Local tip
Your ticket is valid for 6 days, so you can come back on a rainy afternoon.

Anglesey Sea Zoo is a family-run aquarium beside the Menai Strait near Brynsiencyn, focused on the sea life found around Britain. More than 40 tanks recreate real habitats: a kelp forest, a wave tank, a shipwreck, rock pools and the open sea. Look out for seahorses, octopus, conger eels, spider crabs, jellyfish and huge lobsters.

Conservation work on site includes a seahorse nursery, the Lobster Hatchery of Wales, crawfish research and turtle rescue. Talks and feeds run through the day, usually at least three, and are included in the ticket.

Good to know

There is no need to book: you pay at the door. Standard and family tickets stay valid for 6 days after purchase. The adventure playground and bouncy castle are free for visitors, while Barti Ddu's Crazy Golf costs extra. Eat at the Rockpool Café or bring a picnic to the outdoor tables. Going round the aquarium once takes most people about an hour.
