Galway Atlantaquaria
The Galway Atlantaquaria, Seapoint Promenade, Salthill Follow the R336 (Griffin Road southwest from the town centre), 091 585100 [email protected] (http://www.nationalaquarium.ie), is a must see if you are interested in the sea and its inhabitants. It is not the usual tropical fish collection that you might find anywhere, but they have beautifully mirrored the life around the Irish coasts and show the animals and plants in a realistic environment, just as you might find them 50 meters outside of the building in the real sea. Be sure to ask one of the staff about the 30 cm large but harmless giant crabs on the second floor, he might just pick one out of the basin and put it into your hands, an experience you´ll never forget! Or pet the flounders and rays in the "touch pool".
