About Bristol Aquarium
Bristol Aquarium | The Wonders of the Deep Await
Bristol Aquarium Description
BRISTOL'S BIGGEST AQUARIUM : :
Bristol Aquarium invites you to discover the wonders of the deep in the heart of the city.
More than 40 naturally-themed displays are home to thousands of amazing aquatic creatures including tropical sharks, rays, seahorses, piranhas and so much more.
UK EXCLUSIVE : :
We’re also the only aquarium in the UK to feature a giant botanical house showcasing hundreds of exotic plant and tree species from around the world.
THEMED ZONES : :
Eight themed zones take you on a fascinating journey from the British coastline through warmer waters to exotic tropical seas.
From the hidden world of UK coasts, you are transported to the beautiful ‘underwater gardens’ of the Mediterranean, tropical rainforests, mangrove pools and the stunning beauty of coral reefs - home to everything from seahorses and puffer fish to living corals and tropical sharks.
WALKTHROUGH UNDERWATER TUNNEL : :
You can enjoy the closest of undersea encounters in an underwater walk-through tunnel through the reef, from inside a glass cavern and via bubble-helmet viewing points.
FIND DORY & NEMO! : :
More than 40 other naturally-themed displays reveal the sheer variety of life in the deep from giant crabs and lobsters to the amazing octopus and jellyfish. Plus you can find Nemo, Dory and their friends!
GIANT OPEN TOP OCEAN DISPLAYS : :
You can enter a life-size recreation of a sunken ship, step inside a seahorse display and walk across a wooden footbridge suspended above the open-top giant Coral Seas display.

Did you know that regal tangs like Dory are a type of surgeon fish?
Surgeonfish get their name from the scalpel-like spines at the base of their tail, which are sharp and venomous! These toxins can cause sever pain to predators and even humans!
