Visiting again using your Annual Pass
If you already have a valid complimentary Annual Pass, select the number of people who will be attending your visit via our book tickets webpage. Please make sure to include any eligible free carers or under 3s in your party.
Once you have done this, the next screen will take you through to available dates and timed sessions.
You can arrive at any time during your booked session, but you will be required to leave at the end of your session.

Why not gift your friends and family an amazing experience they’ll cherish forever? And better yet, they can re-visit again anytime all year round!
These experiences are the perfect gift for Ocean animal lovers. When you buy a National Marine Aquarium gift, you will be helping to support our charity the Ocean Conservation Trust which supports the conservation of Ocean habitats and species.

How does the Complimentary Pass work?
You will be offered a free return Annual Pass when you arrive, if you say yes our Ticketing Team will take some details from you to store on our secure system. A photo of you and the other people on your pass will be taken and used for when you’d like to return.
You will be given a card pass to keep and use when you would like to return.
What happens if I lose my pass?
If you or your family member loses your cardboard pass, let our Ticketing Team know when you next arrive. We’ll have your details saved and for an admin fee of £1 will be able to replace your pass for you.
