What's new for France in Summer 2018
The National Sea centre of France on the Opal Coast at Boulogne-sur-Mer opened a brand new state-of-the-art extension in spring 2018 which has made it one of the largest aquariums in the world - and it is spectacular.
Giant tanks fill the new space and we mean giant... the biggest contains 10,000 m3 of water! You’ll often spot divers in the tank cleaning the copious amount of glass while sharks, sea lions and fish of all sorts swim close by. With clever and innovative exhibits you get a real feel for what life is like under the ocean. With an astounding 58,000 creatures and 1,600 different species from sea lions and penguins to sharks (12 different types), cayman and every kind of fish - you'll discover a truly fascinating and awesome watery world where you can even get up close and personal with a huge touch pool!
If you’re travelling to or from Calais or Dunkirk, stop off and go see this awesome new aquarium, it’s fascinating for the whole family from the littlest kids to nana and grandad. And there's plenty to do in the town too!
