This summer in Océanopolis, you can enjoy moments of conviviality and relaxation by having lunch on the terrace at Rest’O or in the gardens. You will also appreciate the freshness of our tour circuit and will attend numerous exciting activities accompanied by our scientific mediators.
The summer season being a very touristy period in Brittany, we will experience, like all stakeholders in Breton tourism, an increase in our attendance.
To allow you to benefit from a complete and comfortable visit to the site, we therefore recommend that you follow these 4 tips.

It is not necessary to arrive in advance, please respect the time slot chosen when making your reservation.
Finally, prefer morning visit slots, the site traffic is lower.
2 – visit on good weather or no rain days
To visit Océanopolis in the best conditions, we strongly recommend that you choose days with good weather or without rain.
In addition, our picnic and relaxation areas set up facing the sea allow you to pleasantly enjoy the gardens. Our pavilions offer you a welcome freshness in the heart of summer.

With its semi-covered terrace and its breathtaking view of the harbor of Brest, our restaurant offers you a menu of hot dishes or salads, homemade, based on local products, desserts, drinks, and children’s menus. Prefer to take your lunch break before 12 p.m. or after 2 p.m. for less crowds.
This summer the Rest’O is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

We provide you with relaxation areas in the heart of the Océanopolis gardens to allow you to enjoy your picnic outdoors.
