What you can expect

  • Galway Atlantaquaria is Ireland’s largest native-species aquarium. Located in Salthill and overlooking Galway Bay on the Wild Atlantic Way, we care for many native marine and freshwater animals from Ireland’s rivers, lakes, canals, and ocean.
    For over 25 years, Galway Atlantaquaria has combined culture, history, and a deep connection to the water - all reflected in our Aquarium presentation and community work.
    Conservation and education are at the heart of everything we do. Our programmes now reach local, national, and global audiences.
    At Galway Atlantaquaria, visitors can explore the wonders of the aquatic world through interactive exhibits, live talks, and expert guidance, discovering Ireland’s diverse marine and freshwater species and habitats.

    Welcome to Galway Atlantaquaria. Our goal is to Engage, Educate, and Inspire.

    The aquarium is a proud member of EAZA and BIAZA, ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental education.
