museum aquarium de nancy

Some great exhibits... No English though.... and staff at the aquarium could not speak English Short walk from all the main attractions.

really enjoyable museum, and especially useful if you have young children that you want to keep busy. Even for adults it is a nice way to pass time.

Over 60's only 2.20 euros for a really good aquarium and animal museum.Really good way to spend a couple of hours.

This aquarium is well worth a visit, especially if you have the Nancy Six Museum Pass (only 10 Euro).The tanks are amongst the best we have seen, and we've seen a few. Fastidiously clean tanks, and much work has gone into the creation of perfect little aquatic worlds.Upstairs there are a lot of stuffed animals, which may not be to everyone's taste, but the aquarium is well worth a visit in its own right. Take an extra 5 minutes to stroll around the adjoining garden if the season is right.

The aquarium had some animals that i had never seen. There were massive hippos and walruses in the museum which made it so fascinating.

I went yesterday with my kids, age 8 and 12. They LOVED it. They are used to going to large Aquariums in the US but rated this one as excellent. We spent there a little more than one hour, and they were excited and happy the whole time. There are very special and interesting fish. Very interesting for adults too. My daughter told me "mommy, you said this was not going to be as good as the New England Aquarium in Boston. You lied to us"! I agree with her. So, although it is a small aquarium, I strongly recommend it.

I love aquaria - I know I can find them near oceans or seas. But here's an aquarium in the North Eastern part of France - no sea to be seen - and bang in the middle of the city. Ehh? So we went there and were amazed. The tanks on offer may be on the small side but they were ever so clean and, more important, the corals are colourful and look very healthy - a truly good sign. Kudos for this museum! The entrance fee is way below the price you have to pay in the 'famous' aquaria and your children will absolutely love the marine life on offer. You will too. Well worth a visit!

I loved this aquarium, and so did my four children. An excellent little find but a little off the beaten track. From the outside you would be forgiven for thinking you were at the wrong building as it looks more like a council office than a tourist attraction. Once inside, although small as mentioned by other reviews, the displays were very well kept and contained some unusual specimens. Upstairs was a wonderful natural history display well worth a visit in its own right. A perfect place to while away a few hours.

This is a different kind of museum than most you see in Nancy, or all of France for that matter. The tanks of tropical fish were interesting but small. The other stuffed animals on display would be neat if you like that kind of thing. My favorite part was the incredible flower gardens outside right next to the museum. Every color you can imagine! Good thing to see once, but I wouldn't frequent.

This aquarium is well worth visiting. It is not expensive and there is a lot to see in a small location. The tanks are very well maintained and the fish and the plants are in excellent condition. There is a good range of different fish to see and the amount of information provided is just about right; not too much and not too little. Upstairs there is a quirky collection of stuffed animals and birds which we found very interesting. There was also a photographic exhibition downstairs which we enjoyed.

Good exhibition although part of it was not available, but the "visitable" part was great. Not just water "creatures", but on second floor a reazonable amount of other species.

The tanks are too high, the explanations are so-so. Not my favourite aquarium, by any stretch. The foot stools provided for the kiddos do compensate somewhat, but don't hold your breath for something special. The big tank at the end is cool. The exhibit upstairs, with actual stuffed animals, gave my 3-year-old nightmares. The days of taxidermy are over. It looks a bit too much like a science classroom.

Unbelievable shapes and colors swimming for bewitched spectators in the ground flour aquariums... The mystery of dawn at all seasons revealed by the photo exhibit in the first floor.A small museum: a great place...

Были научены опытом, что музей работает с большим перерывом и могут быть очереди. Лучше посещать до обеда. За 2 часа можно успеть рассмотреть детально оба зала.Рекомендую взрослым без детей тоже.
