Living Coasts in Torquay is a coastal zoo, and definitely the best aquarium type attraction we have ever been to.
The macaroni penguins they have outside are amazing and N even said it is the best penguin enclosure she has seen. At feeding time the ropes were pulled back and the penguins came out to be fed.
They also have an excellent seal enclosure outside and the seals were very willingly sitting up on the rocks close to us posing for photographs.
Inside is where the magic began. As we made our way down through the mangroves (which was too noisy and dark for N), we came across a 'bubble' which you could sit, stand or lie in and it put you underwater in the seal enclosure. The seals were playing with N while she was there, coming up and laying alongside her. Living Coasts was quite quiet at the time so N could spend a lot of time interracting with them.
It was a very magical time that I don't think any of us will ever forget.
