Blue Reef Aquarium Hastings sits on the Old Town seafront in the East Sussex town and over 30 naturally themed habitats transport you from the shoreline of Hastings to the tropical waters of the deep ocean. Highlights include seahorses, jelly fish, pufferfish, rays, banded cat sharks and a giant Pacific octopus.
At the centre of the attraction is a giant ocean exhibit with an underwater tunnel, which gives views of the reef sharks, stingrays and reef fish swimming overhead.
You can also view a collection of reptiles, and feeding sessions and animal encounters take place throughout the day.
