Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

Most visitors should book a timed-entry ticket online to bypass the ticket-office queue, which can exceed 45 minutes on rainy days or weekends. While official peak prices for May 2026 are approximately €27.50 for adults, partner offers around €22 provide excellent value for the standard visitor route, including the shark tunnel and jellyfish exhibits, though all guests must still pass through the mandatory security screening at the Trocadéro Gardens entrance.

Decision matrix

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Mandatory security checks apply to all visitors regardless of ticket type; expect queues at the entrance during peak hours (11:00–15:00) and on rainy days.
  • Standard day tickets are not valid for the 'Saturday Night' event (19:00–21:00); a specific, higher-priced evening ticket is required for this slot.
  • Large luggage, suitcases, and scooters are strictly prohibited inside; cloakroom availability is subject to current Vigipirate security levels and may be closed, so travel light to avoid being refused entry.
  • Tickets purchased at the on-site ticket office are non-refundable and non-exchangeable; online 'Promo' tickets often offer lower rates but may have strict date-change fees.
  • No outside food or drinks are permitted within the aquarium circuit, and there is no dedicated indoor picnic area for families.
  • While children under 3 enter free, you may be required to present a valid ID or passport to prove their age at the control point.

Insider tips

4 things to know before your visit

  • Entrance: The main entrance is located at 5 Avenue Albert de Mun within the Jardins du Trocadéro. While timed-entry tickets bypass the ticket office queue, all visitors must pass through a mandatory security bag check. Suitcases, large bags, and scooters are strictly prohibited; the on-site cloakroom is frequently closed for security reasons and cannot store bulky items. For those with strollers or wheelchairs, a dedicated elevator is situated to the left of the main entrance stairs. To minimize wait times, arrive for a morning slot before 11:00 AM.
  • Price: Official adult tickets for May 2026 range from €22.00 for dated 'Promo' tickets to €27.50 for standard flexible entry, while children (3–12) are priced between €18.50 and €20.50. Admission is free for toddlers under 3. The €22 partner rates shown here align with official advance-booking discounts for specific time slots; however, be aware that Saturday night sessions—which include a glass of champagne or a soft drink—carry a higher official rate of €30.50 and typically require a dedicated evening-specific ticket.
  • Discounts: As of May 2026, children under 3 enter free of charge. Reduced-price tickets are available for children (3–12), students, seniors (60+), and job seekers; valid proof must be presented. Visitors with disabilities and their companions are eligible for specific reduced rates. All minors under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Note that standard discounts generally do not apply to Saturday night visits, which feature a flat rate. To guarantee admission, all visitors—including those with free or reduced-rate tickets—should book a timed entry slot online in advance.
  • Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my Aquarium de Paris ticket or can I use my phone?

Mobile tickets are fully accepted. You can show the QR code on your smartphone at the entrance; just ensure your screen brightness is turned up for the scanners to read the code easily.

What is the cancellation policy for Aquarium de Paris tickets?

Official tickets are generally non-refundable and non-exchangeable once purchased. If you require flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often allows for 24-hour cancellation, but you must verify the 'Free Cancellation' label on the specific offer before checkout.

What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?

Entry is managed via timed slots to control capacity. While a small grace period of approximately 15 minutes is typically allowed, late arrivals during peak periods like school holidays or rainy weekends may be denied entry or required to wait for the next available opening.

Are there lockers available for large bags or strollers?

Large suitcases and bulky luggage are strictly prohibited and cannot be stored on-site. While small lockers may be available at the reception desk for a fee (€6–€10), they are often restricted during high-security alerts (Vigipirate), so it is best to visit with only a small daypack.

Can I leave the aquarium and return later on the same day?

Yes, re-entry is permitted. You must ask a staff member at the exit desk to stamp your hand before leaving; presenting this stamp along with your original ticket allows you to re-enter the venue later that day.

Who qualifies for free or reduced-price admission?

Children under 3 enter for free without a ticket. Reduced rates are available for children (3–12), students, seniors (60+), and visitors with disabilities. All visitors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and valid ID is required for all reduced-price categories.

Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security check?

No ticket bypasses security. While online tickets allow you to skip the ticket office queue, all visitors must pass through the mandatory bag inspection at the Trocadéro entrance, which can take 10–20 minutes during busy weekend afternoons.

What is the best time to visit to avoid internal bottlenecks?

To avoid crowds at the popular touch pool and shark tunnel, book the first slot at 10:00 AM or visit during the Saturday night openings (19:00–21:00). Weekdays outside of French school holidays are significantly calmer than weekends.
