Marineland, a family amusement park in French Riveria

We have been staying near Monaco on the Italian Riveria in the same town as Nonni so we can eat meals together and spend time together. We are in a smaller town in walking distance to everything. The beaches have playgrounds, water inflatables in the water, and you can rent a beach chair with umbrella. Very child friendly. However after 8 days at the beach and pool, we decided to visit Marineland in Antibes, France (between Cannes and Nice). It's a mini Disney/Seaworld for France. There are 4 main parks, each great for any age. We visited Kids Island, which was a good fit for our 2 year old and Aquasplash. Kids island was small, animal focused with petting areas and a train to ride. What we didn't realize was how hot it would be. So we spent maybe 45min total at Kids Island, we spent the rest of time two hours at Aquasplash.

It was a very busy day since it was so hot, but clean, fun, and safe Waterpark. There were three large areas for toddlers at the front of the park, another smaller one close to the pirate ship ride, and the third largest area at the back of the Waterpark. It was so much fun and a great way to cool off. There are many areas with chairs, shade tent areas, and a soft faux beach area to sunbathe. There were numerous lifeguards in every area.

Lockers: There are storage lockers for your item 5 euros for small locker and 10 euros for large locker

Strollers: I brought our small travel stroller through the park. I locked our valuables in a locker, but kept towels, water, and sunscreen with us. There were numerous areas to park the stroller. It is a large Waterpark so the stroller really helped

Required swimwear for toddlers: Children 3 and under are required to wear arm floaters. They are sold at the store by the entrance for 5 euros

Parking: Large parking lot, easy to find a space and 7 euros
