[edit] History

The aquarium opened in 1994 in the site of the disused Battery Quarry, below the Forth Rail Bridge[1]. It is owned and operated by the Spanish Aspro Ocio Group, who also run the Blue Planet Aquarium in England and many more aquaria in Europe.

[edit] Exhibits

One of the main attractions is the 112 meter long transparent acrylic underwater viewing tunnel, which is the longest of its kind in the world [2][2].

The aquarium also displays various tanks and rock pools containing exotic fish and other sea animals.

In 2005, the attraction opened a new seal enclosure which houses resident seals as well as injured ones rescued by the SSPCA.
