Who are we?

Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium provides an amazing undersea adventure through the world’s seas and oceans. Marvel at over 40 naturally-themed displays and be transported from the rocky Cornish shores to the exotic coral reefs!

At the aquarium’s heart is a giant ocean tank with an underwater walkthrough tunnel, home to hundreds of colourful fish, tropical sharks and Omiros, the rescued loggerhead turtle.

Head along to interactive talks and feeding demonstrations with the keepers and understand more about the importance of our world’s waters. Can you help to protect them?

PLUS enjoy a host of activities and events for all the family on selected weekends and school holidays throughout the year.

We’re all indoors so enjoy a trip whatever the weather!
