Got Questions?

Here’s the questions people are asking about Fowey Aquarium

The aquarium showcases marine life native to the Cornish and British coastal waters, including local fish species, crustaceans, and sea invertebrates found in the waters around Fowey and the wider South West coast.

Yes — the aquarium is a great choice for toddlers and young children. Its compact layout is easy to navigate with little ones, and the close-up views of sea creatures tend to be a big hit with younger visitors.

Most families spend around 30 to 60 minutes at the aquarium. It's a compact attraction, so it works brilliantly as part of a longer day out exploring Fowey rather than a standalone full-day visit.

Fowey Aquarium is generally open during the spring and summer tourist season, but hours and availability can vary outside peak periods. It's worth checking directly before planning your visit.

There is no dedicated parking at the aquarium itself, and Fowey town centre has very limited spaces. Visitors are advised to use the town's outlying car parks or the Park & Float service from Bodinnick across the estuary.

The aquarium itself has limited on-site facilities, but being located right on Fowey's Town Quay, there are plenty of cafés, restaurants, and pubs within easy walking distance in the town.
