The aquarium opened in 1994 in the site of the disused Battery Quarry, below the Forth Rail Bridge. It is now owned and operated by the Spanish Aspro Ocio Group, who also run the Blue Planet Aquarium in England and many other aquaria in Europe.

One of the main attractions is the 112 meter long transparent acrylic underwater viewing tunnel, which is one of the longest of its kind in the world.

The tank with the tunnel contains 4,500,000 ltrs of sea water pumped in from the River Forth.

The aquarium also displays various tanks and rock pools containing exotic fish and other sea animals.


In 2005, the aquarium opened a new seal enclosure which houses resident seals as well as injured ones rescued by the SSPCA.
