About

Explore the underwater world of one of Europe's largest private aquariums.

In the center of the city, facing the Old Port, discover one of the largest private aquariums in Europe.

During 1h30, visit the heart of the ocean, meet more than 12 marine animals, and let yourself be surprised by the biodiversity of the Atlantic, the Mediterranean or the Tropics.

Explore the underwater world: from fragile jellyfish to fascinating sharks, a unique journey to dream and understand the sea.

New for 2023: Activity book The secrets of colors in the ocean. This year, the Aquarium La Rochelle invites the whole family to discover the role of colors in the marine world. Through fifteen illustrated themes, combining scientific information and games, explore a shimmering universe where living beings are adorned with silver reflections or colorful shards. On sale on the Aquarium's website and at the cash desk.
