We took the Eurotunnel for a day trip and decided to visit Nausicaa. It took about 25 mins by car on the motorway.
I would definitely recommend paying this place a visit and will return if we are ever travelling through again. A great, facinating experience.

A great few hours!

Spent about 3 hours here, including a spot of lunch. The exhibits were well laid out & a free map gave you the route.
We all enjoyed it, including our 5 year old who loved the jellyfish & the reptiles.
