Blue Planet Aquarium

Discover an unforgettable underwater adventure at Blue Planet Aquarium, home to one of the UK’s largest collections of sharks. Dive into a breathtaking 4-million-litre tropical display and walk through the incredible 71-metre underwater tunnel, where sharks glide right overhead.

For thrill-seekers, take the plunge with a once-in-a-lifetime shark dive experience. Suitable for age 8+ and all abilities, it’s a unique opportunity to get closer than ever to these fascinating creatures (pre-booking required).

Explore More Than Just Sharks

There’s a whole world waiting beyond the tunnel. With nine themed zones and over 100 living displays, you’ll encounter thousands of marine and freshwater species from across the globe.

Come face-to-fin with favourites like clownfish, regal tangs and pufferfish, or venture into the world of reptiles with tortoises and snakes. Feeling brave? Step into the Venom exhibit, home to lionfish, tarantulas and viper snakes.

Don’t miss the daily dive shows and feeding talks in the spectacular Aqua Theatre. This huge viewing window offers an up-close look at marine life in action. A must-see for visitors of all ages. Be sure to check the schedule on arrival so you don’t miss out.

Adventure Beyond the Aquarium

The excitement doesn’t stop indoors. Little explorers can burn off energy in the outdoor play area, while budding palaeontologists will love the Dino Adventure, where prehistoric creatures bring an extra layer of discovery and fun to your visit.

Eat, Treat & Take Something Home

After exploring, relax in the Nautilus Kitchen, a deep-sea-themed space serving a variety of freshly prepared meals, snacks and drinks.

For something sweet, stop by the Ice Cream Parlour and enjoy a refreshing treat before heading back to the action (seasonal opening).

Before you leave, visit the Gift Shop, packed with ocean-themed toys, souvenirs and keepsakes to remember your day.

Take your visit even further with a PADI-recognised discovery scuba session. Learn basic diving skills with expert instructors and come face-to-face with impressive 10-foot Sand Tiger Sharks.
