\nBlue Planet Aquarium is going shark crazy over the May Half Term Holidays (May 28th<\/sup> \u2013 June 5th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n

\u2018Supersized Shark Week\u2019<\/strong> aims to be Cheshire Oaks\u2019 aquarium\u2019s biggest ever celebration of all things shark-related.<\/p>\n

There will be an all-new Shark Science Lab with daily live demonstrations and interactive shows<\/a>, special shark events and activities in the Aquatheatre, and regular dive shows and feeds in the giant 3.8-million-litre Caribbean Reef display.<\/p>\n

With its 70-metre-long underwater moving walkway, the spectacular display is home to one of the largest shark collections in Europe; including three-metre-long sand tiger<\/a> and nurse sharks, lemon sharks, black and white tip reef sharks, zebra sharks and guitar sharks.<\/p>\n

Blue Planet Aquarium\u2019s Phil Jones said: \u201cThe world of sharks has fascinated people for centuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event gives us the opportunity to explore lots of the most intriguing and exciting aspects of the oceans\u2019 ultimate predators; from newborn baby sharks to some true giants of the deep.<\/p>\n

\u201cVisitors will be able to really get to know these often misunderstood creatures with an action-packed programme of shark-related activities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

To mark the event, the aquarium is also unveiling its brand new Shark Nursery. Made from a combination of recycled wood with a semi-circular viewing window, the nursery is home to more than 50 newborn catsharks, along with dozens of egg-cases with tiny, unborn sharks wriggling inside.<\/p>\n

As part of the fun visitors will be able to take their own selfies inside the gigantic jaws of a prehistoric megalodon shark, with a family pass on offer for the best pic and there will also be the chance to dig for shark teeth and fossils.<\/p>\n

\u2018Supersized Shark Week\u2019 (May 28th <\/sup>\u2013 June 5th<\/sup>), Blue Planet Aquarium, Longlooms Road, Cheshire Oaks CH65 9LF. Open daily from 10am.
