From the Cornish coast to the 'underwater gardens' of the Mediterranean and the dazzling beauty of tropical reefs the aquarium recreates the magic of the undersea world.
The sights, sounds and smells of the sea are vividly brought to life by more than 30 innovative displays.
At its heart is a spectacular coral reef display housed within a gigantic 250,000 litre ocean tank - home to exotic tropical species like black tip sharks and giant wrasse as well as hundreds of brightly-coloured reef fish.
Visitors can enjoy the closest of undersea encounters inside an underwater walkthrough tunnel which runs through the centre of the reef, via a series of underwater viewing windows and even from the surface - along a specially-constructed boardwalk overlooking the coral atoll.
Other displays are home to everything from octopus and seahorses to giant crabs and lobsters. Daily talks and feeding demonstrations bring the experience to life. An amazing experience whatever the weather.
