About this activity

Welcome to Oceanarium, the ultimate destination for families seeking adventure, fun and education all in one place! Located in the beautiful county of Dorset, this stunning aquarium is home to a variety of fascinating marine life and offers a truly unforgettable experience for all visitors.

From the moment you step inside the Oceanarium, you are transported into a magical underwater world. The first thing you will notice is the incredible floor-to-ceiling tanks, each one containing a different marine environment and a wide range of creatures from around the world. 

One of the best things about the Oceanarium is its size - it's not too big, so you can easily explore it all in a day, but it's not so small that you'll feel like you've missed out on anything. There are over 150 species of marine life to discover, from colorful fish to majestic sea turtles, and the whole place is designed with kids in mind, with plenty of interactive exhibits and touch pools to keep them engaged.

One of the highlights of the Oceanarium is the underwater tunnel, where you can walk through a glass tunnel and be surrounded by sharks, rays, and other creatures swimming all around you. It's a truly unforgettable experience that your kids will be talking about for weeks!

The Oceanarium is perfect for families of all ages, with something to entertain everyone. For young children, there is a special section where they can get up close and personal with some of the smaller, more friendly creatures such as starfish and crabs. They can learn about the different creatures and even touch them under the watchful eye of the knowledgeable and friendly staff.

With its exciting exhibits, educational value, and fun interactive features, it's the perfect place to spend a day exploring and learning about the incredible world beneath the waves.
