La Caverne D'Ali Bonbon, Children's museum in Bonifacio, France
La Caverne d'Ali Bonbon occupies a natural limestone cave at the Bonifacio marina and features interactive displays along with educational activities designed for children. The cave's rock formations create a distinctive setting for hands-on learning experiences.
The cave originally served as storage for fishing nets, later transformed into a basin-style aquarium, and eventually became a children's museum in the 2000s. This evolution reflects how the location shifted from practical harbor use to educational purposes.
The space reflects Corsica's maritime traditions while offering hands-on learning experiences that connect children to local island life and coastal heritage.
The museum sits directly at the marina and operates during the warmer months from April through October. Access is straightforward from the town center or from the nearby Figari Sud Corse airport.
The cave displays feature specialized exhibits surrounded by geological formations thousands of years old, which remain visible throughout the space. Visitors engage in learning activities set within this natural underground setting.
