What to expect

Bristol Aquarium is home to a wide range of marine life presented in a series of different display areas. The aquarium features over 40 display areas, including lobsters, seahorses, tropical fish, and sharks. Highlights include Gloria, the Giant Pacific Octopus, and a huge 50-year-old lobster named Dale. There are two underwater tunnels where visitors can experience fish swimming above them, one taking you through a tropical marine environment and the other through an area with sea life native to Britain. The Mighty Amazon display showcases freshwater fish found in the Amazon, and the Coral Seas display is home to a variety of tropical fish species. The aquarium also features an indoor botanical garden, the Urban Jungle, which includes the Bay of Rays exhibit, home to stingrays, thornback rays, and painted rays. This is a great family-friendly attraction that is both fun and educational
