Babies enter free and ramps and lift fit prams, but no stated nursing room and only basic change tables; limited baby-specific stimuli, so confirm facilities and visit at quieter hours.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: This gives time for exhibit strolls, feeding demos and breaks with your baby without rushing.
Stroller-Friendly Exhibit Walk:
Use ramps and lifts to move smoothly through two floors of marine exhibits.
Tip: Ask staff where to park your stroller during busy feeding sessions.
Hands-On Touch Tank:
Help your baby feel starfish and spider crabs under supervision.
Tip: Check at Reception for touch-tank session times.
Big Fish Feeding Tour:
Watch staff feed small sharks, rays and turbot in the Ray Pool.
Tip: Arrive 5 minutes early for a spot near the viewing glass.
Summer weekends are busy; choose midweek visits for calmer halls. Check Reception for feeding demo times which vary by season.

Absolutely loved this experience ❤️ I could of spent all day here! The fish were very active, the staff were nice and welcoming. My little boy got frightened by the loud noise at the entrance and was crying and a staff member appeared with ear defenders and stickers and saved the day. We really enjoyed feeding times and the information. The tanks are immaculate ✨️ The octopus 🐙 was very entertai...

Huge ray/ shark/ flat fish tank! Highly recommend for parents of tiny humans! Our son was screaming and tired before we entered, he calmed right down watching the fishies, stayed in the stroller the whole time and was able to see so many aquatic animals from his level. Octopus tank was awesome, price was right, and the whole aquarium was a good size for little ones, not too overwhelming.

Amazing place for kids. My toddler had a wonderful day at the aquarium. Its not very far from the center. You can walk or take a bus to the location. It is located at such a beautiful place, just across the vast ocean 😍

Great for family kids were excited. Place could be upgraded but generally its interesting. Gift shop with very poor stock, possibly because of Sunday, but still not great. Big car park beside. Place to eat something beside i recommend supermacks about 300m away. There is in this building too but crowded and various quality

Absolutely amazing. We had a 2 year old, 5 and 6 year old. The place was magic, lovely staff, excellent installations. We went 1.5 hours out of our way to stop here on route to Kerry and went to the coffee shop beside it. A fabulous stopover, will visit again!
