At Blue Planet Aquarium, the largest aquarium adventure in the UK, you're guaranteed to see more types of shark than anywhere else in Britain - and they are BIG!

We've got more than 10 different species from around the world including our famous Sand Tiger sharks! At the heart of your Ultimate Underwater Adventure is the Aquatunnel, one of the longest in the world at 70m long. You'll be taken on a spectacular underwater safari by our moving walkway and everywhere you look, you'll find a shark looming overhead - or eyeballing you.
It is a truly awesome and unforgettable experience.
