Description: An
excellent
marine
life centre on the seafront in Brest. This is a big centre
with three different climatic zones offering many opportunities for
hands on experience of sea creatures and close encounters - you
really do get close to the marine life here!. Prices are very
reasonable.
Our recommendations: This is an excellent place for a rainy day.
However, we recommend getting there early as there is a good half day’s
entertainment. On nice days you can finish your day with a few
hours on the adjacent beaches or marinas, or
take a boat trip to the Ile d’Ouessant, situated one hour to the west
of Brest. Once there you can get around by bike or minibus.
For the children: What can we say,
Oceanopolis is designed for them! |
