Special Exhibition: Once Upon a Sea
Once Upon a Sea is a special exhibition all about the history of the ocean and the spectacular sea creatures of the past.
The heart of the exhibit is 10 models of the most spectacular ocean creatures that ever lived. The models are life sized and represent a snippet of the most significant animals to have lived in the 550 million years of ocean history. From giant scaled octopi the size of a truck, to the 11-meter-long forefather of the white shark, the megalodon.
Do you dare touch sharks and rays?
In our Tropical Touch pool you can have a close encounter with sharks and rays, and if you dare, you can even put even pet them! There’s a huge difference between the skin of a shark and ray; come and try for yourself.
