Getting here by car

The National Marine Aquarium is located in the Coxside area of Plymouth. Follow the brown and white fish signs, which can be found on all entry roads into the city.

The recommended route is via the A38 to Marsh Mills (Sainsbury's) then along the A374 Embankment Road. The route for the Aquarium and Barbican Car Park (main parking for the Aquarium) is signposted from here.

If you have SatNav the postcode is: PL4 0DX

Please note: Car Parking - The Barbican car park is Pay & Display and there are no change facilities. We recommend that visitors plan to spend 3 hours (cost £4.20) at the Aquarium.

Leave the car… Why not leave the car and travel to the Aquarium more sustainably?

We are just a 15-minute walk from the city centre through the historic Barbican and on all local bus routes. For up-to-date local travel information visit: www.plymgo.com
