Located near the tower of Hercules is a science museum and a sea life aquarium centre, we decided to visit the aquarium despite seeing some poor reviews online; it turned out to be a great place to spend a few hours. Lots of local fish / critters and a fair few from warmer waters, there is a lot of information to read, and there is an area that is set out like Captn Nemo's Nautilus and outdoor area with seal pools. We were there for three hours and could have stayed for more really but the boys stated to get hungry.
Here is the Nautilus bit not really looking impressive in that photo though
There was a friendly lobster
I was stung by one of these diving off Mombasa in 1974, not a pleasant experience those feathery bits hide potentially deadly stinging spines.
and another pretty one
and perhaps less pretty but very friendly
hmmm a daft little puffer
Easy to get close up to the friendly seals
unfortunately there is a wet hands area, Rowan ended up with wet arms and tummy as well
some floating jellies
and a gallery with some impressive photos
