Here’s the questions people are asking about Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay

Yes, it's very well suited to young children. The touch pools are a firm favourite with toddlers, and the displays are at low levels so little ones get a great view throughout.

Most families spend around two hours inside, though you could easily stretch it to longer if you attend feeding shows and take your time at the interactive areas.

The aquarium is entirely indoors, making it a brilliant choice whatever the Cornish weather decides to do. It's one of Newquay's most popular bad-weather day trips.

There is no dedicated on-site car park, but several public car parks are located close to the Towan Promenade area in Newquay town centre within easy walking distance.

The aquarium is pushchair and wheelchair friendly, with level or ramped access throughout most of the attraction. It's worth contacting the venue in advance if you have specific accessibility requirements.

There is a café on site for snacks and light refreshments. Outside food policies can vary, so it's worth checking with the venue directly before your visit.
