Your first introduction to the fascinating story of sharks, but before you meet them you will be transported to a world of deep sea creatures that would be hidden away in a shipwreck. Try and spot our juvenile common octopus, Octopus Prime, who loves hiding in the nooks and crannies of her tank. Step under the viewing tank and see our blacktip reef sharks swim overhead!

We visited for my Granddaughters 1st birthday. She loved looking at the fish and even got to touch a starfish.
A great day out for us all.

Aquarium was way shorter/smaller than expected. Room are not wentilated enough, I had troubles with it and couldn't enjoy the tour. On beginning where was talking about turtles, I was hoping to see a real one not projection on the sand. But at least my daughter enjoyed her first such trip.

My advice? You work hard for your money so don't waste it on utter rubbish like this. We got in on one ticket as I had a carer, and even then it was shamefully overpriced for what we saw. Thank goodness I didn't waste £56 on this.
