Animal Crossing: New Horizons: the immersive family experience at Sea Life Aquarium

Animal Crossing is a life-simulation video game in which you develop your own island. Activities include bug hunting, gardening and, of course, fishing! More experienced players can catch carp, char, horse mackerel and even coelacanth! All marine creatures that can be admired in real life, at theSea Life aquarium.

The aquarium, located in the Val d'Europe shopping center, is hosting a fun and educational event that turns your game into reality (or almost). Of course, you won't be fishing in the Sea Life tanks. But the aquarium does offer an immersive family experience, as an extension of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

From October 18, 2025 to March 8, 2026, follow the special educational and fun trail at the Sea Life aquarium, and observe the many marine creatures living there.
