This ultra-modern aquarium is one of the largest in Europe containing over one million litres of water. Three hundred and fifty species are displayed within the three large tanks - everything from brown sharks, sand tigers and piranhas to jellyfish and tropical fish that swim right before your eyes. A "touch pool", otherwise known as the Beach Pier, allows for the assisted handling of starfish, hermit crabs and friendly rays. But the main attraction is the Atlantic Tank, where you can view divers, protected from sharks and other scary creatures, during feeding times.
