L'Aquashow — Attraction in Quimper

Very enjoyable. Set in the cute "sea-side" village of Audierne,this was better than I had expected. First off, there are the birds on display (yes - I know that this is an "aqua show" but I'll get to that in a minute) where you can see (and learn about) the white-tailed Eagle, the bald Eagle, the snowy owl (amongst others). Then there is the aquarium which has some amazing displays of fish and other deep sea creatures. As well as being jaw dropping incredible to look at, its also very educational. There is also a "petting pool" where you (and children) get to touch, and handle, starfish, rays , and other oddities. Then there is the "show". This is actually a bird show where the birds are shown and perform their feats right over your head. And these are the large birds such as the aforementioned bald Eagle. This is quite amazing, and very enjoyable. (Be warned - while the speal is very educational and entertaining, it is only in French.) All in all, a great outing for a family. (TIP - in camping grounds, etc, you can find the Aquashow pamphlet that includes a voucher for free entry...

Review from an irish, English speaking family with five children aged between 7 and 16. It's reasonably priced for an attraction when you include the bird show. Firstly there are plenty of ample free parking near the premises. We chose this aquarium as it was know for its bird show. Now although only a few, I must admit the birds they had were stunning and well kept. The overall aquarium experience is short, but my children highly enjoyed it.

I must warn though, that the bird show is not spoken in any form of English, so its impossible to know what's being said without knowing the language, for us that was only slightly disappointing but when thaught about also to be expected. that being said I could tell by it, that alot of information is given and several questions answered. It's obvious a lot of work has gone into training the birds and the show.

I'd highly recommend it to any French...

The main attraction here is the bird show. It's very impressive and entertaining. Unfortunately it's in French so we couldn't understand a thing. Check the times of the show before you go! Around lunch time there is no show. I do advise to go to the preshow at 14.30 (not sure what it's called). They show you some birds up close and you can even wear a glove and the bird will sit on your arm! Don't go here for the aquarium. It's unimpressive, especially if you've been to an aquarium with bright colored fish. The open aquarium where you can touch some fish is nice though. The bird cages are very small. The birds don't really have enough space to fly. The restaurant has a nice terrace overlooking the bay. The moules frites with roquefort sauce is...
