11,000 marine animals covering about 600 species are housed in this fantastic aquarium. The marine world is divided up by ecosystems – cold and temperate seas, mangroves, tropics, and a ship wreck! At the touch pool you can get up close and personal with rays and sea stars. There’s a pool that rings around you, and houses turtles and sharks. You can hire the venue for personal or corporate events. And definitely check out the Nautibus, a mini-submersible.
