It\u2019s almost the holidays once again, and with the kids at home for a week, it can be tricky finding ways to keep them entertained. October half-term can also be one of the wettest holidays of the year, meaning sending them off to the local park with a football in hand isn\u2019t always an option.\u00a0<\/span>
\nLuckily for you, here at Deep Sea World, we have a wet-weather alternative where you can still cause a splash and have fun with the whole family. Here\u2019s everything going on beneath the waves this half term\u2026 we can\u2019t wait for you to come and join us!<\/span>

Explore Aquasketch, Our Giant Virtual Aquarium<\/b><\/h2>\n

Deep Sea World is home to the UK\u2019s first giant virtual aquarium. Sounds pretty cool right? So, what is a virtual aquarium? Well, we\u2019re glad you asked.\u00a0<\/span>
\nDeep Sea World\u2019s virtual aquarium is like being transported underwater into the depths of the ocean in a matter of seconds. You can chase schools of tropical fish through the waves and across the 7-metre virtual tank, or poke your nose into the coral reefs and discover what sea creatures are hiding right in front of you.\u00a0<\/span>
\nBut do you want to know the best part? Oh yes, it gets even better. On your visit to the virtual tank, you can draw and create your own fish, whether it\u2019s hot pink with super shiny scales or bright blue and very very small. And just like that, your very own fin-tastic friend will magically come to life in the virtual tank. Watch it swim amongst the sea life and explore the underwater world.\u00a0<\/span>
\nCan\u2019t wait for some Aquasketch fun? We\u2019d love to see your fishy creations. Make sure you follow us on <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a> and get tagging us in your drawings!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With daily dive talks throughout the October break, you\u2019ll be able to catch one of these fascinating talks whatever day you choose to visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWhat\u2019s sweeter than a happy seal munching on some delicious lunch, or a ray filling up on a good old snack? Not much, we\u2019d say! Luckily for you, you can see all of this up close when you join us for feeding time at the aquarium.<\/span>
\nWith lots of feeds to choose from you\u2019re spoilt for choice. <\/span>Watch our aquarists exercise the seals<\/span><\/a> and give them some tasty treats as they roll, swim and jump around the pool, or stroll by the <\/span>shark tank <\/span><\/a>to see our vast array of sharks fill their bellies.
