School Visits to
Fort Victoria Aquarium
| A key part of most school visits is the guided tour which normally
lasts about 40 minutes and which can emphasise any aspects of the
Aquarium to compliment your studies. Pupils should learn about the huge
variety of types of life to be found in the sea, examples of food
chains, some contrasting ways creatures have of finding food while
avoiding becoming a meal themselves, some extremely good examples of
camouflage and some ways in which they can help to conserve marine life.
If you are planning to look at the seashore many rock pool inhabitants
can be seen here as they look or behave when the tide is in, for
instance Sea anemones have their beautiful tentacles extended rather
than looking like lumps of jelly! pupils can see gobies and Blennies and
be pinched by crabs. Worksheets are available free of charge at the Aquarium or you can print them yourself from this Worksheet.PDF (2.34MB) The 2008 cost of a school visit to the Aquarium is £1.50 per pupil, this includes the guided tour and worksheets. Many schools who visit the Aquarium also take advantage of other attractions at Fort Victoria making a varied and interesting half or full day of activities.
