Aquarium

Shimmering spots, stripes and spines are always on show in our colourful aquarium. Here you'll discover more than 70 species of fish, from a wide variety of tropical and temperate, freshwater and marine habitats. Have you seen our porcupine puffer fish? The seahorses? The red-bellied piranha? Or our two giant gourami – Gladys and Gerry?

You can also see clown fish like Nemo in our aquarium, swimming and hiding among the brightly coloured coral.

We recently revamped our aquarium to include a new underwater-themed mural, a huge replica shark’s jaw, replica giant clams, a ‘meet the keeper’ video. There’s also an interactive children’s play area with marine related puzzles, aquatic puppets and displays about fish sustainability.
