Set sail from a simple table and a tin of sardines into a gentle underwater adventure. The table becomes a boat, waves and lyrical singing carry the journey into a wondrous marine world. Through portholes, dreamlike creatures glide by and clever metamorphoses make objects come alive. This musical, visually playful performance invites young children to explore sound, movement and imagination until a surprising, miraculous catch.
In French. Kids ages 2 and up.
The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum. Each head of this male tortoise has its own independent brain, which sometimes makes its movements challenging. In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.
Jump into a cozy creative space where tiny hands make colorful shapes and soft sounds fill the air. Inspired by museum artworks, children and their adults will explore textures, colors, and gentle movements through play, stories, and simple crafts. Little ones will experiment with finger paints, fabrics, and instruments, discovering how art can feel and sound. This immersive, multisensory moment encourages curiosity, sensory play, and bonding between child and grown-up.
In French. Kids ages 0–4.

Step close to a sculpture by Alexandre Joly and listen as storytellers Joëlle Flumet and Camille Lacroix bring “The Guardian” to life.

Then everyone builds a bright kite, feeling fabric and string and watching it dance in the breeze.
