Aquarium sleepover experience

Are you looking for an adventure after dark? If you’re brave enough to have a sleepover with the sharks, this immersive experience is for you! Spend the night tucked up in your sleeping bag, while our rays, sharks and clown fish give you a magical display in the Aqua Theatre.

A sleepover with a difference!

Our sleepover experience starts with a private guided tour of the Aquarium by our expert team. Then head upstairs to the Bistro for dinner overlooking the sea. Go head to head with your friends in our quiz challenges, then get cosy with a hot chocolate before heading to the Aqua Theatre to bed down in front of the incredible marine display.

Waking up in this room with a view is surely the best way to start the day. And, if that wasn’t enough, a tasty breakfast is served in the Bistro.

Perfect for birthday parties & group sleepovers

Make unforgettable memories for your child by booking a sleepover experience for their Birthday. Let our enthusiastic hosts plan the whole event and keep the kids entertained, whilst you relax and enjoy the experience. This once in a lifetime adventure will give their friends plenty to talk about.

Community groups and schools

If you are looking for an incredible, yet educational visit for a group, the Skegness Aquarium sleepover experience is ideal whatever the weather. We challenge scouts, guides, community groups and clubs, as well as school classes to come and join us after closing time for a private event.

5 out of 5 stars

“This was a great adventure for 24 young people aged 8-13 years old. We were greeted by our friendly, energetic hosts who gave us a private tour of the aquarium. Their knowledge and enthusiasm was incredible as was their patience at answering hundreds of questions. We then had our food upstairs in the cafe overlooking the sea. Our hosts entertained us with a series of quizzes. They then made us all hot chocolate for our bedtime drink . We had already set up our roll mats and sleeping bags in front of the huge tank where we watched sharks, sting rays, clown fish, and a variety of other beautiful fish all night”
