Unfortunately we will not be taking any further bookings for the Turtle feeding experience due to Carrie the beloved Loggerhead Sea Turtle moving to a new home. Please check our socials for updates and further updates regarding her departure. As a result, we are currently not taking any turtle gift vouchers for this experience either. Thank you for your understanding and stay tuned for Carrie's exciting journey ahead! If you still have an unredeemed voucher, please get in touch with us at info@oceanarium.co.uk so we can look at alternative options.
What does the experience involve?
Watch in amazement as the Oceanarium’s most loved creature Carrie the Loggerhead Turtle, swims over to say hello, as you feed her!
Alongside one of our Aquarists, help to prepare Carrie's food, then take centre stage when feeding her during our popular Turtle feeding presentation. The experience lasts approximately 30 minutes.
