Hastings Aquarium

Hastings Aquarium is a lively marine attraction located on Rock-a-Nore Road in the historic Old Town area of Hastings, East Sussex. Housing over 3,500 aquatic animals and reptiles, the aquarium features a variety of immersive zones: the Native Zone displays UK sea life such as seabass, lobsters, rays, and starfish; the Ray Tank offers up-close ray encounters; the centrepiece Ocean Tank holds an underwater tunnel filled with more than 300 tropical species including blacktip reef sharks, pufferfish, tangs, and triggerfish; and the Jungle Room showcases reptiles, amphibians, insects, and arachnids. Five daily animal presentations — including shark feeds and archerfish demonstrations — are included with standard admission. Accessible facilities and a welcoming atmosphere make Hastings Aquarium a fantastic family day out on the East Sussex coast.
