SCI HAOUTH

An amazing hidden gem of a place!! Absolutely loved it! This place has it all! From immersive 4D experiences surfing and traveling under water with sharks to learning about the ancient Polynesian rituals of surfing, a stunning 40 min film on the Blue Whale 🐳 I left this place with a head full of ideas and feel like I’ve learned so much! Great for adults, families and elderly alike! Totally worth it. Bonus: if you purchase your ticket at the till you can couple it with a ticket to the aquarium to reduce your overall cost ;) + there are some really nice surf and beach spots nearby totally underrated by tourists! Enjoy!!

It was fairly free. 2hrs to 3 hrs for the visit. Great experience for someone who has not experienced scuba diving or surfing. Fascinating history of surfing and informative documentary with great interactive technology.

Was greatly disappointed by the fact that in all the exhibits and all the videos and everything I experienced, there was not a single female or a person of color on film/talking. Apparently everything in the ocean is done by white men? I just think it’s pretty sad in the year 2026 to have a whole place devoted to learning about the ocean and only have one type of scientist represented. As a female and a scientist I was offended. The lines for everything were long. The VR headsets were all foggy and difficult to see anything in. In the bathysphere experience plastic whips your legs and it hurts. Why on earth do they have the bathysphere break down ? What is th point of that? The headset actually fell off my head during the Seaborg experience. Too much shaking and turning over. Just show a nice 360 of the city without the jarring and flipping and crazy maneuvers! Definitely do not recommend.

Go on a weekday if you can. The museum is pretty average, it’s mostly VR and surfboards hanging on walls. The Short VR movies are fun but the quality is outdated. They have this VR rollercoaster hidden in the back but it’s kind of lame, you just fly around the coast like you’re a drone. I feel like the place could be so much better. Save it for a rainy day if you have nothing else to do.

Good Programm for when it rains. Certain things you can only do once, like VR surfing, … but its really interesting and you will definitely learn more about ocean life and surfing.

I think is really worth to visit. Paid 15 euro for 2 adults and there is a lot do such as 3D and 4D virtual reality imagination video. I recommend to have the package with the aquarium in order to save money. City de l’ocean is about 30 min walk from the aquarium or easily bus 18 leaves you next to it ( I recommend to go by walk since is all ocean view ) Only upside down of the visit is you have to que for everything. Consider about 2h of visit

🌊🐠 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

Great fun,lots to do. Bit of a walk from aquarium if u buy combined tickets. Queue time was forever though,and boredom does kick in waiting ,but worth a visit and friendly staff 😊
