Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium

Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium is a compact visitor attraction on the harbourside in Lyme Regis, offering marine displays, hands-on exhibits and close encounters with local sea life. Dogs are welcome inside on a lead throughout the visitor areas, making it a rare opportunity to bring them along on a proper aquarium visit rather than leaving them tied outside.

It's a paid attraction with tickets available online or on the day and works well as part of a wider town day out. The aquarium showcases the marine life of Lyme Bay and the Jurassic Coast, with touch pools and interactive elements that keep visits engaging without demanding hours of your time.

Bringing your dog inside means they stay close while you explore, though be prepared for wet floors near the tanks and the possibility of narrow sections during busy periods. There's no on-site parking, so check Lyme Regis town car parks before you visit.
