Explore our AquariumLoved this aquarium! It literally has a theme. So creative and fun. I definitely must see if you’re visiting London with the little ones. It’s right next to the London Eye, Westminster Bridge and close to Big Ben, so there are multiple things to see!
We had a magical experience looking at the array of aquatic life and learning new facts along the way. Every habitat was clearly well looked after, and the animals all seemed to live in a level of harmony that you might see in the wild.
The aquarium is perfectly designed to captivate young children with its immersive exhibits and magical atmosphere.
I had the BEST time and found all the staff to be lovely. Seeing all the animals from the different views they had was so, so good.
