This is right on the seafront in Bournemouth and is a great place to visit for a couple of hours. We watched the turtles being fed and watched otters playing... amazing! It can get very busy though!

A fun place to visit. Lots of fish considering the size of the place and the Otters are beautiful. The tunnel was great also!
