About us
Visit the UK's largest Aquarium and be fascinated by an underwater world. All day tickets come with a free 12-month pass, so pay once and return as much as you like throughout the year!
A visit to the Aquarium will take you on a journey across the world's Ocean, from the shores of Plymouth Sound to the coral reefs of the tropics of Australia.
With over 4,000 animals to meet including sharks, stingrays, octopuses, jellyfish and a very cheeky turtle, there will be something different on every visit. One hundred percent of the National Marine Aquarium’s proceeds go towards the Ocean Conservation Trust, a charity dedicated to connecting people with the Ocean.
Visiting the aquarium isn’t just a great way to explore the Ocean, it’s a brilliant way to help conserve it too. Exhibits include the UK’s deepest and largest tank, the UK’s largest native exhibit, the UK’s largest single viewing panel and many more interactive displays.
