This is a very well kept aquarium with a variety of sea life.

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.

Location is perfect, across the street from the Eiffel tower so you can do both in one day since…read morethe aquarium is small. Not really good signage outside or marketing. Thank god we had asked our concierge. For 20.50 euros, free for kids, you enter the aquarium with gold fish. Yes gold fish. It gets better with the main attraction being the large salt water aquarium where the sharks are. Also they have a huge koi pond that all kids had there grimy hands in, yuck. We didnt watch any movies but the whole thing lasted a little over an hour. My 4 year old thought it was cool. I did too especially the whole jelly fish section. They have a all you can eat sushi buffet for 25 euros but it smelled, well fishy. If you have time and kids, i would do this activity but not really worth it.

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.

Not a bad big city zoo. Admission is online with zoos of this caliber. Animals seem well cared…read morefor. Some unique animals not seen at every zoo (e.g., manatee). On the smaller side of larger city zoos. Not a destination zoo, but not bad if in area.

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.

The whole place needs improvement and more varieties of sea creatures like octopus, shrimp, crabs,…read moreetc. And also its very dark in most of the areas!
