The aquarium offers a unique experience that is both educational and fun! From the colourful fish to my son&#8217;s favourites, the majestic reef sharks. There is a lot packed into this aquarium for you and your family to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Interactive Exhibits<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During our visit, we participated in the interactive exhibits, watched live demonstrations and got up close to a huge selection of different creatures; from Arabian angelfish to seals and seahorses!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aquarium provides many visually engaging and tactile opportunities to educate visitors of all ages. Allowing them to learn about sea animals, conservation and what we can do to protect our seas and oceans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Meeting Seals<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My children loved stamping their Seal&#8217;s Adventure Passports as they explored.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are passport stations to emboss the pages throughout the aquarium and then if you take the passport back to the front desk at the end of your visit you will get a sticker for completing it!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Seal Show and Hospital<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We enjoyed watching the Seal Show in Tynemouth&#8217;s impressive outdoor &#8216;Seal Cove&#8217; exhibit. The children loved watching the seal&#8217;s tricks and learning about how they&#8217;re trained and cared for in the onsite seal hospital. We were able to walk up to the Seal Hospital and see the current patients who are being nursed back to health until they&#8217;re big and strong enough to return to life in the wild. My daughter was particularly taken with a cute little seal called Strawberry!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Photo-23-04-2023-14-13-13-1-small-1260x708.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Learn about Rivers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I thought that &#8216;River Giants&#8217; was one of Tynemouth&#8217;s most impressive exhibits. It&#8217;s an immersive area that feels like you&#8217;re exploring the rivers of South America and the monstrous freshwater fish that live there! Whilst here we also learned about the boiling rivers of the Amazonian River Basin, a fascinating phenomenon which causes areas of the rivers to become so hot that nothing can survive there!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bay &amp; Laurel Restaurant<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We ate at the onsite restaurant Bay &amp; Laurel; aptly named for the aquarium&#8217;s beachfront location and local legend Stan Laurel- with nods to the famous silent film actor in the d\u00e9cor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Outdoor Play Area<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After we&#8217;d enjoyed our lunches we spent time in the outdoor play area, eating ice creams and playing in the Spring sunshine before heading home through the Ocean Tunnel which leads visitors right under the &#8216;Aztec Reef&#8217; exhibit!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We made lasting memories at Tynemouth Aquarium, it was a great opportunity to spend time together whilst experiencing some wonders of the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So next time you&#8217;re looking for a fun and educational activity to do with your family, consider a trip to Tynemouth Aquarium.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n
