We visited this aquarium while on a trip to Paris. Having visited many aquariums over the years, I…read moreguess you could say I'm a bit of an aquarium snob, so my expectations were fairly high. Overall, I thought this aquarium was just okay. The layout was confusing, and it wasn't always clear which direction to go. There also didn't seem to be a large variety of fish. Most of the exhibits featured common fish, along with a few small sharks and stingrays. One thing they did have plenty of was jellyfish, and those displays were beautiful. The aquarium was extremely crowded, so it's possible we missed some exhibits or didn't get the full experience. Even so, I don't know that I would recommend it, especially if you've visited several larger aquariums. It wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't stand out compared to others I've been to.

This is a very well kept aquarium with a variety of sea life. The main attraction is the albino…read morealligator, but it's tough to get a good view of it since the habitat is below the viewing area. There is plenty of space to accommodate visitors without feeling crowded. This is NOT the aquarium near the Eiffel Tower, contrary to some of the reviews that I have seen here. This aquarium is on the east side of Central Paris near Bois de Vincennes. This is a great place to visit just outside of Central Paris.

This is one of the smaller aquariums that I've been to, but I guess that's not a surprise given its…read morelocation. The price is a bit high for the experience. Our kids loved it, so totally worth it. Most of the signage is in French, English, and Spanish. The squishy has a relationship with the Kamo Japanese aquarium, so they had a bunch of Hello Kitty themed decorations and such. More importantly, the partnership means that this aquarium has a lot of jellyfish. We visited in December, so the mermaid show was also Christmas themed. It's an excellent show that is very well-rehearsed. They don't sell any food inside, but we were able to get a stamp for re-entry, eat or snacks outside, and then continue our visit. With children, this is a good 2-3 hour visit if you are able to catch one of the shows. Without the show, 2 hours maximum unless you just really love aquariums.

Amazing zoo in the 12th, totally worth the longish transit ride. We live near one of the world's…read moregreatest zoos (San Diego Zoo), and we were totally satisfied with the Parc Zoologique de Paris. We didn't feel like it was in any way underwhelming or disappointing. On the contrary ,we were impressed with the very modern habitats, which seemed quite a bit roomier than most zoos, while not quite as spacious as the more open wild animal parks. Of course, as is the case with any zoo, you won't get to see every animal, as, you know, they're wild animals and can't be told to be in the window at all times. But as my wife pointed out, all the snakes can be found under their heat lamps! We will definitely be back next time we're in Paris.

I'm giving this spot 4 stars based on the Childrens' City special section, which requires a…read moreseparate pass. This timed-entry experience is broken down into 2 sections; one side for 2-6 year olds and the other for kids 5-10 years old. Our kids favorite thing to do here was the water play area, and the other spot where they could build forts. There were many games and interactive items. I wouldn't say a lot of this section was overly science. But my kids loved it. There is a nice playground near the museum but it was so hot, we didn't spend much time outside. This place is nice to escape the heat even if the air conditioning isn't overly strong.

This is when all the school kids were arriving. Luckily, we didn't really run into them because they weren't really at the exhibits. I guess they may have separate activity rooms for school trips. This science museum was pretty fun. I learned a few things and there were a good amount of interactive exhibits, including one social experiment, which I won't spoil for you. We spent about two hours there and pretty much explored the whole museum. Tip - the museum is a part of the Museum Pass. It's not quite in the city centre but only takes a quick 20-30 minute metro ride.
