Getting to the aquarium is very easy with a range of transport links including bus, train, tube, car, coach and bicycle. The opening times are 10am to 6pm, 7 days a week. Summer late opening times are 10am to 7pm, the aquarium is only closed for one day being Christmas day.

The aquarium has over 350 species of fish over 3 floors. There are 14 different zones with tanks and displays with freshwater, stream, Atlantic, rivers and ponds, Pacific, Indian ocean, touch pools, temperate waters, coral reef, invertebrates, tropical freshwater, mangrove and rainforest. In the tough pools there are turtles and terrapins that visitors can touch and observe. In 2005 the aquarium added another attraction in the shape of robotic fish, these fish are made so that they move just like real fish but are sensory based so that they avoid other fish and objects just like real fish would do. Although they are robotic they are incredibly graceful, interesting and entertaining to watch. Children are very enthusiastic in seeing these fish and how they operate. These fish took around 3 years to make after scientists did a lot of research into how real fish move and act. This has proved to attract even more visitors to the aquarium.

There is a gift shop on the ground level of the aquarium where visitors can purchase anything form key rings, fridge magnets to laser lights, you may wonder why laser lights? Well, this is because the aquarium is quite dark with the lighting provided by the tanks so kids love to actually explore the aquarium whilst holding the laser lights. There is also a McDonalds next door so you will not have to go far to get a bite to eat, the restaurant has two floors to cater for the overwhelming amount of visitors to the aquarium.

Everyone is welcome to the aquarium whether it be an educational visit or just a day out. You can purchase educational resources from the ticket desk such as the Aquatic guide or the Aqua safari priced at £6.00 each.
