Would you or a family member or friend like to visit the aquarium during a quieter time?
The Aquarium Quiet Nights are designed to accommodate a much smaller number of visitors, with splashes turned off and loud noises tuned down to provide a calmer, quieter space to explore. Softer lights and a quiet space within our Audio Visual Room will also be provided, while staff are on hand to provide information or just let you explore at your own pace in peace if you’d prefer.
Booking is essential and numbers are limited during each time slot.
TIMES – Typically after the Aquarium closes. DATES- Subject to Wednesdays or Thursdays.
*Limited Availability.
