Things To Do

Explore the fascinating world beneath the waves and come face to face with a mesmerising variety of marine life including colourful fish, graceful rays, and majestic sharks with their NEW Under the Sea Experience! 

In this 250,000-litre Ocean Tank, you can discover a whole host of aquatic creatures and marine life. From native species to coral reefs - it's a sight to see! You can see tropical fish like clownfish, native fish species, baby sharks, crocodiles, rays and even reptiles!

Next up, why not meet the Humboldt Penguins? You can get up close and personal with these playful and charismatic birds as they waddle and swim in their specially designed habitat. These quirky penguins will be a delight to see with the whole family!

Watch adorable and playful otters as they frolic in their naturalistic environment, showcasing their agility and intelligence. You'll discover another family of Asian small-clawed otters too!

A really amazing experience is when you visit the seal sanctuary and rescue centre. It's been open since 1989 and they aim to rehabilitate sick, injured and abandoned seal pups! Meet some of the resident seals who have been rescued and are on their way to recovery.

Don't miss the opportunity to witness the aquarium's expert staff feeding the animals and sharing fascinating insights and information about their behaviour and habitats!
