    • Aquarium of Vendée, a visit open to groups in Vendée

      The atmosphere is almost magical with the colorful fish of various shapes and sizes swimming peacefully before your amazed eyes! Composed of 60 aquariums bringing together more than 5000 animals, the Aquarium of Vendée presents nearly 400 marine species gathered in 2,000,000 liters of sea water. Book your ticket whenever you want, it is open all year round, even on public holidays, located in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire in Vendée.


      Vendée Aquarium, an amusement park accessible to school groups

      What a great idea to introduce young children and teenagers to the wonders of the marine world! Responsible and educational , the Vendée Aquarium allows everyone to better understand the importance of preserving species and the environment, through a rich and exciting trail presented in the form of a treasure hunt. Equipped with a photo folder, the little ones must find the right animals in the pools, while a questionnaire is filled out as the visit progresses using the descriptive sheets for each species. Activities and workshops complete the visit with feeding the animals, but also appropriate themes such as "sharks, endangered species", "what is a fish" or "the sea at your fingertips". Older children also have the privilege of having a behind-the-scenes tour accompanied by a biologist technician who will reveal all the secrets of how an aquarium works.


      Vendée Aquarium, a personalized group welcome

      There are many opportunities to dive together into the unique and incredible world of the seas and oceans. Family gathering, day out with friends, team-building with colleagues or educational outing for an association/retirement home... the Vendée Aquarium opens its doors for all these exceptional moments. Guided tours and behind-the-scenes tours are available to groups of 10 people for seniors, and 20 people for the general public, with a feeding package added if the number of participants exceeds 30. Find out more, your child's birthday can also be organized in a unique marine setting surrounded by the wonders of the seabed! Treasure hunt, feeding, gift giving and snack, the day will be memorable for him and his guests (the cake is not included in the package).
