Marineland in Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes) will close on January 5 after more than 50 years of operations. It will remain the largest water-based zoo in Europe up until its closure.

Tickets to visit the site will continue to be sold up to this date, and tickets booked for after this time can be transferred to an earlier date via the attraction’s website.

Neighbouring attractions including the Aquasplash waterpark and Adventure Golf park will remain open after Marineland closes.
