About Deep Sea World

Take a peek into life deep underwater at Deep Sea World - Scotland's national aquarium. Located beneath the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge, it’s home to over 2,000 creatures - ranging from seahorses and stingrays, to seals and sharks. It's the ultimate family day out for fish, seal and shark lovers too with grey nurse sharks, resident seals, giant sand tiger sharks, star fish, exotic fish and many other fascinating sea creatures. 

Why we recommend Deep Sea World as a must visit for families

Explore the ocean

This award-winning aquarium will take you and your little explorers on a journey of discovery through the planet's rivers, lakes and oceans. You’ll get to see all sorts of wonderful and bizarre marine inhabitants - from mudskippers and piranhas to lesser octopus and clownfish, and explore the underwater world with a range of seasonal events. Don't miss the outdoor Seal Harbour, home to a resident family of adorable common seals!
