Rope Walk, Coxside, Plymouth, Devon

Reported to be the largest aquarium in the UK and as you walk through the demi-tunnels it certainly feels like it. There are turtles, sharks (over 15 species), tropical fish in a coral reef tank a touch pool and much more.  The layout of Plymouth’s aquarium means that children can always find a tank to get close to, no matter how busy it is – often a problem with other aquariums. The Atlantic Reef gallery is a real favourite – a gigantic wall of floating delights to gaze at which will delight budding marine biologists and toddlers who love to be scared from a safe distance!

National Marine Aquarium Cafe

There is a cafe and outside picnic/ ice-cream area, there is a giftshop. Handy parking is nearby.
