Fowey Aquarium

Attraction Information

Discover the wonders of the sea at Fowey Aquarium, located on the historic Fowey Town Quay since 1952. The aquarium still boasts many of its original tanks, which are home to an incredible variety of marine creatures.

With fresh seawater pumped in daily at high tide, the touch pool is a highlight for kids as they get to handle starfish and crabs under expert supervision. But there’s much more to explore at this little gem of an aquarium. Take your time to explore each tank, and you might just spot Conger Eels in the deep wrecks, or lobsters and crabs lurking in the corners!

What makes Fowey Aquarium truly special is its dedication to sourcing its fish from local fishermen and using local sources for fish food. This means you can learn about the fascinating creatures that inhabit UK waters, and even see some of them up close! Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to experience the beauty and diversity of marine life.
