Here at Bristol Aquarium we pride ourselves on providing conservation education through our talks, feeding shows and special activities.

Every school holidays we run special themed events with daytime activities all included in admission.

Make the most of your ticket by joining us at our 5 daily talks & feeds to discover more about the wonderful creatures of the deep and ask us anything about your favourite animals! 🐟

Find out more about our upcoming events below at the Aquarium and also in our Auditorium (additional charges may apply for auditorium or evening events where stated).


Bristol Aquarium – Even Calmer Days

Our dedicated Even Calmer days create a more relaxing sensory experience for any customers who may need it. We will be turning off our music, and children’s rides. We will be open an extra hour. We also increase our lighting some of our darker areas throughout the day.

On the 15th Non and 9th Dec we will be open until 5pm, last entry 4pm.

Our upcoming Even Calmer Days are:

Friday 15 November

Monday 9 December

Once purchased, tickets are valid for one day of your choice within 6 months from the date of purchase.
You do not need to book a time slot or a day. We endeavour to admit all visitors and will prioritise online tickets and members on days we are at capacity but due to the nature of the attraction’s one way system this is a very rare occurrence.
