Aquarium-Museum & Maison de la Science: variety and exceptional experiments!
- The Aquarium: an invitation to discover aquatic fauna
The aquariums in the "Biodiversity" and "Sharks and Coral Reefs" section are true windows to the aquatic world. Throughout the visit, the visitor encounters species from waters all over the world! To learn more about the different animals presented in the aquariums, an online information resource has been set up. Free and educational, Fishipedia accompanies you throughout the visit.
- "Créatures EXTRAordinaires" (Extraordinary Creatures) – From myth to reality, from reality to myth.
Mythological and legendary animals derive their original characteristics and superpowers from nature. This exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to create their own EXTRAORDINARY creature. This is an opportunity to learn incredible anecdotes and facts about the animals that underlie myths, legends, fairy tales and folklore from around the world. Not accessible on the 1st Sunday of each month.
- Treasures in a museum?
The "TréZOOr" room contains remarkable cultural objects, witnesses of great scientific, historical or artistic value, illustrating the history of natural sciences, such as the fabulous Blaschka - filigree animal models made out of glass - or now extinct species such as the migratory pigeon and the Tasmanian wolf...
- Maison de la Science: spreading science!
Visitors set out to discover the science hidden in their everyday lives! They can carry out experiments himself, look at the collections of scientific apparatus, produce rain in the augmented reality sandbox or make the sun shine... During the visit, a scientific animator takes them on a journey of fascinating science and allows them to make surprisingly playful and didactic discoveries!
- The "Planetarium", gateway to the vastness of the universe

From the cycle of the seasons to the constellations, via space exploration, animations and videos - discover our solar system in a spectacular way. This activity is available only on Wednesdays (at 3pm), on weekend & holidays (at 10:30am and at 11:30am) and during school vacations (on the days of the week – at 10:45am & 12:15am & 2pm & 4pm).
