Dive into the deep - we’re going Under the Sea celebrating man’s exploits under the water!

  • Cornwall’s Visitor Attraction of the Year
  • Hands-on fun with activities throughout the school holidays
  • One of the only three of the world’s natural underwater viewing galleries

Dive into a world of shipwrecks, see the very first submarine, explore a human torpedo, climb inside a hyperbaric chamber, experience the history of diving, delve into a diving bell and see what it takes to live, work and play in our oceans. Join us on a journey to the deep.

Roll up your sleeves with hands-on activities to suit everyone. Try crabbing (subject to weather), rope making and knot tying. Lose yourself in tales from the seas and find your artistic skills with our creative sessions. Whenever there’s a school holiday, you’ll find a huge variety of hands-on fun for all the family.
