. It was dark inside and not a lot to see at all!!! You ca do that place in 20 mins and be done!!!! NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!! This is something that should be free to the public. You should not be paying to get into this location. The restaurant outside the aquarium is not a good place to eat at especially with all of pigeons/birds attacking you for your food!!!! And the taste was blah!!!! I was really disappointed in this aquarium!!! I would not recommend!

I enjoyed the visit but I have 2 comments to make. Firstly, how come I was charged 19.95 euros when it was indicated that I would be charged 19.50 euros. Secondly, I wasn't able to print out the ticket, which can be useful in the event of a problem with the phone.

We are from Cape Town, so we know our Two Oceans aquarium. Yours is very beautiful and you have very special displays, user friendly, child friendly and easy to find via online maps! The animals are happy and well cared for! Thank you!

Your experience

If you're looking to do something offbeat in Paris, head over to the Paris Aquarium (also known as Cinéaqua). Built in 1867, it is one of the oldest aquariums in the world and is home to over 13,000 sea creatures that swim in 4 million liters of water. The attraction also features mermaid shows, an aquatic cinema, and a shark basin - all this, smack in the heart of Paris!

The tanks at the aquarium host life from both tropical regions, as well as those closer to home. For the latter, you'll get to see an entire section with carp, sturgeon, and roach in a recreation of the Seine River. There are also recreated versions of Tahiti and New Caledonia with vibrant-hued fish like angelfish, clownfish, and triggerfish jockey darting around corals. The highlight, however, has to be the sharks. There are four species of sharks that you can spot, bound to elicit nervous laughs and excited squeals from the audience.

There are also two large screens that show aquatic documentaries, a touch tank where you can stroke Koi fish, and live feeding demos to make it a magical day with your family.
