Galway Atlantaquaria

The National Aquarium of Ireland is the jewel in the crown of visitor attractions in the West of Ireland. As Ireland's largest aquarium, it is home to 170 species of marine and freshwater life including Seahorses, Stingrays, and their gentle giant, the Angel Stark. Learn the amazing story of Bradán, the Salmon, King of Fish. Visitors can hold sleepy starfish and giant Spider Crabs, as well as take part in the daily feeding frenzy, or explore 'the deep' in a model submarine. The first floor includes a series of exhibits on the life of the Irish Salmon. Both adults and children are enthralled by our series of storyboards which depict the life of Bradàn the Atlantic Salmon and his adventures from the mouth of the corrib to Greenland and back again!
