Macduff Marine Aquarium — Aquarium in Aberdeenshire
Macduff Marine Aquarium and its collection
Macduff Marine Aquarium is an aquarium in MacDuff, United Kingdom.
The aquarium opened on 18 April 1997. It closed in 2017 so that the main tank could be drained and repaired, and Aberdeenshire Council announced a successful bid to the Levelling Up Fund in 2023. An expansion was planned that would add a second storey with a cafe.
