Sharks, rays, octopuses and starfish are all here in one of Ireland's most impressive aquaria. Try a "touch tank" and get prickled by a sea urchin or ticked by a ray. Hang around and it's bound to be feeding time for the inhabitants of one of the giant tanks, specially constructed so you can witness feeding frenzy at close range. The open sea tank is host to sharks and giant rays. Most of the species are from local waters, though that doesn't make the wolf fish seem any less exotic when you meet him eye to eye. Your kids will love it here, and you will too - if only for the big orange plastic fish you can buy in the gift shop that you can't get anywhere else.
