Aquariums Near You

Make a splash with your kids and enjoy a magical underwater adventure at an aquarium near you. Learn all about the wonders of the ocean, from anemones to zebra seahorses, and have a great day out with lots to learn and discover.

Experience the majesty of the sea with your family as you see creatures in their element, and get up close and personal with squids, sharks, seals, and shoals of rare fish. Pal up with the penguins, be entertained by eels, and gawp at giant catfish as you take in the sights of what's lurking under the surf.

Trek through underwater observation tunnels, experience the bioluminscent glow of night-time sea life, and discover why the UK has always loved aquariums.

From the world's first aquarium in Brighton, to Britain's biggest aquarium in Plymouth, there's a huge range to choose from, each with their own specialties and species.
