The aquarium of the lakes has been in business for quite a few years now, and I live so close to it and I have never been. Well until a few days ago anyway. It was one of the things I kept on meaning to do. But never got round to it. I woke up and decided to go, with my nephew. To my surprise it was quite cheap and very entertaining for both my nephew and me.
ADMISSION PRICES
Adult £5.75
Child £3.75
I thought this was very reasonable, and I was told that I could have made a further saving if I had purchased a combined Aquarium and Boat ticket. So if you decide to go you may as well go the whole hog and go by boat, as it is still very cheap.
The Aquarium of the Lakes takes you on a journey to discover the types of life found
In and around the Lakes. It has, the UK's largest collection of freshwater fish, and a walk underwater along Windermere's re-created lake bed, a look at the amazing diving ducks and a chance meet their mischievous otters and even come face to face with Lakeland's pike, you can also encounter sharks and rays from around the local coast
The Aquarium's stunning displays follow the fascinating journey of a Lakeland River
From it's beginning on the mountaintop to its final destination of Morecambe Bay.
With the aid of up to date aquarium technology the Aquarium offers multi-level viewing
Over 2 floors and over 30 wonderful displays that feature the vast array of life found in and around the Lake District.
It was fantastic, they even had Murals on the walls to make it feel like you were on the banks of Windermere with woodland streams and the shores of Morecambe Bay, and they even had sound effects complete this illusion.
The Aquarium provides an enjoyable and educational experience for all ages, I had a fantastic day, and so do my nephew, the only problem now is that he keeps on asking to go back, But you can only take so much can't you.
OPENING HOURS
The Aquarium of the Lakes is open daily throughout the year from 9:00am and closes at 6:00pm. But be sure to get there at least 2 hours prior to closing, as you may not be able to see everything.
Thank you for reading bubbles.
