Exploris Visit P1E 🦀🐙🦞

9th Jun 2026

What an exciting morning we had when Exploris Aquarium came to visit us with their wonderful touch tank experience!

We met lots of amazing sea creatures, including lobsters, crabs, starfish and sea urchins. Everyone was fascinated by the different animals and loved having the opportunity to gently touch and explore them up close. Some of the creatures even splashed at us, which caused lots of laughter and excitement!

Blair from Exploris Aquarium was fantastic and shared many interesting facts about each animal. We learned all about their habitats, behaviours and how they survive in the ocean. It was wonderful to be able to ask questions and learn directly from an expert.

The visit was a fantastic hands-on experience that really brought our learning to life.
