Tynemouth Aquarium

Tynemouth Aquarium is a year-round family attraction located in North Shields, Tyne and Wear, England, offering more than forty displays featuring a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. Visitors can explore a walk-through water tunnel where small sharks swim overhead, observe a large seal enclosure with an underwater viewing window, and encounter loggerhead turtles, piranhas, jellyfish, seahorses, octopus, and tropical fish from around the world. The River Giants exhibit transports guests to a tropical rainforest environment with impressively large freshwater species, while a dedicated seal hospital on site focuses on rehabilitating injured seals. Regular daily talks and feeding demonstrations, including popular seal shows, add educational value to the visit. Accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs, the aquarium is a welcoming destination for families exploring the northeast coast of England.
