Halloween under the sea
During the All Saints' Day vacations, the Paris Aquarium has an exciting program in store to entertain children and their families. Two shows, "La Sirène sorcière d'Halloween" and "Le monstre d'Halloween", are on the program.
In "The Mermaid Witch of Halloween", families are invited to listen to the story of a mermaid witch determined to celebrate Halloween under the waves. She gathers all the necessary accessories, but realizes that her wand of aquatic black magic has mysteriously disappeared. You can attend this show on October 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29 and 31 at 3.15pm.
Young and old alike will also have the opportunity to take part in the "Halloween Monster" show. A mad scientist aims to create the most extraordinary Halloween banquet using the magnificent fish living in the swamp at the heart of the forest. However, it should be noted that anyone approaching the swamp with the intention of catching these fish will be instantly transformed into one of them. The show runs from October 21 to 31 and on November 1, from 2.15pm to 5.15pm.
