Antibes Travel Forum

Hi,
I have some dilema choosing between to two.
is those places overlap in their experience?
i especially want to entertain my 1.y years old boy,
i afraid Marineland will be to big and overwhelmingfor him...
and on the other hand, i really would like to be in both places, but don't want to get bored if it is the same in some manners.

what do you think?
thanks

The attention span of a one year old is limited - moving objects, bright colours, strange shapes, sounds will hold it for a while. Realistically a one year old will be temporarily enetertained by any combination of these for a short time.

its a tough choice, both are nice. However, if I were to choose the oceanographic museum is tops, one of the best in the world,in my opinion.

As a one year old I have no recollection of anything I did or saw, and was probably more interested in playing with my food. I suggest you be selfish a moment and choose the one that most interests you. Marineland is aimed at Disney-level entertainment - the Musee Oceonographique is genuinely fascinating, accompanied also by the sights of Monaco. Personally i would choose the latter every time.

Hello,

I spent 1 we in Marineland of Antibes and I don't recommend to go here with a very young kid. The visit is excellent, shows too, ... but for adults and chidrens older than 5y as a minimum, it could be paintfull (sun, crowded, ...) for him and ... his parents as a consequence. Avoid the Sunday! (my advise)

For Oceanographic mus, I think interest for your kid is questionnable ... but it will be more confortable.
