Can you find the real life 'Nemo' and his fishy friends? All the animated characters from the blockbuster movie were based on living creatures. Visit Blue Reef and follow the 'Nemo' trail to see which familiar faces you meet on your journey.

Blue Reef is a great place for visitors of all ages to find out about the wonders of the deep. Whatever the weather, Blue Reef's innovative displays, informative talks and feeding demonstrations keep the family fully entertained. Tickets are valid all day so you could join the Dawn Patrols, enjoy a Rockpool Encounter or discover more about the ultimate predator during Shark Hour!
Become an artist for the day as part of The Big Draw event. Sketch a seahorse, paint a puffer fish or create your own fishy work of art inspired by the amazing variety, patterns, colours, shapes and sizes of marine creatures. Create your own Seamonster and add it to our underwater collage!

Blue Reef will be taken over by Sea Monsters for the October half-term holidays. As well as revealing the truth behind some of the world's most famous sea monster stories there's even a chance to come face to face with some real monsters of the deep!
Swashbuckling fun for younger visitors - discover all about pirates, privateers and buccaneers. There's storytelling sessions, workshops, flag designing classes and even special talks about some real life Cornish Pirates!
