Boo Planet Aquarium

25th October – 2nd November

This Halloween, Blue Planet Aquarium is transforming into the spooktacular Boo Planet Aquarium – an underwater world bursting with family-friendly frights, tricks, and treats! 👻

Step into a sea of spooky surprises as you explore the aquarium, follow our Tricky Trail, and uncover the underwater world around every corner. Keep your eyes peeled for our mischievous Scuba Skeletons making a splash during the Aqua Theatre Shows (11:30am, 1:30pm & 3:30pm daily).

Get hands-on in our Creepy Craft Area, dig for treasures in the Spooky Sandpit, and take part in our Halloween Treat Hunt (£3 per bag, available at admissions). Little monsters can also enjoy a spooky activity booklet packed with games and puzzles!

Come along in your best fancy dress for a chance to be featured on our socials – we can’t wait to see your ghoulish get-ups! 🎭
