AQUARIUM BIARRITZ
Activities: We visited the Aquarium de Biarritz with our 2 and 5 year old children. We explored the 5 floors, seeing the octopus, the turtles, and the underwater view of the seals. We also attended the seal feeding, which takes place at 10:30 and 17:00. We spent around 1h30 there
Highlights: The children were impressed by the octopus, and Miss B loved the other aquariums with moray eels, sharks, and clownfish. The seal feeding was the highlight; 'Each seal has a name and a character all of its own.' The 5 year old loved it. One seal only accepts food if given by hand ✨
