An experiential and sensory and journey for young and old
This Saturday July 6, 2024, discover a brand new visiting space designed for children aged 6 to 12.
Spread over 450 m2, 14 mediation facilities allow young audiences to enthral, observe, question, listen, imagine, touch, play, express themselves… and thus better understand the ocean and the importance of its rich biodiversity.
This experiential journey, a clever mix of digital and mechanical installations, has been designed for children aged 6 to 12. However, even the youngest visitors who cannot yet read are welcome in this space thanks to the illustrations and the accessibility of the explanatory panels and instructions.
