Aquarium sights in Scotland

  1. A

    St Andrews Aquarium

    Family-friendly St Andrews Aquarium has a seal pool, rays and sharks from Scottish waters and exotic tropical favourites. Once introduced to our finny friends, you can snack on them with chips in the cafe.

  2. Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary

    The Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary, 8 miles north of Oban on the shores of Loch Creran, provides a haven for orphaned seal pups. As well as the seal pools there are tanks housing herrings, rays and flatfish, touch pools for children, an otter sanctuary and displays on Scotland’s marine environment.

  3. Deep Sea World

    Situated at North Queensferry, just by the Forth bridges, it’s a blockbuster aquarium with all those ‘respect’ species like sharks and piranhas, as well as seals and touch pools with rays and other sea creatures. You can even arrange guided dives with sharks. It’s a little cheaper if you pre-purchase tickets online.

  4. Orkney Marine Life Aquarium

    This aquarium showcases the fascinating collection of marine animals found in Scapa Flow and Orcadian coastal waters. There’s a rock pool that allows up-close-and-personal inspections of local creatures – great for kids. Injured seals that have been nursed back to health can be viewed in open-air pools. Turn left off the A961 just after crossing to South Ronaldsay, coming from Kirkwall.
