Absolutely the best aquarium in Europe, possibly the world. The variety of animals and education here is incredible with a clear message of responsibility and learning. The "Journey of the High Seas" section was my personal favourite, with each display being large, clean, and mesmerising. The "Mankind and Shores" section was also good fun and probably more suited to children, with interactive touching pools, and sea lion shows. The only disappointing part is the Penguins. In comparison to other zoos/aquariums, these penguins were filthy, smelled terrible, and were not enjoying their enclosure. This was my second visit to Nausicaa and certainly won't be the last!

Aquarium really beautiful. Small guide given at the entrance to facilitate the visit with a stroller (or for people with reduced mobility). Many staff available during the visit.
