UK. • It tells the amazing story of the world's oceans through

stunning marine life, interactives and audio-visual presentations

The Deep Sleepovers

What is a Sleepover?Sleepovers provide a great opportunity for children

to take part in educational and fun hands-on workshops, lively demonstrations and trails based around the galleries and to see the aquarium as they’ve never seen it before- all to themselves!
