A 15-exhibit aquarium inside the Horniman Museum covering British ponds, Fijian coral reefs, jellyfish, seahorses, poison dart frogs, and live coral. Outdoor animal area includes sheep and alpacas. Strong value entry with toddler-specific activities.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with toddlers and preschoolers. The intimate scale - 10 to 30 minutes maximum - is perfectly matched to short attention spans, and the toddler-specific activities throughout keep young children engaged. Older children may find the four-room layout too brief.

“I only wish to make it there one day, but I love everything Jamie Craggs does and he’s one of my biggest motivators and I’m one of his biggest supporters. I love him. Follow that man.”

“It's good for small children. The aquarium is in fact just a very small feature of the museum which you pay extra to go into. It was perfect for our 2 year old who went around it multiple times. The set up is definitely geared towards toddlers due to it's size and the activities throughout, namely colourings, picture books and some dress up. If you were to go without children I imagine you'd be disappointed down to the entry fee. Selection of fish is fine, nothing overly spectacular but they have lovely biome set ups and paladarium style tanks that exhibit both fish and anthibians.”

“The aquaria is nice but it’s extremely small, just 4 rooms, it took us 10 minutes to complete it :/”
