Super pour les enfants

Plutôt pas mal à faire ça chiffre quand même assez vite si l'on veut visiter plusieurs site je conseille de prendre les billets a l'avance sinon c'est vite complet ou bien pas le choix sur les horaires de visite car ils fonctionnent avec un système de créneaux vous achetez votre billet et choisissez pour l'heure a laquelle vous souhaitez visiter a vous de bien agencé les horaires de plusieurs visites pour ne pas être ou en retard ou obligé d'attendre trop longtemps. La cité des moussaillons était complète en arrivant mais ce sera pour une prochaine fois. Concernant la cité de la voile, elle est super avec toute ses animations a faire en famille, courses de bateaux a voile miniature, mini film avec effet 3D, et tout pleins de petits défis comme monté une voile le plus vite possible ou bien sortir du port le premier. Un espace pour les petits qui est aussi très apprécié.
