Marineland

Europe's biggest marine park, the famous Marineland theme park, was founded in 1970 in the exceptional setting of Antibes, on the French Riviera. Covering 10 hectares, it is home to around forty animal species including the killer whale, its mascot and star attraction. Marine mammals live alongside birds and reptiles from all over the globe. The huge aquariums exhibit many surprising specimens from all of the world's seas.

You will have a number of opportunities to meet the animals. Discover the sea lion's endearing personality. Have an unforgettable time playing with the dolphins, accompanied by their keepers. Be safely immersed in the water to see sharks and all kinds of sea-dwelling creatures. Get close to the killer whales and chat with their keepers. If you like, you can even take a guided tour, alone or in a small group, to meet the animals with the park team.

Daily performances with killer whales, dolphins and sea lions invite you to admire their physical performance, skills and intelligence. After these impressive shows, the presenters and keepers are happy to answer visitors' questions.

Many more experiences also await you. Immerse yourself in the world of marine animals by watching a dynamic show in a 132-seat 5D movie theatre. Discover Antarctica, Marineland's penguin area, which is home to two particular species, king penguins and Southern rockhopper penguins. Enter the shark tunnel and tremble as you come face to face with these legendary creatures! Marvel at the tropical aquariums, admiring all types of specimens from starfish to green morays.

Through its teaching and educational mission, the team aims to share its passion for the marine world and its interest in the protection of aquatic habitats. The Marineland association helps the environment by working for the conservation of diversity, preservation of species (including the polar bear) and research (especially on the topic of cetaceans).

You can buy combined tickets for admission to fun neighbouring attractions: the Aquasplash water park and its 25 attractions, the Kid's Island children's amusement park, as well as the giant Adventure Golf crazy golf course, in Jules Verne's world of adventures.
