 SeaQuarium Weston-super-Mare is an all weather family attraction committed to creating a fun and hands-on atmosphere for all ages to explore the amazing underwater world.
SeaQuarium showcases a range of species from around the world in 8 different zones with over 30 exhibits including a Tropical Reef Zone with Puffer fish, Lionfish and Eels, a Rainforest River Zone with Piranha and baby Freshwater Stingrays, also what is found right on our very own doorstep including an amazing underwater tunnel, providing visitors with a closer look into the depths of our oceans, an open top display Ray Zone that allows visitors to take a closer look at these graceful creatures where you can also see our baby Thornback rays swimming in their Ray nursery.
To encourage you to delve deeper, explore SeaQuarium with our Discovery Trail Quiz for kids and big kids alike! If you've ever wanted to know what an anemone feels like or what a Mermaid's purse is, don't miss our touch pool interactions and other Hands On activities. You can get Hands On throughout the day and add a personal touch to your visit by creating a hand made souvenir to take home during our sea themed creative play activities.
After your marine journey, why not relax in our Driftwood Cafe with spectacular views of the severn estuary. Please remember, our gift shop is your last stop for a momento of your visit and just in case you missed something on your first voyage, you can start your journey all over again with your ticket giving you all access into the attraction!

|  Some of the animals found at the Weston SeaQuarium are getting into the bank holiday family spirit by making new and sometimes strange friends. The Water Dragon is so happy sharing his home with his turtle friends that he has been seen hanging out on top of them as they warm up under the heat lamp.
Many of the fish also seem to be enjoying the time with their tank mates, even our many brother and sister groups, such as our clownfish shoal, baby thornback rays and baby freshwater stingrays, who like every family on bank holiday may have the occasional family tantrum. Come and see our Piranhas that can live in groups of up to a thousand in the wild but have grown to a very large and old age at SeaQuarium with their life long tank friends. As well as our new arrivals the Moon Jellyfish that can rival any fish shoal by creating massive swarms in the wild. Read More > |

 In April this year, you can join the fight against marine litter by taking part in the MCS/M&S Big Beach Clean-up. Over 110 beaches across the UK and Ireland are going to see volunteers coming together to do a beach clean and litter survey which will highlight the issues of beach litter around our coastlines. Hosted by your local M&S store team, the beach clean and survey will last a couple of hours, leaving the rest of the day free for you to enjoy the beach. Read More > |

 An invasion of jelly-like, pulsing and stinging creatures has arrived at Weston-super-Mare SeaQuarium. Luckily the displays staff were expecting these strange animals for their latest investment "Out of the Blue" which displays two different species of Jellyfish. Named for their ghostly, translucent bells the moon jellies (Aurelia aurita) have delicate bodies that pulse and drift with the effortless grace of a ballerina. Their short tentacles are armed with stinging cells, called nematocysts, but the sting lacks the toxic, painful punch of other jellies. Read More > |
