Nausciaá is very easy to get to: Just 1h30 from Lille, 2h from Brussels and 2h30 from Paris and London, Nausicaá lies right at the heart of Europe!
See our ‘Opening times, access and recommendations’ page to find out more about the various possible means of transport for getting to the aquarium: car, train, boat, bike, bus and camper van.

Persons with reduced mobility can use the lifts to access the exhibitions:
• Access via the lift from the forecourt
• Specific signage
• Wheelchairs and pushchairs can be reserved at the information point subject to availability

We estimate that an independent, unguided visit will take between three and three and a half hours.
If you are pressed for time, choose the 1h30 guided tour, so that you don’t miss anything of Nausicaá’s showpiece areas!

Yes, there is free coach parking at Quai Thurot.
