Seaquarium Institut Marin — Attraction in Nîmes

It's a nice place to spend time with kids or anyone who's interested in underwater life. For 16€ for an adult, you can see sharks, rays, huge turtles, different fish, other sea creatures and seals. The place is full of information about sea life, endangered species, water pollution puzzles for curious minds. The day I visited the seaquarium, there was a quest for children : they got a task at the entrance and had to look for clues around the aquarium. So their time there wasn't just wondering around and watching fish. There's a parking next to it and a few places to eat. The photos I post can't show the real beauty of the place, so go and check it yourself 🤗

Family trip to Grau-du-Roi including the Seaquarium. Booked the tickets online and had the barcodes on the cell with me. There was no advantages however - express access is only opened when there are huge crowds. Had to stand in line with everybody else but still turned out to be Ok. Aquarium is actually a bit run down in comparison to other Sealifes or the Aquarium in Montpellier (Paint peeling off, items out of order - especially the outdoor mammals pool). We liked the VR experience rooms at the end as a modern extension of the otherwise comprehensive exhibition / aquarium.

Lovley aquarium with loads of exhibitions, and nice to have it catered for with English signage also. Reasonably priced. Seal viewing area lovley inparticular to just watch them. Had no idea times they were fed though :(

Highlight of the holiday was getting to stroke the sharks!

But it was super crowded initally, especially, sure people spread out as you explore (eventually), but initially it was over whelming the amount of people and prams and bags squeezed into small spaces... Was ready to leave and im not especially claustrophobic either.
