The Blue Planet is an aquarium whose website describes a journey beneath the surface. Its programme names aquariums for the ocean, coral reef and rainforest, and animals including sharks, rays, a sea turtle, sea otters, piranhas, arapaima and archerfish. Visitors can watch animal feedings and hear talks about the animals. The programme shown for 3 November includes sessions with cownose rays, arapaima, piranhas and sea otters, as well as talks at the Ocean and Coral Reef aquariums.

The venue’s website advises buying tickets online before arrival. It says online purchases secure admission and save money; the material gives no ticket price. Opening hours are 10:00 to 21:00 on Mondays and 10:00 to 17:00 from Tuesday to Sunday. Since today is Tuesday, the listed closing time is 17:00. The website warns that the number of tickets is limited. Check the programme for the date of your visit before planning around a particular feeding or talk.
