Family Adventure for Two Adults and Four Children for £8.80 at Exploris, The Northern Ireland Aquarium (Value £22)

The seas and oceans are home to some of the world’s greatest secrets, from pearls and oysters to reggae-crooning Trinidadian crabs. Drop in on some of their inhabitants with today’s Groupon: £8.80 instead of £22 for a family day adventure at Exploris, The Northern Ireland Aquarium.

A marine metropolis situated in the precious conservation village of Portaferry, Exploris is not only a showcase of the richness and species diversity of Northern Ireland’s waters but also a sanctuary in which maltreated seal pups can receive the maternal care that they require. On the burgeoning shores of the Marine Nature Reserve, the state-of-the-art facilities house the neglected creatures from rescue to rehabilitation, while the new Education Suite and Exhibition Hall provide excited and expectant visitors with an enjoyable educational experience to take home in memory form.

Groupon holders can observe and discover the intricate relationships between the many species indigenous to Stranford Lough and the island’s coastline. Having admirably recreated the real-life settings in which each breed naturally dwells, Exploris provides an opportunity to see aquatic life unfold before your very eyes. You may also get the opportunity to see the careful reintegration of the abandoned seals, watched from their emotional arrival to their equally moving reintroduction into the world that they know and love.

Jaw dropping, awe inspiring, beautiful marine creatures. Take a trip to Exploris Aquarium and witness the amazing spectacle of what life is like in our local waters. I'm a water baby, always have been, always will be and sea life fascinates me. [sic]
