Planet Ocean Montpellier, Montpellier
Planet Ocean Montpellier is a complex bringing together an aquarium and a planetarium located in the fun area of Odysseum in Montpellier. Until April 2018, the management of the aquarium and the planetarium are done independently: the aquarium is then called Mare Nostrum and the planetarium Galilée. The aquarium part has been open since December 15, 2007.
On April 12, 2011, the extension of the Mare Nostrum aquarium to Odysseum was inaugurated.
In January 2017, Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, owner of the aquarium and the planetarium, delegated the management of the two structures to the company Aspro-Ocio.
In April 2018, the Mare Nostrum aquarium and the Galilée planetarium merged to make way for Planet Ocean Montpellier.
