Welcome to
Matlock Bath Aquarium & Exhibitions
Matlock Bath is the gateway to the Peak District and blessed with breath-taking scenery, once described by Byron as 'a romantic fragment of Switzerland set in the heart of England'.
The Aquarium and Exhibitions are located in a wonderful Victorian building in the centre of Matlock Bath, this is a popular collection of unique attractions for all the family to visit and enjoy.

During lockdown we have given the Aquarium a makeover with more than half the displays having a complete refit and new stock added.
THIS INCLUDES
A display of our young Axolotyl's that we have successfully managed to breed, not once, but four times. They are listed as critically endangered in the wild, so we are very proud of this achievement and look forward to continuing with this breeding programme to help conserve them.
We hope to dedicate a page on this website to them in the near future.
Please visit our REFURBISHMENTS page which outlines our annual and ongoing refurbishments and inprovements.
