SEA LIFE Paris Val d'Europe: a journey to the heart of the oceans

Just a few minutes from Disneyland Paris, SEA LIFE Paris Val d'Europe offers a fascinating immersion into the marine world. With penguins, sharks, turtles and tropical fish, this aquarium in the Île-de-France region is the perfect day out for families visiting the area, whilst raising awareness among young and old alike about the importance of ocean conservation.

A journey through the world’s oceans

Located in Serris, within the Val d’Europe shopping centre, SEA LIFE Paris Val d’Europe invites visitors to discover over 350 marine and freshwater species on an immersive 2,500 m² journey. The experience begins in the waters of the Amazon before taking visitors to tropical coral reefs, the French coastline and the polar landscapes of Antarctica. Throughout the visit, themed tanks, educational activities and interactive areas allow visitors to learn more about the riches of the aquatic world.

Unforgettable encounters with marine animals

One of the highlights of the visit is undoubtedly the spectacular 360° underwater tunnel, where sharks, rays and fish swim overhead. The aquarium is also home to the famous green turtles Nathan and Tao, who are particularly popular with the public, as well as a colony of king and gentoo penguins. Opened in 2017, the penguin enclosure is now one of the site’s iconic attractions and one of the few facilities of its kind in the Paris region. Visitors can also observe seahorses, jellyfish, moray eels, clownfish and the fascinating common octopus, renowned for its exceptional intelligence.

Beyond discovery, SEA LIFE Paris Val d’Europe places environmental awareness at the heart of its visitor experience. Daily activities, guided feeding sessions and interactive areas help visitors better understand the challenges of protecting the oceans and marine biodiversity. Younger visitors particularly enjoy immersive experiences such as ‘The Magic of the Tides’, inspired by the Normandy coastline, or the digital displays that make the visit both fun and educational.
