EYFS EXPLORER TRAIL
Welcome
Use this spotter sheet as you explore the aquarium today and meet our wonderful animal friends! The pack is split into the four zones of the aquarium: Plymouth Sound, British Coasts, Atlantic Ocean and Blue Planet
If you need any help around the aquarium today, please ask one of our lovely Rangers. They are very happy to talk to you about any of the animals and answer any questions! The Rangers are wearing navy blue t-shirts or fleeces.
