Buy your tickets online to save time<\/h2>\n\n<p>When planning your <strong>visit to the Oc\u00e9arium du Croisic<\/strong>, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/croisic.tickeasy.com\/fr-FR\/produits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buying your tickets online<\/a>. This will save you <strong>time <\/strong>on arrival and<strong>avoid queues<\/strong> at the ticket office. Alternatively, you should know that the last admission on site is allowed up to one hour before the Oc\u00e9arium closes (7 p.m.).  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Visit the Oc\u00e9arium in the morning, as soon as it opens.<\/h2>\n\n<p>To get the most out of your visit, we advise you to <strong>avoid peak periods<\/strong>, mainly between mid-July and the 3rd week of August. We recommend arriving early in the morning. The aquarium opens at 10 am. Avoid <strong>rainy days<\/strong>, too, as the aquarium is usually very busy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochelets.com\/cote-de-jade-que-faire-quand-il-pleut-a-saint-brevin-les-pins\">when it rains<\/a> (and yes, people fall back on indoor activities!).   <\/p>\n\n<p>Opening hours: 10am to 7pm from April to September inclusive (8pm in July and August). 2pm to 6pm in November and December. Annual closure in January.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Allow sufficient visiting time<\/h2>\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no ideal length for a visit to the Oc\u00e9arium du Croisic. The aquarium&#8217;s website announces <strong>a 1h30 visit<\/strong>, but <strong>take all the time you need<\/strong>! Several benches along the tour route allow you to sit back and contemplate the stingrays and sharks without seeing the time go by! <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Consult the calendar and timetable of events<\/h2>\n\n<p>Before your visit, make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on any of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocearium-croisic.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">activities on offer<\/a>, including octopus and penguin feeding, a presentation of Australian sharks, and augmented reality animations throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Pack a picnic lunch<\/h2>\n\n<p>It is not possible to eat inside the aquarium. However, a <strong>picnic area<\/strong> is located next to the site. Alternatively, 800 meters from the Oc\u00e9arium, on the port of Le Croisic, you&#8217;ll find a wide choice of restaurants, cr\u00eaperies and shops for eating out. Please note: <strong>all exits from the Oc\u00e9arium are final<\/strong>!   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. How do I get to the Oc\u00e9arium du Croisic?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Oc\u00e9arium is located on the Croisic peninsula, <strong>near the port of Le Croisic<\/strong>, 40 minutes from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochelets.com\/hebergement-camping-st-brevin\">campsite in St Br\u00e9vin, Loire-Atlantique<\/a>. If you&#8217;re coming by car, here&#8217;s the address to enter in your GPS: Avenue de Saint-Goustan, 44490 Le Croisic. The parking lot is free, but quickly sells out on busy days. There is a special area <strong>for motorhomes<\/strong>, but overnight stays are not permitted.   <\/p>\n\n<p>photo@mikezwei\/pixabay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A visit to the Oc\u00e9arium du Croisic is an incredibly enriching experience for the whole family, but it can also be frustrating if you don&#8217;t do your homework.
