Aquarium currently closed! An unexploded ordnance has been found in the Solent by the Coastal Defense Scheme. As a result the seafront has been evacuated and the aquarium will remain closed until it has been made safe. We are sorry for the inconvenience and remind all our visitors that your tickets are valid for the next 6 months.
