Families traveling with children, or all-ages visitors looking for educational fun will love SeaLife Centre, which opened in 1872 and is the oldest still-operating aquarium in the world. The high vaulted ceilings and original Victorian architecture are lit up in bright colors, welcoming guests into the halls and arcades of the aquarium, where they will find sharks, sea turtles, seahorses, anemones, sting rays, and more. The ocean tunnel allows guest to walk right underneath some incredible sea life as it swims above, and there are several talks and feeding times each day throughout the course of the day so guests can learn about various types of sea life. There’s even a rock pool touch tank, where visitors can touch sea life like starfish and anemones.
