Anglesey Sea Zoo

Anglesey Sea Zoo is a public aquarium in Brynsiencyn displaying more than 40 tanks of marine species found in British coastal waters, including octopuses, seahorses, and conger eels. The collection focuses on animals that naturally inhabit the surrounding local seas.

The facility opened in 1983 and became Wales' largest marine aquarium, focusing on local aquatic species from the start. This early establishment allowed it to develop expertise in displaying native marine ecosystems.

The facility reflects how the surrounding waters shape local understanding of marine life and the importance of these ecosystems to the region. Visitors discover which species actually live in the nearby seas through hands-on presentations and observation.

The site is easy to navigate and includes a café serving local food as well as a gift shop for souvenirs. Visitors with mobility needs will find accessible facilities throughout, and outdoor areas offer additional activities to explore.

The facility runs a specialized lobster hatchery and seahorse breeding program to support conservation of native marine species. These breeding efforts contribute knowledge that helps protect these animals in their natural habitats.
