I don't reccomend anyone these days to go into a sealife anymore. It is litterally sickening to see what they are doing to the animals. If you look closely enough and know what to look for, you soon realize that most fish are sick. Their environments are put together by a little bit of rock and one or 2 plants. Every single ray had it's tail cut off (standard procedure in places like this, just look it up. These animals are vertebrates and feel pain just like we do), one was bleeding and hurt. There were 2 black tip sharks swimming the same circle 3 dozen times before I stopped counting. One giant sea turtle appeared from hiding, and disappeared right after taking a breath of air again. These animals seem to really love it there (irony turned off again). The absolute peak of absurdity was when it came to the penguins. A bunch of individuals put together standing all bored and fat, looking at ugly grey walls with dead eyes, standing on plastic and beton ground. Barely any person was in there. You can see every endlosure in less than 45 minutes. For that the 26 Euros per adult seems exeggerated. At the end of course you cannot leave without going through their...

Had free time before checking into the hotel, so I decided to spend an afternoon here with my wife, 6 yo and 3 yo. It was really engaging and immersive. All the staff comfortably switched between French English, and most had some Spanish too. It was around 80 euro for 4 of us. Massive range of fish and sea creatures. Really interesting emphasis on litter in our oceans, which needs to be highlighted more prominently. Displays are informative and show the outcomes if we don't change. Highlights were seeing the massive turtles in the big tank where the sharks are, and watching them being fed too so close. The penguin area is really interactive with loads of info and ways to view them and figure out who's who. Special mention has to go to Vito who took the time to show my girls the crabs and star fish in the interactive tank and had some really good stories and anecdotes related to the creatures found in rock pools. Another interesting part is the shark exhibit, where they allude to the Megolodon and compare to great white sharks from today. Most importantly, all tanks were clean, good size to fish ratio, and fish seemed healthy and...
