An Underwater Adventure!
Our school programme is perfect for introducing pupils to a range of scientific topics and encouraging excitement and curiosity about marine phenomena in the natural world. It has been designed to support several core elements of the National Curriculum.
Your pupils will come face-to-fin with over 2,000 creatures and get closer than ever before! Meet our friendly yet goofy Gentoo penguins in their Antarctic Ice Cave before heading to to our interactive rock pools where you can feel a real starfish!
Finish your adventure in the UK's only 360 degree Ocean Tunnel filled with tropical fish, over 14 sharks from 3 different species and Mo, our Giant Green Sea turtle!
