The acquarium is beautiful and well maintained, the highlight of the show is Ingrid the mermaid, the only drawback is finding the entrance to the acquarium when coming from the Trocadero metro station.

Kids love it, too bad they can't feed the fish. There's a lack of interactivity with the children. They're not going to read the tablets with the names of the fish, why not an audio ppur interested!?!? And make the visit more interactive! Otherwise great time and visit, my son loved the Koi fish !!! See you another time.

The aquarium experience was a disappointment coming from Chicago, we knew it may not be quite as extensive and elaborate as the aquarium back home but we were not expecting that. It was dark inside and not a lot to see at all!!! You ca do that place in 20 mins and be done!!!! NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!! This is something that should be free to the public. You should not be paying to get into this location. The restaurant outside the aquarium is not a good place to eat at especially with all of pigeons/birds attacking you for your food!!!! And the taste was blah!!!! I was really disappointed in this aquarium!!! I would not recommend!

I enjoyed the visit but I have 2 comments to make. Firstly, how come I was charged 19.95 euros when it was indicated that I would be charged 19.50 euros. Secondly, I wasn't able to print out the ticket, which can be useful in the event of a problem with the phone.

Everything is very wonderful! A lot of interesting and unusual! I liked it very much! Brightly colored fish, moray eels, different types of carals, but most of all liked the section with jellyfish, mesmerizing! I didn't even realize that such unusual jellyfish existed, amazing! Thank you!

The stuff, including the ones that are cleaning the interior of the aquarium, are all very, very nice. But if you talk about the possibility of visiting with eldery or small children: lack of really good toilet for them, only theoreticly place is child and eldery friendly. Also, a child or a hendicap person cant see everything if there is a crowd. A few places more for sitting also are needed. It is great place for healthy people, but above 5 and below 60. And, the machines for snacks were not working too :[

There are few species of fish. And we're thinking of seeing a show with the mermaid. There was a storyteller but he started later than planned, so we decided to continue the visit as it was too long.

A very fine museum, with quality exhibits including playful discoveries for children. The major flaw was in the organization of the temporary exhibition: the video reports stopped at around 6:20 pm and we were asked to leave the museum at 6:45 pm. We'd like permission to come back and finish this temporary exhibition.

River cruise was a very nice experience (there was a snow storm that day and it was great to be under a roof and still enjoy the views around you). Our Eiffel Tower tour was rescheduled because of the weather conditions and the tower was closed that day. The customer service was really compliant and responsive and they rescheduled the tour really quickly. The instructions to the meeting points were clear and our guide in Eiffel was super friendly and helpful. Really recommend!!

The indications to enter the museum of the invaded incorrect, I had to go around the whole area, also I had selected another date for the louvre museum, but they assigned it to me for the same day and same time of the tour that n the river signs.

Everything is very good, the tour is worth it and the price is affordable. The first tour in the morning is emptier than the ones in the afternoon, you can get on and have more space. It would be better if there were previous indications of which point to board but arriving at the area they inform you.

There didn't seem to be enough seats for everyone on board. The noise people made every time we passed under a bridge was extremely annoying and off putting. It ruined the experience of a pleasant cruise on the Seine. Ignore the second box, had to tick something else to continue.

What made it unforgettable were the lines, too many people, too crowded,out of the 10 hours we were at the park more than half of us spent in line and then everything too expensive unfortunately, starting from the ticket and then the things to drink/eat.I can understand souvenirs, if I want them I have to pay for them at the established price, but eating and drinking must be more affordable since for my family I spent more than 400 euros I expect not to have to spend another 100 for first necessity
