Wet weather activities in the Vendee- help!

I've been going to the Vendee on and off for the last 15yrs+. The last time we took DD, she was only 12months so was happy to be carted round with us. DD is now 3 and has an opinion on everything!
Can you help me make a list of activities to do if the weather is bad. I know there is meant to be a great aquarium at Talmont (7eme Continent). There is the zoo (mainly outdoors though) at Les Sables. There is apparently a kids farm in Avrille but again outdoors. I don't think DD would be ready for Puy de Fou. Has anyone tried the Indian Forest in Moutiers? Futuroscope is an option but miles away!
I'm hoping the weather will be excellent so we can sit on the beach all the time, but just in case.....! Merci beaucoup!

Talmont is very good but is mostly outdoors as is Puy du Fou.
The aqaurium at Talmont is good we went there last year and plan to go back as they are opening a new section. There is a motor museum nearby but I have never been there so dont know what its like.

I dont know what part of the Vendee you are in but if you are prepared to travel La Rochelle aqaurium is very good. There is a sea life type place on Normoutier (sp?).
You mentioned the zoo at les Sables but as you said its mainly outdoors. Also at Sables D'ollone there is a Musee de Coquillage (sea shell museum) never been there but it is indoors.
There is a nice indoor pool in La Tranche sur mer.

Also the Decathlon shop in La Roche sur yon is worth a trip on a rainy afternoon, we bought lots of biking and sports stuff for the kids there, and a friend of mine bought her dd a bike there.
