Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingFor a quieter visit, choose a weekday morning near the 9:30 opening, especially outside school-holiday periods. Aquarium de Paris is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., with last admission at 6 p.m.; Saturday also offers an evening opening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., with last admission at 8 p.m.
EntranceUse the entrance at 5 Avenue Albert de Mun in the Trocadéro gardens; Metro lines 6 and 9 serve Trocadéro, and line 9 also serves Iéna. Every visitor goes through security and bags are systematically inspected, so a timed ticket does not remove the security check. Suitcases, large bags, scooters and motorcycle helmets are prohibited; wheelchair users should use the exterior elevator to the left of the main entrance stairs.
PriceThe official benchmark shown here is 25 USD, while the GetYourGuide option is listed at 22 EUR, so the currencies are not directly comparable. Check the final checkout total, currency conversion, and included terms before buying, as seller pricing and inclusions may differ.
DiscountsChildren under 3 enter Aquarium de Paris free. Visitors aged 3 to 12 use the child rate, while reduced admission is available with valid proof for eligible students, seniors aged 60 and over, job seekers, visitors with a disability and qualifying companions, and holders of the French Large Family Card; eligible children with a disability or French Large Family Card can also receive the reduced child rate. All visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and reduced-rate visitors should bring the required original proof of entitlement.

Planning your visit

Aquarium de Paris sits in the Jardins du Trocadéro at 5 Avenue Albert de Mun, in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, with the Eiffel Tower across the gardens. The venue is also associated with the names CinéAqua, Paris Aquarium, and Aquarium du Trocadéro; its history reaches back to the Exposition Universelle 1878. Inside, allow time for the Medusarium, Shark basin, Touch pool, Indo-Pacific coral reef, Mermaid show, and Fish feeding demonstration when they appear in the day’s programme.

A Timed entry ticket is useful when you want a selected visit time, while a Skip-the-line ticket may reduce the admission wait but does not remove mandatory security checks. Aquarium de Paris has Daily opening hours from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., with last admission at 6 p.m.; the Saturday Night opening runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., with last entry at 8 p.m.

For public transport, use Trocadéro metro station on lines 6 or 9, Iéna metro station on line 9, or RER C Champ de Mars. The route is Wheelchair accessible: a dedicated exterior elevator is to the left of the main entrance stairs, and the interior path is stair-free with accessible elevators.

Security checks apply to every visitor and bags are systematically inspected; suitcases, scooters, motorcycle helmets, and large bags are prohibited. A Combined Eiffel Tower ticket should be treated as separate from aquarium admission, while a Family pass is a product category to verify carefully because the available admission options and conditions can differ.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • Security screening is required for every visitor, and bags are systematically inspected, so admission can take longer during busy periods.
  • Suitcases, large bags, scooters and motorcycle helmets are prohibited; visitors refused for violating these rules are not entitled to a ticket refund.
  • Paid lockers are available for coats and permitted backpacks, but storage is an extra cost rather than part of admission.
  • Visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, so children cannot visit Aquarium de Paris independently.
  • Reduced-admission visitors must bring valid proof of eligibility; without the required document, the reduced rate may not be accepted.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Can I use a mobile ticket at Aquarium de Paris, and do I need a time slot?

Yes, online tickets can be presented digitally. A reserved time slot is needed to guarantee access, so keep the ticket and its booking details ready on your phone.

Can I cancel or get a refund for my Aquarium de Paris ticket?

Cancellation and refund terms are seller-specific and are not stated for these ticket options. Check the conditions shown at checkout before paying, especially if your plans may change.

Should I buy from the official seller or GetYourGuide?

The official ticket is the direct option and is currently shown as available. GetYourGuide may be useful when the direct option is not suitable, but its inventory is currently marked as limited; compare the final checkout total and inclusions.

Are bags checked at Aquarium de Paris?

Yes. All visitors pass through security and bags are systematically inspected. Suitcases, large bags, scooters and motorcycle helmets are prohibited, so security checks can still delay entry even with a timed or priority ticket.

What happens if I arrive late for my Aquarium de Paris time slot?

A time slot is used to guarantee access, so late arrival may affect entry. Follow the time shown on your ticket and contact the seller promptly if you expect to miss it, because late-entry terms are not stated for these options.

Do free or reduced-price visitors need a reservation at Aquarium de Paris?

Aquarium de Paris offers free admission for children under 3 and reduced rates for eligible visitors with proof. Reserve the appropriate visitor category in advance when available and bring the required proof of entitlement.

What is the main bottleneck when entering Aquarium de Paris?

The main entry bottleneck is the mandatory security process, including systematic bag inspection. Removing prohibited luggage before arrival helps avoid refusal at the entrance and keeps the queue moving.
