A Day at the Blue Planet Aquarium with Cheshire Hotels

This is a marine and freshwater aquarium and was opened in 1998 by the Queen. The aquarium was the biggest in the United Kingdom at the time and still takes some beating. It makes the perfect day out from your Cheshire hotel and adults as well as children will enjoy its state-of-the-art services and facilities. The shape of the aquarium is itself dramatic, modelled in the form of a crashing wave, and it was built by the same firm of developers who were responsible for the famous Deep Sea World in Scotland. The pools, tanks and transparent tunnels inside will introduce you to different aquatic habitats and there are themed areas too, reproducing lakes and tropical rivers.
