Everyone rushes to the shark tunnel, but don’t sleep on the Rainforest zone. It’s humid, it’s loud with frogs, and there’s a giant octopus that occasionally stares at you like you owe it money.

Also: the penguin enclosure is a riot. They waddle up to the glass, peck at their own reflections, and occasionally honk like they’ve just told a terrible joke. My friend Dave spent ten minutes doing a penguin impression—which, honestly, was the highlight of the trip.
And if you’re into irony, the gift shop sells plastic fish toys for £15. Because nothing says “I respect marine life” like buying a cheap, chipped plastic shark. (I bought one anyway. Don’t judge me.)
But Wait—Is It Really 2 for 1?
Yes, but read the fine print. Some offers exclude school holidays or special events. For example, if you show up during “Shark Week” (not a real thing at this aquarium, but imagine), the deal might disappear faster than a squid in ink.
You also need two people to use the deal—obvious, I know, but I’ve seen solo travelers try to argue with staff. (Spoiler: it didn’t work.) So grab a friend, a sibling, or that coworker you tolerate. The deal works best when you’re both slightly broke and up for adventure.
