Lyon Aquarium
The Lyon Aquarium is a great family outing, especially on weekdays when it’s less crowded. That way you can enjoy the experience fully without being bothered by the crowds. Spread over several levels, the aquarium has an impressive variety of fish and other sea creatures to discover.
At certain times, a staff member gives talks that enrich the visit with interesting facts about the different species and their habitats. However, it’s a bit disappointing that a guidebook is sold for €4, which some visitors may find excessive. Also, unlike other aquariums, kids can’t touch many of the animals, which limits how interactive the visit is.
Despite these small drawbacks, the Lyon Aquarium is still a nice visit, especially during quiet periods, and an educational, enjoyable time for the whole family.
