The Lagoon of Light

We now reach the present day, and the journey becomes one from Tropical Lagoon to The Ice Deserts of Antarctica

Discover the teeming life and the amazing colours and stories of a Tropical Lagoon.

Fins as Sharp as Scalpels

See Surgeon Fish with fins as sharp as scalpels swimming in the shallows of the warm lagoon waters and reveal the secrets of Zooplankton, the Fire Goby and the Saddled Butterfly Fish.

Super Senses

The Bonnethead Shark roams the shallow tropical lagoons hunting for buried worms and shellfish. It uses the special electrical sensors in its flattened head to pick up tiny electrical signals from the muscles of its prey.

Live Coral Tank

See our live coral tank for our conservation coral breeding programme especially designed to prevent live coral being taken from the wild for use in aquariums.

The Kingston Communications Discovery Corner

Here's a chance to learn more about native shores in this interactive fun area, specially for the little 'uns - touch pool sessions are held regularly.
