Entrance Ticket Nausicaa, the biggest aquarium in Europe

1.Entrance Ticket Nausicaa, the biggest aquarium in Europe

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 1,135 reviews · 4 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $36Our pick

Visit Nausicaá in Arras with prepaid admission and spend about four to six hours among 58,000 sea creatures, 1,600 species, 85 aquariums, and 17 million litres of water. Expect giant manta rays, sharks, penguins, sea lions, educational displays, and a family-friendly route, but confirm how your voucher is exchanged for entry tickets.

“While it was interesting to see some of the species, Nausicaa was too crowded, warm and mostly really hard to orientate in. We could not find the most interesting expo easily, all the people waited in line for one restroom while there were more and it was not easily accessible with strollers or wheelchairs.”
