The Oceano Club is welcoming children for a week of discovery at the heart of Monaco’s Oceanographic Museum throughout the summer holidays. Split into two age groups – 6-8 years and 9-12 years – the programme allows young kids to dive into the fascinating world of the ocean through various educational and fun activities. 

Children are immersed into the magical setting of the museum, known as the ‘Temple of the Sea’, where they participate in the multiple ocean-focused activities under the guidance of a specialised educational team. The programme centres on the ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the creatures that inhabit them.

The curriculum features workshops on Posidonia seagrass meadows – the Mediterranean’s ‘green lungs’ – sessions on large cetaceans, an in-depth exploration of the Pelagos Sanctuary, and awareness-raising about Marine Protected Areas.

Places still available this summer

Parents seeking enriching summer activities for their children will be pleased to know that places remain available across several sessions. The programme runs over four periods: 11-14 August, 18-22 August, 25-29 August, and 1-5 September.

Sessions run from 9am to 5pm daily, with all activities conducted in French.

The initiative aligns with the educational mission of the Oceanographic Museum, carrying forward the legacy of Prince Albert I and continuing today under Prince Albert II. According to the museum, it’s “an ideal opportunity to awaken children’s curiosity, strengthen their thirst for discovery and nurture future pursuits.”

The programme represents a unique opportunity for children to experience hands-on marine education.
