Create an itinerary including Oceanographic Museum of Monaco
Housed in an architecturally impressive building which teeters on a cliff edge looking out to sea, Oceanographic Museum of Monaco offers educational marine exhibits in an opulent setting. Home to the Mediterranean Science Commission, the museum provides exhibits that will delight young and old. Highlights include the shark lagoon with its 6 m (20 ft) glass walls, where you can see blacktip reef sharks, nurse sharks, sea turtles, and moray eels. Move through the museum to see the turtle island and the tactile pool, which gives kids a chance to touch the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean.

  • Must visit place. I’ve travelled a lot, and it’s a first place with a crystal clean aquarium glasses, which makes a huge difference in perception of wonderful sea creatures. The adventure atmosphere is in every museum corner. Before visiting, please check in advance the main exhibition and 3d adventure open hours. Enjoy!
  • Best aquarium I have ever seen! Way way better that the one in Barcelona! Would recommend to everyone. Make sure you go at the top floor terrace after you are finished to see a great view on the city of Monaco! 5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • Amazing place with varieties of sea life & endangered species. Best collection of corals I have seen till date. The turtle floor is very interesting & informative. The immersive experience is amazing. The location is top notch with a great view of the Mediterranean sea 😀 Totally worth a visit.
  • A nice aquarium with mostly small fishes display. Very nice terrace area and outdoor display of the sea turtle with beautiful view of the sea right next to it. Museum is full of information and interesting design as well. Worth a visit in Monaco but have seen better one before.
  • Super place! This is a great museum with huge aquariums with a great variety of sea life on show (downstairs). There is also a natural and general museum on level 1&2 that are pretty interesting. Not world class but very good. Level 3 has a reasonable panoramic view of Monaco and restaurant. The signage between each level especially finding the stairs to L3 is pretty poor surprisingly? Well worth a visit for 2-3 hours. €12 for adults, group rates available. Wheelie friendly and audio and real guides available.
