Amnéville Aquarium: Self-Guided Audio Tours

As far as zoos go, Amnéville is somewhat unique. Private and independent, it receives no subsidies, and you get that personal feel while exploring its 45-acre animal kingdom. With as many as 2,000 animals and plenty of eye-popping shows, a trip to Grand Est's wildlife hub is a journey to one of France’s most biodiverse locations and an ideal excursion for animal watching with the family.

Lovers of marine life will be able to share in over 30 years of passion at the Amnéville Aquarium! Opened in 1989, the aquarium has seen more two million visitors pass through its doors and it continues to grow. Inside you’ll find 11 distinct areas, including a shark aquarium and a zen garden. All aspects of the life aquatic are covered, from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to the Indian Ocean and the waters around Hawaii’s islands. Keep an eye out for shark species, seahorses, jellyfish, piranhas, and many more inside! There's plenty for kids to enjoy too, from the touch tank to a play area. It's a great day for the whole family!
