Exploris is Northern Ireland’s only public aquarium and seal sanctuary. The touch tanks at Exploris give you the opportunity to touch and hold a variety of living marine animals and are run by experienced guides at regular intervals throughout the day. Exploris rehabilitates Northern Ireland’s sick, injured or orphaned seals. You are taken through the seal’s journey back to health and eventual release. The nature of rehabilitation means there are times when there are no seals in the sanctuary.
