A visit to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, with guided tours and a VR experience


The aquarium, which is the largest in the UK, features local animals and Atlantic Ocean and Great Barrier Reef tanks. 

Attendees will meet outside the NMA at 10:00 for a 10:30 start. Everyone will be divided into four groups of up to 10, and remain in them for the whole day for a rotation of four activities - a guided tour of the exhibits, a behind-the-scenes tour, a VR workshop and free time to explore the aquarium. 

Please note: if you wish to be with others in the same group, please specify in the 'other requests' box when booking. 

There will be a short break for lunch, however lunch will not be provided and attendees are encouraged to visit the onsite café. 

The NMW closes at 17:00 but attendees are free to stay on until then after group activities finish at 15:00. Participants are to remain seated in the VR workshop.
