Blue Planet Aquarium

Blue Planet Aquarium is home to one of the UK’s largest shark collections, housed in a breath-taking 4-million-litre tropical display. Stroll through our 71-metre underwater tunnel as sharks swim overhead – or, for the truly adventurous, take part in a once-in-a-lifetime shark dive, suitable for all ages and abilities.
