Planning on visiting on a wet weather day?

Please be aware that on wet days during school holidays and weekends, the Oceanarium can get extremely busy. 
Although we don’t have any maximum capacity as we are classed as a walk-through attraction, we are very aware of a sensible limit of visitors and will stop admitting people when we reach this. This means that if you visit on a wet day in the school holidays or on weekends, please be advised that you may have to queue for a long time to get in (some of which may be outside without cover), and that it will be very busy once you are inside the aquarium, particularly around feeding times. Regarding this, we have to stagger access to the aquarium which is organically achieved through the optional photo capture point in admissions and further controlled by duty managers and staff onsite. Please note buying online does not guarantee fast track entry. 
Please be aware that Penguin Beach Encounter is an outside exhibit so wet weather clothing is advisable. 
The Oceanarium is open 364 days per year (closed Christmas Day) and is an ALL-weather attraction, suitable for any weather condition; not just rainy days. However, we look forward to welcoming you on whichever day you choose to visit.
