An Immersive Marine Adventure
Lyme Regis Aquarium is a hidden gem for marine enthusiasts. Couples will appreciate the aquarium’s cozy and quiet atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely day by the sea. Begin with a walk along the rocky shoreline to see the fascinating marine exhibits, showcasing everything from exotic lobsters to colorful anemones, which are native to the area.
For families, the aquarium goes beyond observation with hands-on experiences that make the day even more memorable. Kids will love the unique chance to hand-feed the shoals of friendly grey mullet, meet “Harry” the curious hermit crab, and hold a starfish in the touch pool. The aquarium also features interactive displays about Lyme Bay’s ecosystem and fishing history, giving both young and old the opportunity to learn about the ocean life and the importance of marine conservation. These interactive moments create lasting memories for families and add a deeper layer of connection to the Jurassic Coast.
