Exploris
About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
Exploris Aquarium is a fantastic place to take the whole family. There are so many different aquatic species to discover in separate sections of the aquarium. The Irish Coast Zone houses some of the native species, including bass, mullet, crabs, cuttlefish and lumpsuckers! The Open Sea Tank can be viewed from above or beneath and offers an insight into what lies in deeper waters. Kids will love the Discovery Pools, where they will see starfish, rays, sea urchin and small sharks. Check out the NIE Seal Sanctuary, which aims to care for orphaned, injured and sick seals.
