Aquarium de Lyon

Aquarium de Lyon, Public aquarium in La Mulatière, France.

The Aquarium de Lyon is a public facility in La Mulatière with numerous tanks displaying hundreds of fish species. The exhibition spreads across multiple levels and shows animals from waters around the world.

The aquarium opened in the early 2000s and brought a new form of marine education to the Lyon region. This opening was significant for giving visitors a place to learn about aquatic life.

This facility serves as a gathering place where families discover the lives of aquatic animals and their habitats together. Visitors walk through different zones and learn how creatures adapt to the varied conditions found around the world.

The facility is easy to reach by public transport and sits not far from central Lyon. Visitors should note that it is open Tuesday through Sunday, and can become crowded on certain days.

The building was designed to recreate very different environments within its walls. Each zone has its own lighting and temperature that match the natural conditions where those animals live.
