Dive down in the Ocean Invaders and into the world of jellyfish! Did you know it's the UK's largest jellyfish experience? You'll uncover these marine creatures in a whole new light, from their five stages of evolution to all the most interesting and most asked questions about them.
Rainforest Adventure
Can you hear that? It's the sound of pure adventure! Head into the Amazon in this brand-new Rainforest Adventure! Explore the depths of the jungle and discover new and exotic rainforest creatures...
Coral Kingdom
Your underwater adventure then continues as you dive down into the cold Atlantic Depths, where you’ll find even more mysterious creatures, such as an octopus and sand eel... The Coral Kingdom will surely blow you away as you step into the UK's largest collection of living coral. This interactive experience is beautiful, tranquil and abundant with steering wildlife.
But the underwater fun doesn't stop there! The Tidal Reach will make you think differently about life on British shores, and the Ray Lagoon ripples with activity. You can even look through a window to spot what these rays look like on the underside of their body! If you're lucky, you might spot a Ray's egg! As well as bright and bold rainforest frogs, rockpool creatures, jellyfish, and so much more!
Ocean Tunnel
The incredible experience continues in the Ocean Tunnel, where you’ll see giant green sea turtles swimming above you and the world’s smallest hammerhead shark. If you're ready to sink your teeth into an experience like no other, head to the Shipwreck to discover shark-infested waters! Then, if you love a bit of colour, make your way to the Coral Kingdom for a spectacle that will truly 'wow' you. Spot tiny clownfish shimmering in a 40ft tank with an array of colours.
Polar Adventure
On dry land, there's a colony of Gentoo penguins in the penguin enclosure, and you can encounter an augmented reality Polar Bear in Polar Adventure. What more can you find in this icy landscape? We absolutely love the Polar Adventure!
If you'd like to learn more about underwater life, get stuck into an in-depth Creature Talk! Learn all about stingrays with Ray Ranger, get closer to the sharks, keep your eyes and ears out for rainforest talks, and, of course, listen to all about the lovable penguins.
