Booklets
A fun and educational visit
To help children learn more about the aquarium, an age-appropriate booklet is handed out at the entrance, so they can play games during their visit.
« Drop » booklet
The « Drop » booklet is designed for children aged 3 to 7.
This booklet is a support for children during the visit. It uses a detective game to help them observe the fish on the theme of shapes and colours.
Bubble booklet
The « Bubble » booklet is designed for children aged 8 and over.
It’s a fun way to find out more about the biology of fish and to investigate by finding clues along the tour route.
