点评:We have been visiting the aquarium nearly every year for at least the last 12 years. It was one of my daughters favourite places to visit on our holiday in the Dordogne.
After an hour of queueing, with only 1 person dealing with 2 separate queues (and consequently angry customers), we were very upset to see the state of the aquarium this year. Many tanks were so dirty that we could not even see the fish/other animals. On one tank, there was a sign saying that they were now using fresh water rather than chemicals, which resulted in some plankton/algae to grow. But it was SO dirty, surely it could still be cleaned/filtered. Many other tanks/enclosures were empty or were very low in animal numbers.
Some areas that were in previous years full of animals had been turned into 'Expos' with just posters and information.
Some of the wooden plank walkways were rotting and becoming dangerous, an accident waiting to happen.
For the price of €20 each, we were in there for less than an hour (making it an expensive hour). Whereas in the past we spent nearly the whole day there, enjoying watching the fish and other animals.
We left feeling very disappointed and very sad at how run down the place had become. Unless we hear of a big change we will not be returning. So sad.

排了一个小时的队后,却发现只有一名工作人员负责处理两条队伍的事务(结果导致顾客们怒气冲冲)。今年看到水族馆的状况时,我们感到非常失望。很多鱼缸脏得连里面的鱼或其他动物都看不清。有一个鱼缸更是……有一个指示牌上写着,他们现在使用淡水而非化学药剂,这促使一些浮游生物和藻类开始生长。不过那里实在太脏了,肯定还是可以进行清洁或过滤的。其他许多水箱或饲养区要么空无一物,要么里面的动物数量极少。
往年那些满是动物的区域如今都变成了展示区,里面只有海报和介绍资料。
有些木质栈道已经开始腐烂,变得十分危险,随时可能引发事故。每个门票售价20欧元,我们在那里停留了不到一小时(可以说是“昂贵的一小时”)。而以前我们常常在那里待上一整天,尽情欣赏鱼类及其他动物的风采。
离开时我们感到无比失望与难过,因为那个地方已经破败不堪。除非听到有重大改观的消息,否则我们不会再去了。真是令人难过啊。
