Lakes Aquarium, Public aquarium in Lakeside, Cumbria, England.
The Lakes Aquarium presents over 30 exhibits featuring freshwater species, including trout, pike, and char found in Lake Windermere and surrounding waters.
The Lakes Aquarium initiated its educational mission in 1997, establishing itself as a center for aquatic wildlife observation on Lake Windermere's southern shore.
The facility maintains daily feeding presentations where staff members share information about local aquatic species and conservation methods with visitors.
Visitors can reach the aquarium by boat from Waterhead, by train via Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, or by car with available parking facilities.
The aquarium features a mountain-top waterfall display that guides visitors through exhibits following the natural flow of water from highlands to estuaries.
