Interesting mixture of aquarium and maritime museum. History of fishing and whaling is important to show the impact these have had. Spread across 5 levels. Good for families with kids. A few documentaries where screened during our visit. Amazing views from the rooftop and upper levels. Restaurant and cafe were closed when we visited though. Museum shop on site with branded products for kids and gifts for adults.

I enjoyed this much more than I believe I would have! So much to see and it was not crowded so we could really take our time enjoying all the aquariums and displays. I learned so much!! Don't worry if you don't speak or read French, you can read the English translations. And bonus, there's plenty to see right outside the aquarium!

I have to say that I was a little disappointed considering the ticket price and what was to see . The brightest point of the visit were turtles and some nice tanks with sharks but the rest was a mediocre experience which is a shame . The aquarium is way too small to display all the beauty of ocean life and there is not much experience for the kids to get them really interested since they can only look but not interact . They get bored pretty quick . There is not much else to share here I am afraid . If you visited aquariums in different countries , you can see the difference , if not , then probably you might find this one interesting .

Kids really enjoyed it we went in august it wasn’t too busy and lots to see we were only there about 2 hours but was great value at less than £50 for 4 and saw things we have never seen before and sharks and rays were big and my little boy loved it

Very friendly staff at reception - the woman who served us was very gentil and kind, by far the kindest person I have met in the Basque Country so far. The aquarium was clean - they had a good display of the sea life and local history within their museum. I would say, that it is very similar to the Atlantis in Dubai. Although you can’t touch any of the sea life and the animation wasn’t great… Though I do recommend it.

The best aquarium we've visited, on a par with Monterey in California which is high praise.

This is the best aquarium we have ever visited. The tanks are large, very clean. All creatures look amazing. Spectacular views of the sea from different levels. Indigo carpark is not far away and reasonably priced. They also have a lovely museum of fishing practices and boats. All very well curated.

The highlight of the aquarium in Biarritz is undoubtedly the last floor, where you can find a mesmerizing display of tropical fish. While the initial floors primarily focus on fishing and whale-related information, I was hoping for a more extensive collection of marine life. Nonetheless, the experience remained engaging and there was no shortage of captivating sights to explore

Worth it for the price! Don’t miss out the seal feeding sessions (at 10:30 in April. 23) Lots of species A nice shark bassin Some big turtles And so on an so forth Quite instructive in some place (French speaker recommended though)

An absolutely wonderful view! I timed my trip perfectly with the 14th of July, and had the absolute pleasure of seeing the fireworks 🎆 show over the ocean! It was absolutely magical!

A really nice aquarium, many different fish and a lot of quantity per pool. Specially the shark tank is full! You can see it in 1 or 1h and half. I recommend it if you want to come to Biarritz, and do something little bit more special 😉

Got to see sea lions and many other fish and mammals. They do feed the sea lions at certain times per schedule. There is a giant tank with sharks, sea turtles and so so much more. Tons to see, very similar to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago but smaller. Place to eat and drink also. Highly recommended!

Very nice mid-sized aquarium right in the middle of Biarritz. Tickets are fairly priced. Good selection of displays including a large sized central fish tank and a seal enclosure. It was extremely busy when we went and the venue is completely enclosed and 98% of people were not wearing masks. Condensation all over the glass due to the amount of people inside and the lack of ventilation which means I give it 4 stars.

This area is a dramatic part of the coastline. There are some amazing photo opportunities. We visited during a period of high winds and strong tides. This made for a more exciting visit. There was lots of surfing and body boarding to add to the entertainment.

Plan to walk out to here at sunset if you can and you will be rewarded with some spectacular views and photo opportunities, but if you can not anytime is good to visit you still get good views and photos, this is a must do, it's free and wheelchair accessible, top tip keep your phone safe crossing the bridge it will be lost forever if dropped and the sea water splashs up t high tide.

Beautiful Place. Statue at the top is an amazing craft of art when you walk to the edge of this lovely place you'll have a wonderful view of the sea. I didn't have to queue and it was a public holiday so I'm sure you don't have to queue usually.

Nice place to see and enjoy the sea. And there were also busking singer and painter who sells his paintings. Although it’s crowded with many tourists who enjoy the view of sea, I visited here with the hope that the Virgin Mary would grant my earnest wish.

Very nice spot to enjoy views of Biarritz and its surrounds. Be sure to see the sunset around this area- it is truly spectacular!

So beautiful! Could not recommend taking the extra couple of minutes to walk out here! Especially during a subset!

Mandatory stop to take a photo! Free place to visit!

Beautiful place by day and night. Enjoy the views.

Nice viewpoint out into the Atlantic. Seeing the power of the ocean and what it has done to the rocks is breathtaking and well worth a visit

This is a nice and interesting place worth visiting. The only thing which is missing is the story behind this feature and how it came to exist and what is or was the purpose of it . It is free so enjoy .

Beautiful place to visit

Nice place to see the sun set over the ocean in mid-August. A beautiful shrine showing the devotion and respect of the local Basque

Nice place, interesting n many people come here to enjoy the beach n sun... i come here again after last 11 years old..and still like the old one...love to come here to enjoy the moment while in Biarritz... recommended to see n hang out with family or some friends.

Amazing rocky shapes. A place for photographs. Generally crowded but if you wait a while you get good pictures.

🌊🐠 Fantastic VR City Ocean in Biarritz! 🐋🐢 The virtual reality technology was mind-blowing and truly transported me to the depths of the ocean. 🌊🦈🐬 The marine life simulations were incredibly realistic, and I felt like I was swimming alongside the majestic creatures. 🌟🐙🦑 The staff was friendly and helpful, making the visit even more enjoyable. 🤩🏝️ If you're looking for a unique and immersive underwater adventure, this is the place to go with your family! Highly recommended! 👍🔥 #VRSealife #Biarritz #MarineMagic

Nice! The experience is memorable. The children liked the 3, 4 and 5D tours.

Good experience, especially for little ones

Good experience, kids oriented but adults can enjoy too (unless you are to bitter 😅) all VR experiences are good quality and entertaining and 3D documentaries are incredible.

Cool bowl to skate but concrete is damaged and the bowl is a bit inclined

Amazing educational experience. The VR 360° tours of the ocean are incredible, the interactive VR activities are very cool and the educational video on Antarctica is exceptional. We spent several hours there and it felt like we’d been there only minutes. It’s a brilliant day out and I would absolutely recommend it.

Nice museum with virtual reality. All attractions are suitable for kids from 4 y.o.

Some great activities such as 5d movies and virtual reality surfing and diving amongst sharks. A bit of a wait though , even if not really packed. A good day out on a raining day.

So much fun!! Even for 4 adults! Really recommend

Surprised by the total score on this attraction. We almost didn't go because of that. But it rained... A lot... And we had to keep busy... So we booked it online, and really enjoyed it! 5 of us, including 3 students of 14, 20 and 22 years old. Really liked the 40 minutes movie Antarctica, and the virtual trips amongst the sharks and other sea animals. Very relaxing. The attraction 16 "Seaborg" was great too. Not impressed by the attraction 15 "Surf sensation 5D"though... Didn't really get what was the point of it... For me, not worth the wait... Everything else was great. Had lunch on site. Simple but good. Ended up spending 4 hours there. Definitely very good value for money! Thank you!

They do not allow kids 5yrs and younger. So we arrived and have to go away, because they have nothing to propose for us

Arrogant staff. If you are an american dont come! They will not let you in without QR. Although depends on the staff. Some will let you in and some no…. What a fairness.

Such a cosy casino, right?! Great views but awesome staff. Avoid the blackjack computer table and teturn after 8pm for the real table action! Would go back!!

Casino Barrière is a well-known casino and entertainment complex, offering a mix of gaming, dining, and live shows. Located in various cities across France, it provides a vibrant and exciting atmosphere for those looking to try their luck at the tables, enjoy fine dining, or experience thrilling performances. A popular destination for entertainment and nightlife in France.

Closed due to COVID restrictions, but sure it will be back as soon as possible, great looking building on the seafront area

Very good place to be and very close to Biarritz beach.

A promising exterior surrounded by a stunning Biarritz beach vista. Inside, be prepared to present your passport (ex-Europe) to enter. I was relaxed/lulled to sleep by the utter lack of music played. Staff were relatively friendly, drinks were relatively well priced and relatively good. However, surrounded by the silence of the casino and silence of the other patrons, I was underwhelmed. FYI no dress code.

Very classist staff... I believe that they think that we are still at tge beginning of the 20th century. We will never be back. Very expensive and average staff

This is a very nice and cosy casino. It has spectacular views of the beach. The experience is very authentic but there are also electronic games for those who prefer it. There is no specific dress code as it is in a beach town. However, this is a fancy town, so make sure you look good even in beachwear.

When I came here Tuesday afternoon, there were 2 men who had repertoire with orgel (pipe organ) and trumpet. Very beautiful. The vitraux (stained glass windows) are very nice with beautiful colours. Not so far from point view and Rock of the virgin

Nice church in the centre of Biarritz. Clearly acknowledges its links to the sea with a ship above the aisle and a surfboard. Unusual but poignant.

Very touching atmosphere of the place, impressive processions of saints and kings on the left wall and saintes women on the right

Preciosa iglesia católica Neogótica en el centro de Biarritz, vale mucho la pena entrar a ver si interior ! ⛪️ Beautiful Neo-Gothic catholic church in the center of Biarritz, it is very worth going inside to see if it is inside!⛪️

Another great church worth a visit, beautifully kept and lovely stained glass windows, be sure to pop in.

The Church of Santa Eugenia is located in the homonymous square, overlooking the ocean. It was built in 1898 in the place where stood the ancient chapel of Our Lady of Mercy and was finished in 1903. It is in Roman-Byzantine style.

Absolutely beautiful ..... I recommend

Nice from outside but not as nice as Nice's Orthodox church.

Seen from the outside, looks ok but not so interesting. The thing is, they only open the entrance for a period of two to three hours, if you want to visit. I thought the house of God should be always open to receive the faithful. ...

It was closed the day I visited (reconstruction works)

I agree that it is badly in need of repair. Surely the Moscow Patriarchate has the means to help?

Fantastic place !!!!

(Translated by Google) Nice Orthodox church. I am happy to know that it is going to be restored and that they have made it cultural heritage. It dates back to 1890. It was explained to us very well by the guy who was there of Ukrainian origin and who spoke with my wife in Russian (she is from there). We will return without a doubt. (Original) Bonita iglesia ortodoxa. Me alegra saber que se va a restaurar y que la han hecho patrimonio cultural. Data del 1890. Nos lo explicó muy bien el chico que estaba allí de origen ucraniano y que hablo con mi mujer en ruso (ella es de alli). Volveremos sin duda.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful temple, built by the Russian nobility in the 19th century, preserved by Russian emigrants in the 20th century... Thank God, money was found for restoration, which means at least the building will be preserved. But our plans to go to church services had to be cancelled. We decided to go to the temple and find out how the life of the community is going now and the conclusions are sad. The head of the community takes an open Russophobic position. He very nicely and politely said that Russians were not welcome here, and proudly announced that the word “Russian” Orthodox Church had been removed from the name of the temple. They don’t accept money from Russians, donations apparently either)). What is this? Did belonging to the Patriarchate of Constantinople play a role? Or the fact that the head of the community is from Ukraine, where “there is no nationalism”? The nice French were not allowed inside when we were there. Yes, everyone is smiling and polite, but how can you not let them into the temple?? Anthony of Sourozh once told a man who did not allow a lady without a headscarf into the temple that he must now spend his whole life (!) praying for the woman for whom he may have blocked the path to God. God sometimes sends rain so that a person enters the temple. And you decide not to let him in? We said goodbye to Pavel sweetly and left, realizing that we would not return. It’s a pity that the abbot was not there; it would have been interesting to know his point of view. But apparently the Lord ordered it so that he was not there, and we immediately learned everything we needed. Honestly, I cried all the way home. Where is the world heading? I will console myself with the thought that this is the point of view of a particular person, to which he, of course, has the right, and there is no blessing from the abbot for all this... (Original) Красивый храм, построенный русской знатью в 19 веке, сохранённый русскими эмигрантами в 20 веке... Слава Богу, нашлись деньги на реставрацию, значит, сохранят хотя бы здание. Но наши планы сходить на службу в храм пришлось отменить. Решили зайти в храм и узнать, как проходит жизнь общины сейчас и выводы грустные. Глава общины занимает открытую русофобскую позицию. Очень мило и вежливо рассказал, что русским тут не рады, с гордостью сообщил, что из названия храма убрали слово "русская" православная церковь. Деньги от русских не принимают, пожертвования видимо тоже)). Что это? Принадлежность к константинопольскому патриархату сыграла свою роль? Или факт, что глава общины - из Украины, где "нет национализма"? При нас не пустили милейших французов внутрь. Да, все с улыбкой, вежливо, но как можно не пустить в храм?? Антоний Сурожский однажды сказал человеку, который не пустил в храм даму без платка, что тот теперь всю жизнь (!) должен молиться за женщину, которой он, возможно, закрыл путь к Богу. Бог иногда посылает дождь, чтоб человек зашёл в храм. А Вы решаете его не пустить? Мило попрощались с Павлом и уехали, понимая, что уже не вернёмся. Жаль, что не было настоятеля, было бы интересно узнать и его точку зрения. Но видимо так Господь распорядился, что его не было, а мы сразу все, что нужно, узнали. Честно, проплакала всю дорогу домой. Куда катится мир? Буду утешать себя мыслью, что это точка зрения конкретного человека, на которую он конечно имеет право, и благословения настоятеля на это все нет...

The perfect place to spend summer!

Beautiful beach on the edge of the old town. Slightly more protected than the main beach where the surf and waves can be quite powerful. Picturesque!

Great place to view a full moon over the port, if you time it just right (or are very lucky) to be there on such a night, walking through mostly deserted streets down to the Plage du Port Vieux, just you, the ocean, and a great big moon low in the sky… 🌝

Beautiful

Beautiful

Worthwhile to walk through once you’re in Biarritz but it’s fairly small and don’t expect anything special

My favorite place in Biarritz to spend some time. This beach is beautiful the vibes are awesome and the sunsets here are unreal.

Pleasant small beach with gravel, so the water is very clear and the soil in the water is clearly recognisable. There aren’t many waves, which make this beach very relaxing. You can chill in the cold salty waters of Biarritz. Not to forget a great place for kids. There is a small deck, where kids or even adults can jump into the water. And a great bar is also not far from the beach. Note that this beach can get very crowded . 4 star ⭐️

It looked so nice, clear water, lively mood.

Crowded fun and very enjoyable beach ! Two cafes for drinks and refreshments, and public toilets.

The cutes and the smallest bag I ever seen Such a romantic place

Large collection of Asian Sculptures, paintings, stamps, coins, jewelry, tapestries, carvings. Good for kids and adults. Tables and desks for sitting down to read the multilingual information (English, French, Spanish) or view the exhibits. Hopefully some or all will be replicated and the originals can go back to their home countries where they belong.

Very kind and helpful staff, lots to see and detailed guides in a few languages 🙂

Extremely interesting, many real masterpieces! Of course to join with spirit of this museum is very helpful to have at least a little knowledge about philosophy and religious values of presented culture. With pleasure I would like to visit ones again.

Incredible exposition. All items were very well explained on the book they gave me at the entrance. The attention of the staff was super great! 5/5

Amazing collection of priceless pieces. Very interesting and staff are very friendly, helpful and informed. Would definitely recommend

Fascinating and original museum. A must see.

Small but lovely museum with superb collection, well worth a visit!

(Translated by Google) Mass at the time of my visit, so didn't have time to fully appreciate the interior. It seems to me to be a very beautiful organ with a pretty cool organist. As for the exterior, a beautiful, fairly simple ensemble with a strange pretty bell tower. Cemetery left “country” with beautiful tombs.

(Original) Superbe église. Comme tout lieu de culte : mariage, baptême, messe dominicale, funérailles, cette église biarrotte est à visiter. On peut surtout s'y recueillir...

Collection of pictures, posters, clothing and other artifacts detailing the 1000 year history of Biarritz. It is in the converted Anglican Church ans features only part of the material assembled from donations of the major families of Biarritz since 1980 when it was founded. Some English information provided. Could benefit from more displays and additional space. Parking is a challenge.

Es interesante pero pagar 6 eur la entrada a un museo de una planta me parece excesivo. (Translated by Google) It is interesting but paying 6 euros for entry to a one-story museum seems excessive to me.

Small and not well organized museum. Although the building that used to be an Anglican church is beautiful.

Friendly staff, interesting pieces and good information provided

Avoid the museum if you don't speak french. also the museum is actually just one room so €6 for the ticket seems unjustified.

Pretty awful and not accessible to non French speakers.

Excellent place to discover a little history of Biarritz

(Translated by Google) Small private museum. Interesting on the history of the small village of Biarritz (history, sport, fishing, etc.). Very focused on the period of the Second Empire. In an old church. Only one room (but large: the nave of the church). Please note: no toilets available to visitors. At the entrance, a beautiful wall engraved with the names of the UK soldiers who fell in these places during the Napoleonic campaign in Spain. (Original) Petit musée privé. Intéressant sur l’histoire du petit village de Biarritz (histoire, sport, pêche, etc). Très orienté sur la période du second empire. Dans une ancienne église.

A l’entrée beau mur gravé des noms des soldats du RU tombés en ces lieux durant la campagne napoléonienne d’Espagne.

(Translated by Google) For such an emblematic city, the lack and staging of works is staggering.

Mis à part le lieu et quelques objets intéressants, il serait grand temps d'investir dans ce " musée"

Beach in Biarritz towards the lighthouse very strong waves no sandy beach rather very small pebbles yet a nice place to relax

Bonita playa situada en la ciudad de Biarritz, País Vasco Francés, Francia. Nos tocó ver el atardecer. No estuvo muy despejado, pero aún así fue muy bonito verlo. Una ciudad que enamora, y unas vistas desde el paseo increíbles. Volveré en cuanto pueda, ya que queda muy cerca de España. (Translated by Google) Nice beach located in the city of Biarritz, French Basque Country, France. We had to watch the sunset. It wasn't very clear, but it was still very nice to see. A city that you fall in love with, and incredible views from the promenade. I will return as soon as I can, since it is very close to Spain.
