Blue Reef Aquarium Portsmouth will remain open to the public on Monday 19th September, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, to provide a peaceful place where visitors can reflect. We wish for our aquarium to be a respectful venue of calm and tranquillity for the National day of mourning.
The Aquarium displays will be open 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm) however we will not be hosting any talks or activities. We ask that visitors who wish to come, do so sensitively and with respect. Our intention is to provide a peaceful place where visitors can come together to reflect, giving the public the opportunity to mourn in a way that best suits them.
As a mark of respect, Blue Reef Aquarium Portsmouth will be strictly observing a 2minute silence at 11.55am to join the National moment of reflection.
If visitors require any further information, please speak to our team on portsmouth@bluereefaquarium.co.uk or on 023 92875222.
