About us
Experience a NEW adventure and come face to face with our Zebra Shark, Zeus!
Join us for a guided tour of our 3 largest exhibits, discussing facts about our impressive shark residents and uncovering misconceptions about them. Whilst at the top of the Atlantic Ocean Exhibit, the deepest exhibit in the UK, you'll help prepare Zeus' lunch then have your chance at feeding him! Zeus came to the National Marine Aquarium as part of a breeding programme in 2015 and has been in an inspiration ever since.
You may get a glimpse of our other animals like Southern Stingrays, Nurse Sharks, Sandbar Sharks, Sand Tiger Sharks to Friday the Green Sea Turtle. This experience is a unique way to engage with our energetic Zebra Shark, whilst supporting vital conservation work for our charity, the Ocean Conservation Trust. Our knowledgeable supervisor will answer any questions whilst on your experience and make you feel truly connected to the Ocean.
