You've heard of Night at the Museum, but do you ever wonder if things go bump in the night after hours in Exploris Aqarium?
Well wonder no more as the Portaferry attraction are hosting special 'Night at the Aquarium' events complete with dinner and a lantern lit tour of the tanks.
Your evening will begin with a delicious two course meal using locally sourced ingredients at the Portaferry hotel.
After dinner you will arrive at Exploris Aquarium for a fascinating guided tour of Northern Ireland’s only aquarium. The lantern lit tour will allow you to explore just a fraction of the amazing animals found in oceans, globally and a lot closer to home.
Your tour guide led experience will allow you to delve deep into the UK water – which although you may find grey, dark and boring they are home to thousands of species. In fact over 2000 species have been recorded in Strangford Lough.
After exploring the waters around you, you will welcomed to Exploris tropical beaches were you will see displays of fish from as far away as Australia.
Be wowed by the large ocean tank as the black tip reef sharks circle above your head and visit the seal sanctuary to hear more about the important work Exploris Aquarium does with vulnerable and injured seal pups.
No visit to the aquarium is complete without saying hello to our snappy croc Sobek before entering the dark depths of the rainforest which is filled with snakes, geckos, lizards and dragons to name a few.
If you are feeling brave enough there will be an opportunity for a meet and greet with one of these wonderful reptilian creatures.
The events which are open to both adults and kids will take place on August 30, September 27 and October 25. To book tickets simply visit Exploris website.
