Appropriately located on the rapidly developing Confluent area, where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet, L'Aquarium Grand Lyon is an ideal weekend activity for the entire family! The 40 aquariums host about 5000 marine animals of 450 different species, amongst them are sharks, octopuses, rays as well as local wildlife species such as catfish and carps. The "sharks' wreckage", complete with a wreck boat, is quite a sight! L'Aquarium Grand Lyon is easy to reach via public transportation from the Bellecour or Terreaux areas and stays open on holidays. The aquarium is free for toddlers and offers discounts for children, students and large families.
