As a household, we’ve already racked up loads of kilometres driving throughout Switzerland, however this time, we determined to reap the benefits of the SBB RailAway household provide and went to Aquatis in Lausanne by practice. It’s a visit we had all the time needed to do, and since our youthful daughter will quickly flip two, it simply felt like excellent timing for introducing her a giant aquarium.
Travelling from Zurich to Lausanne (and again) I couldn’t think about simpler. The rocking movement of the practice lulled our youngsters to sleep nearly instantly. Altering to the metro, nonetheless, was a bit extra difficult. The youngsters have been nonetheless sleepy however then arriving at Aquatis made us all go “Wow!”. Even from the surface this place already appeared prefer it was effectively price travelling from far. Realizing that it was the most important freshwater aquarium in Europe, we nonetheless didn`t count on how huge and fashionable it appeared.
From the minute we walked in our youngsters went silent trying round with eyes vast opened. The place was crowded with mirrors in all places, and interactive video installations, reflections, shows and illuminations. They have been fascinated by the reflection of a ship crusing overhead that gave the impression to be beneath. Regardless of being a freshwater aquarium, the exhibited animals have been incredible. Additionally, in addition to all of the enjoyable fish-watching, we may find out about underwater life and totally different continents. After our heads have been filled with fish we took a break for lunch on the cafeteria, the youngsters may benefit from the day taking part in and working round outdoors. After the break, we went via Aquatis for the second time and will take extra time on the species that our youngsters discovered probably the most fascinating. After all, it was the large crocodile that occurred to be in temper (see the video) which efficiency turned to be the most important spotlight of our journey.
