Mull Aquarium

About this place

Small catch-and-release aquarium on Tobermory harbour showcasing local sea life.

Billed as one of the first catch-and-release aquariums of its kind in Europe, this small aquarium on Tobermory harbour displays local sea creatures gathered from the surrounding waters, which are cared for for a limited period before being returned to the sea. It's a compact visit rather than a sprawling one, but the focus on genuinely local species - rather than imported tropical fish - gives it a distinct, educational angle that suits curious children well. Staff are generally on hand to talk through what's on display. There's an admission charge, and the whole aquarium is indoors and on one accessible level.
