The Lake District Coast Aquarium is situated on the harbour side at Maryport in Cumbria The Lake district Coast Aquarium opened in May 1997 and since then we have won several tourism awards including the Cumbria Tourism Award 2010. The Lake District Coast Aquarium Maryport houses over 55 themed tanks containing a variety of the marine life found around the Cumbrian coastline, from fish to crustaceans, as well as a purpose built tropical marine community reef tank. We pride ourselves in being one of the best places to see some of the varied marine life of the Irish Sea. We don’t keep any mammals like seals or otters, but have a huge variety of fish and invertebrates (starfish, lobsters, etc) in 45 carefully themed and informative displays. Your admission ticket allows you to re-enter the display area all day so you can enjoy seeing the fish being fed and listen to talks by the friendly staff.
