Join us for a day of family fun celebrating World Oceans Day. Come and learn about the oceans and what you can do to help conserve ocean habitats.
Take part in interactive activities, go on an underwater storytelling journey and have a go at our ocean-themed poetry competition.
You can explore ocean objects with our curators and see a new giant turtle taxidermy specimen on display in our Natural History Gallery.
Plus the Horniman Aquarium will be free to enter all day on Saturday 8 June. See what else we have in store:
