THE LOCAL UNDERSEA ADVENTURE

Overlooking the busy but beautiful Solent, Portsmouth’s Blue Reef Aquarium takes visitors on an undersea adventure.

From the rich variety of British waters to the beauty of a tropical coral reef and more than 40 other displays – the aquarium offers a fascinating window into the hidden world beneath the waves. At the aquarium’s heart is a giant tropical reef tank that is home to hundreds of brightly-coloured reef fish. Visitors are able to get up close to these creatures and see life from the sea bed, thanks to the underwater, walk-through tunnel.

During the summer, families can take a break in the outside play area and splash pool.
