Do I have to pre-book tickets ahead of time?
Guests visiting from Easter until September will need to purchase a DATED DAY PASS. This will guarantee entry into the aquarium on your planned visit date.

The aquarium is fully accessible with ramps throughout. You are very welcome to take your pushchair around with you or if you prefer, you can leave it at the entrance to the displays in our foyer area.

We do not allow any scooters, bikes, skates (including shoes with wheels) around the aquarium. This is to keep everyone safe during their visit. The flooring is not suitable, ramps may be steep and the vibrations caused by wheels can upset the animals.

We do not allow any animals into the aquarium, except for registered assistance dogs. Please arrange alternative care for your pet ahead of your visit.
