FAMILY FAVOURITES


enough to be carried around in a front-facing sling and they absolutely loved staring at the fish from that young age. From the sharks (70 different sharks and 10 differ- ent species) to the diving displays with the enormous, almost blind, turtle, there is something for everyone and so much to learn too. my children’s favourite was definitely the turtle who could not see and they sat on the floor in front of his tank for ages and ages! In the holidays, there are often activities in one of the class- rooms – colouring activities, making sea monsters, etc and the staff are so helpful and friendly. There is a big area for picnicking and we have sat outside before in the sunshine, even in the winter and looked out over plymouth sound with our sandwiches. There are cafés inside the aquarium, one of which has a small, soft play centre for the younger children to enjoy. There’s also a RockFish Restaurant right by the aquarium serving great seafood and fish and chips. It’s best to check the national marine aquarium


website www.national-aquarium.co.uk before you go as you can check exactly what is going on and you can also book online to avoid the queues. and my top tip - when you visit make sure you upgrade your ticket to an annual pass – it’s free and you can go as many times as you like in a year.
