School Tours and Workshops, “Dive in and Explore at Galway Atlantaquaria”

Located on the Galway Promenade, the Aquarium in Galway has been delivering Educational Tours and Workshops for over 20 years and is an accredited member of BIAZA (British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums) and EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquariums).

An important part of our mission, the aquarium staff is passionate about Ireland’s native species and their habitats. With a focus on Marine and Freshwater, we cover a range of topics from sustainability, litter, and materials, adaptations to life, coastal management and protection, engineering and flood defenses and clean water, and biodiversity and food production.

Experiences can range from one to four hours in length and can be carried out in the aquarium, in our classroom or audiovisual room, or on our local rocky shore.

Part of the SFI Curious Minds Programme Network, we offer workshops that can assist schools in achieving their Curious Minds Award. We also deliver a range of Marine Institute, Explorers Education Programme Modules for primary classes in Co. Galway and Clare. Workshops on marine litter and oceans which have been developed with the JCT are available to secondary school students, plus we deliver seashore and grassland ecology studies, and workshops on Animal Care and Marine Spatial Planning.

With all our education programs, we strive to inspire, engage and provide content that is accessible to all. We look forward to working with you and your students during 2023.
