Anglesey Sea Zoo was founded in 1983 on the
site of an oyster hatchery and has developed every year to become an important
visitor attraction.
The Anglesey Sea Zoo is Wales largest marine aquarium, nestling on the shores
of the Menai Strait, and with over 50 species it has re-created the habitats of the
fauna and flora found around Anglesey and the North Wales Coastline. From the
intricacy and complexity of the invertebrates in the Bone Free Zone, your tour takes
you through a Shipwreck, a walkover the Shark Pool and then on to the wonders of
the Open Ocean. Our underwater camera gives you a fish's eye view of the Fish
Forest looking out as well as members of your family looking in! The aim is to provide
an exciting yet educational visit, incorporating the conservation efforts to preserve
the local marine environment.
Tropical displays include piranhas and seahorses amongst others. Zoo staff
are actively involved in seahorse conservation and support the work of Project Seahorse.
Learn more about the life of a lobster at the Lobster Hatchery of Wales. Find out
more about the local sealife at the supervised Discovery Pool sessions (This is a free
facility available during local school holidays).
The Shop has gifts to suit all ages and pockets. For that extra special
something why not visit the Pearls Shack and pick your own Japanese Pearl Oyster. Learn
about how pearls form and have your pearl valued and set in a range of gold and
silver jewellery. The outside facilities, including Radio Controlled Boats, Aquablast,
Crazy Golf and fun Photo Boards make Anglesey Sea Zoo a great family day out.
