Overview

Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium is a family-friendly tourist attraction that offers visitors an interactive and enjoyable experience, providing insights into the diverse range of sea creatures that inhabit the local waters. The aquarium’s mission is to inspire and engage visitors, encouraging them to explore and appreciate the incredible marine life found along the Jurassic coast.

Things to do

The aquarium is a fascinating and enjoyable visitor attraction filled with local sea creatures, historical exhibits, and informative presentations. Visitors have the chance to interact with sea creatures, such as lobsters, crabs, and starfish, all of which provide fantastic photo opportunities. The aquarium offers a unique experience of hand-feeding the mullet, where visitors can lower their clenched hand containing food into the water, and then slowly open their hand to reveal the food to the friendly and tame creatures. The mullet will gently suck, caress and ‘kiss’ the hand as they feast upon the food. This experience is one-of-a-kind, and the aquarium staff believe that they haven’t found anything similar to it. Visitors can also hold a starfish in the palm of their hand, which is a fascinating experience for all ages.
