Renovation & Winter Hours Update

We’re delighted to share that, ahead of our 30th anniversary in spring 2026, we’ve begun renovating our gift shop and café area. These upgrades will create a brighter, more welcoming space for visitors in the future.

Because of this work, we will have very limited opening days in December, and the Aquarium will be closed for most of the month. We plan to remain open as much as possible throughout the renovation period and will keep any necessary closures to a minimum. Please check the dates below carefully before planning your visit.

January Hours & Opening Times

Aquarium closed from 20 – 28 January 

We aim to be open ever day, but some closures may arise due to construction (planned and unexpected). Please check our website before traveling.

• Closed 20th – 28th January 
• Open daily from 29th onwards.
• Temporary entrance still in place during renovations

What to Expect During Renovations

• All animal exhibits open on operating days
• Temporary entrance in use
• Retail space closed, small gift shop available
• Immersive screen room closed
