Welcome to Blue Reef Aquarium in Tynemouth

Situated minutes walk from historic Tynemouth town centre and opposite the beautiful Longsands, the Blue Reef Aquarium is a stunning place to visit.

Over 40 living displays reveal the sheer variety of life in the deep; from sharks and lobsters to seahorses and tropical fish.

At the Aquarium's heart is a giant ocean tank where an underwater walkthrough tunnel offers incredibly close encounters with the stunning beauty of a tropical coral reef - home to hundreds of colourful fish and tropical sharks in all shapes and sizes.

Other displays are home to everything from giant Pacific octopus, poison dart frogs and nautilus to turtles, terrapins and a family of friendly asian otters.

Don't miss the amazing Seal Cove, a purpose-built outdoor facility provides the perfect environment for our captive-bred colony of harbour seals.
