Institut Océanographique

Museum

District : Notre-Dame / Quartier Latin


Description :

All year.

Show me a butterfly fish! What does a clown fish eat? Have you ever seen a sea urchin? To have all the answers to your kids’ questions about marine life, why not take the whole family on a trip to the Centre de la Mer?... This educational museum reveals all the secrets of the deep through exhibitions highlighting the infinite variety of ocean organisms, plus tours of 7 aquariums housing tropical fish. For those who want to know more, they can join one of the fun and informative activities at the centre: a touch tank for close encounters with starfish, crabs and sea urchins; a detective game to seek out creatures and objects in the museum or the discovery of the hidden life of an aquarium.
