About 

Located on the Salthill Promenade overlooking Galway Bay along the Wild Atlantic Way, Galway Atlantaquaria is Ireland’s largest native-species aquarium.

For more than 25 years, we’ve been dedicated to showcasing and caring for Ireland’s unique marine and freshwater wildlife. Home to hundreds of species from our rivers, lakes, canals, and coastline, the aquarium offers visitors an up-close look at the rich biodiversity of Irish waters.

Education and conservation are at the core of everything we do. Through engaging exhibits and outreach programmes, we inspire local, national, and international audiences to better understand and protect our shared aquatic environment.

Make a Marine Memory

Galway Atlantaquaria is a fully accessible, all-weather attraction open year-round. Across two floors of interactive exhibits, visitors can discover hundreds of native species and enjoy something new with every visit.

Galway Atlantaquaria has a beautiful Marine Themed Gift Shop, ideal gift ideas for all occasions.

Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, a school group, or a tour group, our welcoming team is ready to help you create an unforgettable marine experience.
