Aquarium de la Guadeloupe was closed for renovation and has reopened in 2018! What does it look like now?

 

The museum has done some major upgrades!! For instance, there’s ENGLISH!!! There’re now mini screens next to each exhibition group. It is a lot easier to understand what’s going on than before.

What I love about the upgrade is the interactive exhibitions! Having a legit reason to crawl under exhibitions is fab 😛

Shark tank is one of the aquarium’s highlight. However, the sharks are not exactly the ferocious type. LOL They sleep for 18 hours a day wahaha. They don’t need to move around to breath, so unlike other sharks, they can really just stay still and sleep. And man, they stay still.aquarium-guadeloupe-review-reopen-5168.JPG

If you want to see them in action, it is better to plan your trip during the feeding time. Plus, there’s a small presentation (French and English)! These sharks only get fed twice a week.

Although this aquarium is tiny, it managed to add a touching pool! I love touching pools wahaha. I promise that I touched each creature gently. Nothing crazy like in Finding Nemo 2.aquarium-guadeloupe-review-reopen-5341.JPG

I guess if you don’t read all the displays, this is an 1 hour visit sort of aquarium. Otherwise, I recommend 3 hours and bring your own drinks. There’re benches and resting area, but no vending machine or cafe inside the aquarium!

There are some shy creatures that you need to hang around to see them. LOL

  1. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something.

    bit, but other than that, this is fantastic blog.
    A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

  2. I am not positive where you are getting your
    information, however great topic. I must spend some time studying more or working out more.

    Thanks for excellent info I was in search of this info for
    my mission.

  3. No matter if some one searches for his required thing, therefore
    he/she needs to be available that in detail, so that thing is maintained over here.

  4. My brother suggested I may like this website. He used to be entirely right.
    This put up actually made my day. You can not believe just how so
    much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

  5. Hi just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you
    know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
