My kids born in USA from French parents love this carousel…read more Typical "modern" French carousel with cars, moving plane, helicopter, space shuttle, truck, etc. My kids love the old-style American carousels with horses, but I suspect they have a preference for the French ones, particularly when you can play the "ponpon" game: grabbing a dangling "ponpon" and winning a free ride. Alain Joly is the friendly owner and operator of the carousel.

This small aquarium and museum is a great place to break up a day. Not far from the Rocher de la…read moreVierge, you can enjoy the view of the water while also checking out the seals. The museum portion gives you a glimpse of Biarritz past. My sons loved it! As stated it is small but well worth a trip!

From the owner: "Plus vrai que nature" Le Musée de la Mer a été inauguré le 7 juillet 1935. Dépassé techniquement…read moreet usé par l'environnement corrosif, il a été rénové en 1992. Il conserve ainsi son originalité architecturale tout en étant doté d'équipements modernes. Il abrite aujourd'hui plus de 150 espèces de poissons et invertébrés du Golfe de Gascogne, un bassin des phoques à vision subaquatique, une grotte des squales et différentes collections de cétacés et d'oiseaux. Enfin l'aspect scientifique n'est pas négligé (océanographie, ethnographie, météorologie, géologie). Au programme : animation autour du repas des phoques (repas tous les jours à 10h30 et 17h) sur la terrasse du Musée de la Mer de Biarritz (dont la vue panoramique exceptionnelle ! ), aquariums, grotte des requins, salle des Cétacés, techniques de pêches, expositions temporaires, galerie ornithologique, animations pédagogiques et visites thématiques...

Front desk staff was very short with us. People did not move through the exhibits very well. It was…read moreextremely warm inside. Once we made it to the aquarium portion, we just tried to avoid everyone so we could observe and take photos. Overall, I would recommend the aquarium to everyone just be prepared to take your time if you get anxious around a lot of people (like me).

This is a well-done aquarium and a bit off the beaten track for visitors to San Sebastián (Donosti,…read morein Basque). Suggestion: start at far end of La Concha beach and curl around to the other end, where the aquarium sits (see map). You'll have to pass near some great tapas or pintxos bars, which is not a bad thing, ever. Some of the fish seem friendly, others downright scary, judging from squeals of children (only drawback, in this enclosed space). A great place to go on a hot day. I highly recommend it, for both the walk and the viewing of the exhibits. My favorites are the medusas (jellyfish) and the baby tiburones (sharks), which one can watch being born (see photo). I walked back to several areas to view again.

Came here on a weekday in the fall because we wanted to ride the funicular while in town. As we…read moreexpected, all of the rides were closed, but to our surprise they still had some food and drink options open! We enjoyed walking around the mountaintop and taking in all the spectacular views of San Sebastian and the coast. We also enjoyed getting some spritzes at the bar and sipping on them with the ultimate view. Without the rides it's not a place you'll spend too much time, but still worth the visit for the views and a ride on the historic funicular. Would love to come back and go on some rides in the future.
