Take the ultimate undersea safari at the award-winning Blue Reef Aquarium in Tynemouth where there's a world of underwater adventure just waiting to be discovered.
Explore the drama of the British coast, the underwater gardens of the Mediterranean and the dazzling beauty of a spectacular coral reef.
Living displays reveal the sheer variety of life in the deep; from adorable seals and otters to seahorses and graceful stingrays.
At the Aquarium's heart is a giant ocean tank where an underwater walkthrough tunnel offers incredibly close encounters with the stunning beauty of a tropical coral reef - home to hundreds of colourful fish and tropical sharks in all shapes and sizes.
Don't miss Blue Reef's amazing Seal Cove. Giant viewing panels and a ramped walkway provide visitors with an unrivalled opportunity to admire the seals' grace and agility from both above and below the waterline.
As well as innovative displays, informative daily talks and feeding demonstrations, there's an ever-changing programme of special events and exhibitions throughout the year from Pirates Weekends to Shark Week - check out the website (link above)for full details.
