    The National Marine Aquarium

    Currently the best and largest aquarium to visit in the UK, the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth is centrally located in Sutton Harbour. The National Marine Aquarium first opened its doors to the public in 1998 and has enjoyed an enduring popularity ever since. Placing emphasis on marine conservation and education, the National Marine Aquarium is spread over four levels. You'll be able to watch fish in the Shallows, Coral Reef or Atlantic Seas. Alternatively, you can visit the Twilight Zone, Discovery Centre, Maritime Gardens or look at some marine art in the Waterfront Gallery. The greatest attraction here is feeding time when all the fish gather in a frenzy. You'll also be able to watch sharks, seahorses and a range of other fish and marine creatures. Don't miss the Mediterranean exhibits, a major attraction boasting the deepest tank (10.5M) in Europe. It holds a staggering 2.5 million litres of seawater. The National Marine Aquarium is a wonderful attraction for all the family and is sure to inspire you whatever your age.
