    Definitely worth a visit. Great for young and old alike. Went with my 2 and a half year old and he loved it almost as much as I did. Make sure to explore the three levels before choosing a car to ride in

    (Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful place, but the quality / price ratio is not very interesting, if one has no children to take there. You can admire the rides, but there is no explanation on their manufacture (except in the waiting girl!). Pity. (Original) C'est un très beau lieu, mais le rapport qualité / prix n'est pas très intéressant, si l'on a pas d'enfant à y emmener. On peut admirer les manèges, mais il n'y aucune explication sur leur fabrication (à part dans la fille d'attente !). Dommage.

    (Translated by Google) We are not from Nantes at all and we had planned to have our little boy do 1 round of caroussel on Sunday morning before leaving. What a disappointment for our little guy when he saw the gates closed when the site indicates that it is open. I think it is not very complicated to change the schedules on the site! (Original) Nous ne sommes pas du tout de Nantes et nous avions prévu de faire faire 1 tour de caroussel à notre petit garçon le dimanche matin avant de repartir. Quelle déception pour notre petit bonhomme quand il a vu les grilles fermées alors que le site indique que c'est ouvert. Je pense que ce n'est pas bien compliqué de changer les horaires sur le site !

    (Translated by Google) Again, a visit not to be missed. A true 360 ​​° theater, the Carrousel des Mondes Marins welcomes you in an incredible sculpture dedicated to the sea. Spectators of strange and disturbing sea creatures spinning around in a gigantic three-level mounted room, you discover the sea in all its forms, from the seabed, the abyss and to the surface of the sea. This giant carousel, nearly 25 m high and 22 m in diameter, is a piece of machinery that awakens fairground art. Three merry-go-rounds are stacked in a real lace of concrete, topped by a capital decorated with pediments, and guarded by 16 fishermen from all the oceans of the world. (Original) Là aussi une visite à ne pas manquer. Véritable théâtre à 360°, le Carrousel des Mondes Marins vous accueille dans une incroyable sculpture dédiée à la mer. Spectateurs d’étranges et inquiétantes créatures marines qui tournent dans une gigantesque pièce montée sur trois niveaux, vous découvrez la mer dans tous ses états, depuis les fonds marins, les abysses et jusqu’à la surface de la mer. Ce carrousel géant, de près de 25 m de haut et de 22 m de diamètre, est une machinerie qui réveille l’art forain. Trois manèges sont empilés dans une véritable dentelle de béton, surmontée d’un chapiteau orné de frontons, et gardés par 16 pêcheurs originaires de tous les océans du monde.

    Very cool machines and maker gallery. The makers liked to talk about their machines and were very friendly even though most of my group did not speak French.

  • 3/5 Graham P. 6 years ago on Google
    Not overly impressed with this ride. Not all the controls worked (lack of maintenance) and only on ride per ticket despite there being 3 levels.

    I love this place. If you your inner child doesn’t scream for a ride of one of the three carousel, you don’t belong to the human species.

  • 5/5 Ryan Tyler T. 5 years ago on Google
    Simply magic and a must stop for anyone with kids visiting Nantes. As a big kid myself it was hard to deny the wonder in every moment of this experience. Also it costs a little extra to buy a second ride, and you'll want to spring for the extra go around.

    Amazing ancient style carousel, undersea thematic, choose the flying fish on the top floor which allow u to level to 3m and enjoy a beautiful view to the city

  • 5/5 Virgile B. 1 year ago on Google • 215 reviews
    A must do! Make sure to visit the 3 floors before choosing your ride! ;)

  • 5/5 Yaaqobh 6 months ago on Google • 102 reviews
    Amazing 🤩

  • 5/5 Scott E. 1 year ago on Google • 60 reviews
    Super impressive interactive art in the form of a multi-level merry-go-ground. A must see when in Nantes or Toulouse. A bit steampunk and art nouveau. Also don't miss the rlephant and the Gallery for more pieces.

  • 5/5 nezia m. 8 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    We loved it! Of our 10 day holiday in the area, this ride was both my son's favourite:-) We just paid to go in for a ride, without the tour and had a good look at the three levels before choosing the one we wanted to go on - difficult choice as they're all so beautiful and creatively made! The boys loved controlling the movements of the pirate fish we ended up choosing.

  • 4/5 Barry C. 1 year ago on Google • 20 reviews
    A nice place to visit, the rides look absolutely amazing, but I’m not sure it’s good value for money, it cost €28 for 2 children and 1 adult to ride only once. If your going for the Elephant and the other machines it’s almost impossible not to do this also so just be ready to pay! 😬

  • 4/5 desudo 8 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Absolute must, just drops a star for price €32 2a2c for one ride Great view of Nantes and the Elephant

  • 5/5 Bella 4 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Very big carousel with a lot of different sea creature machines. On some days you can just visit it, on some you can buy a drive with one of the machines too. You can check the times online.

  • 2/5 Maxou k. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very expensive for what it is. (Original) Très cher pour ce que c'est.

  • 5/5 - Apothéose -. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful, we never finished discovering "animals" there (Original) Très beau, on a jamais fini de découvrir des "animaux" la bas

  • 5/5 Marah L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Magnificent, magical, incredible place, crazy work, it really makes you dream, even the biggest and being able to climb inside these machines and to be able to touch everything makes the experience even more unforgettable! It's great, must do and the people who work there are super nice. (Original) Magnifique, magique, endroit incroyable, un travail de dingue, ça fait vraiment rêver, même les plus grands et le fait de pouvoir monter à l'interieur de ces machines et de pouvoir toucher à tout rend l'expérience encore plus inoubliable ! C'est génial, à faire absolument et les gens qui y travaillent sont supers agréables.

  • 5/5 Seb J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Magnificent ride but a little expensive and the tour is too short (Original) Magnifique manège mais un peu cher et le tour est trop court

  • 4/5 Lukas M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Lots of different "attractions" with the added bonus of a beautiful view of Nantes on the top floor. On the other hand, the price is exorbitant for the number of turns knowing that a ticket is valid only for one machine, pity, two should be the minimum. Especially since the machine island ticket does not allow you to take advantage of it, you have to buy new tickets. The number of interactions on some machines is also greatly reduced. (Original) Beaucoup "d'attractions" différentes avec en prime une très belle vue de Nantes au dernier étage. En revanche, le prix est exorbitant pour le nombre de tours en sachant qu'un billet n'est valable que pour une seule machine, dommage, deux devraient être le minimum. D'autant plus que le ticket de l'ile des machines ne permet pas d'en profiter, il faut racheter de nouveaux tickets. Le nombre d'interactions sur certaines machines est qui plus est fortement réduit.

  • 5/5 David C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) More than a merry-go-round, it is an invitation to the marine world with Machines that are worth the detour. The staff is attentive and systematically explains the mechanisms to be used ... In addition, a breathtaking view of the city of Nantes is offered to you on the top floor. Do not hesitate to come and have a look ... (Original) Plus qu'un manège, c'est une invitation vers le monde marin avec des Machines qui valent le détour. Le personnel est attentionné et explique systématiquement les mécanismes à utiliser... De plus, une vue imprenable sur la cité de Nantes vous est proposée au dernier étage. N'hésitez pas à venir y faire un tour...

    Didn't get to ride it however the kids seemed to enjoy it, looks great and well maintained

  • 5/5 Joan Rovira P. 5 years ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Along with "Les machines" this carroussel wraps up the visit to this part of Nantes quite nicely. A three-stories attraction, themed with different sea creatures according to each of the levels: Sea floor, deep sea and surface. Get a ride on a crab, a submarine, squid, stingray or turtle! And while you're at it, move cranks, levers, push buttons and turn wheels to make your ride come to life! Really cool and worth the visit.

  • 5/5 魏建刚 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The combination of imagination and practice. (Original) 想象力与实践力的结合。

  • 4/5 Luuk T. 2 years ago on Google
    A bit expensive, but really nice to watch and ride. There is a lot of time spend on all details.

  • 5/5 Kevin J. 1 year ago on Google
    Once in a life time adventure, kids were amazed by all the mechanical animals with the elephant being the highlight of the day.

  • 1/5 Dave W. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely not worth the money for one single ride. The elephant is not included in the €9.50 ticket price. Save your money and view them from the outside

  • 5/5 Nathalie s. 3 years ago on Google
    A ride that you really have to come and see as a visit almost more suitable for adults or older children than small children because each manufacture is designed to interact with the passengers.

  • 4/5 mgl d. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Manges exotic and fabulous by its originality and the beauty of the machines. The staff are pleasant and cheerful. The big downside is the price from the moment you want to share it with children. (Original) Manges dépaysant et fabuleux par son originalité et la beauté des machines. Le personnel est agréable et souriant. Le gros bémol c est le prix à partir du moment ou vous voulez en faire profiter les enfants.

  • 5/5 Emilie g. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice carousel on 3 floors underwater, between the 2 worlds and on the water The intermediate world is not accessible to the little ones because of the risk of falling Legendary or existing animals with always small controllers to make them alive I really like the imagination that this carousel offers despite the price of a ride (Original) Très beau carrousel sur 3 étages sous l’eau, entre les 2 mondes et sur l’eau Le monde intermédiaire n’est pas accessible aux petits par risque de chute Animaux légendaires ou existant avec toujours des petites manettes pour les rendre vivants J’aime beaucoup l’imaginaire que propose ce carrousel malgré le prix d’un tour

  • 5/5 A.Bryce L. 4 years ago on Google
    Inspired by Jules Verne, words can't do this thing justice. Put this to the top of your to do list, and explore "Les Machines de l'Île de Nantes" which the carousel is part of. Nantes (in France) is a delightful city to visit, so spend several days there.

  • 5/5 Carole C. 4 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Jolanta C. 4 years ago on Google
    Big monsters make noise, smoke, spining slowly around. It is more interesting to see than to be on it.
