Parents heading to Paris may be more excited about viewing the art on display in the Louvre Museum than their children. As a result, the family will want to pile into their car rental in France so that mom and dad can take the kids to the Paris Aquarium afterward.

On a visit to this site, travelers will see more than 10,000 fish and other sea creatures. Inside the facility, families can get to know what life is like beneath the waters of the Seine, or view coral and cardinal fish that can be found in the Mediterranean Sea.

One of the aquarium’s most exciting exhibits is the Shark Tunnel, where visitors pass through an underwater cathedral as more than 24 sharks swim all around.

Beyond simply observing sea life, people of all ages can interact with it at the aquarium’s touch pool. Travelers who are looking to broaden their knowledge of life under the waves can also take in a live show or documentary film at one of the facility’s theaters.

After a trip to the aquarium, families can continue their day of water-themed fun by taking their car rental in Paris to the starting point of a boat tour of the Seine.
