An underwater adventure to see hundreds of different species of animals at the Oceanarium in Bournemouth.
Oceanarium Bournemouth is open throughout the summer, and on Saturday 25 July you can head down for an underwater adventure. The main draw is the oceanarium itself, where you'll come face to fin with hundreds of different species of animals. It's a good spot for a summer day out in Bournemouth, especially if you're after something that gets you indoors and away from the heat for a bit.
What makes it work is the sheer variety. You're not just seeing one or two tanks; you'll find hundreds of different species of animals across the exhibits, so there's plenty to look at even if you've been before. It's the kind of place where you can spend as much or as little time as you like, drifting from one tank to the next and seeing things you wouldn't normally come across on a walk along the seafront.
