Lakes Aquarium

The Lakes Aquarium brings your group face to face with a vast array of creatures from the furthest reaches of the globe – from fierce piranha and dainty seahorses, to menacing pike and diving ducks.

Whether you are looking for an educational visit or a fun trip out, the Lakes Aquarium is an all weather experience, suitable for all ages and abilities, ideally situated next to picturesque Lake Windermere.

Guided Tour

We recommend that all education groups choose to take up the offer of a free guided tour. This will further enhance your trip and really bring the visit to life! Tours are suitable for all ages and abilities as the tour guide will adapt the style and content to fulfil the individual needs of the group. A tour for pre-school children might include extracts from a relevant story (i.e. The Fish That Could Wish), tours for Key Stage 2 pupils might include information on the water cycle and habitats whilst GNVQ students might like to learn more about our customer service policies.

Please discuss the requirements of your group with our Education Co-ordinator when booking your visit.

The advised maximum group size for a guided tour is 25 children. Larger groups will be divided into more manageable numbers for guided tours. We recommend that you allow at least one to one and a half hours for your visit. Please also allow further time for your pupils to experience the Virtual Dive Bell and to browse in the gift shops.
