Skegness Aquarium
Attraction Information
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at Skegness Aquarium! Discover a world of tropical sea life and immerse yourself in the pirate-themed atmosphere. As one of only three aquariums in the UK to offer a ‘Dive with Sharks’ experience, this is a truly unique opportunity that you won’t want to miss.
Explore the award-winning themed attraction as you follow the iconic story of Treasure Island, walk beneath the waves through Davy Jones’ locker, and team up with other adventurers to explore Long John Silver’s cabin. And for the younger ones, there’s free face painting and an under 12s soft play area.
The Wet Lab is a must-see attraction, where visitors can touch and learn about various creatures that call the British seaside their home. You can also catch daily interactive talks at the Aqua Theatre and enjoy a delicious lunch at the Bistro while taking in breathtaking sea views.
From rays and seahorses to sharks and more, the diverse range of sea life at Skegness Aquarium will leave you in awe. So come and join the fun with pirates, deep sea divers, and mermaids, and make unforgettable memories with your loved ones.
