Tickets are valid for one full day so you are welcome to go around the aquarium as many times as you like. You can also leave the building and come back later if you like!

As a city centre attraction we do not have our own car park, the closest is Millennium Square Care Park. There are lots of other city centre car parks too if you prefer.
