The Aquarium de Lyon is a public aquarium located in the La Mulatière district of the city of Lyon, France, near the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers in the Rhône department. Like the Aqualand parks elsewhere in Europe, it belongs to the Spanish group Aspro-Ocio.
Created by Maurice Chichportiche and opened in October 2002, the aquarium has 39 tanks with a total of more than 1,000,000 litres (220,000 imp gal; 260,000 US gal) of water, showing visitors 3,000 fish and other aquatic animals representing 300 species.
Both adults and children (even very young) will enjoy the aquarium. It features many different aquariums: in a first section visitors can discover life in different rivers of France, and then move to very exotic aquariums showing aquatic life in different environments : temperate waters, tropical waters, tropical seas. There is a huge tank for sharks.

Ok if you want to learn more on local fishes but nothing compare with the aquariums we used to visit in North America like the one in Toronto, Quebec City or Boston. Be good for young children. Best time to visit: Monday afternoon during school time.

Great display, but too small. Only there for a skant 2 hours and all in French so you cannot understand any of the information, even though their website gives an alternative of English.
