Coral Sea

The centrepiece of Bristol Aquarium is the enormous Coral Sea display. This spectacular display themed on a warm water coral reef provides an awe inspiring home to over 250 marine animals.

At over 250,000 litres this massive display is where our famous sharks can be found patrolling the reef alongside stingrays, pufferfish, and numerous colourful species.

Visitors can enjoy the closest of undersea encounters in an underwater walk-through tunnel through the reef, from inside a glass cavern and via bubble-helmet viewing points.

The Coral Sea display also hosts daily talks and feeds so visitors can learn more about our coral species and see how they interact in their huge warm water environment.

Because the display is so large a team of divers are used to maintain our spectacular corals and seabed.
