Carer’s admission

Disabled visitors pay our usual rate of admission, which can be found on our Admission Prices page.

A 1:1 registered carer accompanying a paying disabled visitor, with proof of carer status, is admitted free of charge. If any additional carers are required please purchase a Concession ticket.

Proof of carer status: Access card displaying a +1, Carer’s Allowance Letter, a letter from GP or Consultant (dated within the last 12 months) confirming the need for a full time carer.

Customers with an access card without a +1 are not entitled to a free carer.

Visitors using a wheelchair are entitled to a free carer ticket to support their visit around the aquarium.

Bristol Aquarium – Even Calmer Days

Our dedicated Even Calmer days create a more relaxing sensory experience for any customers who may need it. We will be turning off our music, and children’s rides to reduce any unexpected noises. We also increase our lighting in some of our darker areas throughout the day to create a more consistent sensory experience throughout the aquarium.
