WOW FACT
Seahorses can move each of their eyes independently; so they can look backwards and forwards at the same time
Seahorses may sound like mythical creatures but here you can see just how real they are! In this kingdom seahorses grip at seagrass with their curly tails and suck up tiny shrimp with their straw-like snouts. Seadragons bob slowly past the window; with deep purple stripes, splatters of vibrant orange, and seaweed-like appendages... you've never seen anything like these before!

Rays
In the shallow Atlantic waters, beneath an old pier, you'll arrive next at the lagoon that is rippling with beautiful rays! These curious creatures are graceful to watch from above but don't forget to take a look through the window below to see the mouth and gills on the underside of their bodies as they pass on by. Our eagle eyed guests may even spot a ray's egg hidden in the sand.
Some rays and sharks lay eggs called Mermaid's Purses!
WOW FACT
Green sea turtles are the second largest species of marine turtle. The largest recorded green sea turtles weigh over 300kg… that's as heavy as a fully grown tiger!
Take a stroll under the sea as you pass through our amazing 360° glass tunnel. Shoals of glittering fish flutter along beside you whilst our enormous green sea turtle glides slowly over your head. Look out and discover our black tip reef sharks or our lazy Nurse shark hiden on the seabed without paying much attention to what happens around him.
WOW FACT
One of the biggest threats to turtles are plastic bags because turtles mistake the bags for jellyfish and eat them.
