This Summer Holiday here at the National Marine Aquarium we are boldly going where we’ve never been before… to the deep ocean to explore the world of Ocean Aliens!

Throughout the whole of the Summer Holiday there will be a spacey new Summer Show showcasing the cosmic creatures of the deep. Visitors will become deep sea explorers as they learn about the challenges of going down into the deep ocean, what they will find there and how humans use the deep sea.

As well as the Spacey new show, there will be a cosmic creature trail around the building as well as our daily dive shows, talks and feeds, this Summer Holiday at the Aquarium will be out of this world! Come and join ‘LOOLA’ our curious visitor from outer space in the search for more ocean aliens! To visit the Aquarium website, please click here.
