Our Largest Native Species Aquarium: We're creating a bit of a splash next week with one of the West’s most treasured attractions and Ireland's Largest Native Species.
This week Ronan Lardner on The Live Wire has an exciting opportunity to experience Galway Atlantaquaria — Ireland’s largest native-species aquarium. We have some fantastic prize giveaways. Listeners we'll be giving away family passes and an Annual Membership to this unique attraction — the perfect family day out and an educational adventure along the coast and through our rivers and lakes.
Located in Salthill overlooking Galway Bay on the Wild Atlantic Way, Galway Atlantaquaria has been a cornerstone of education, conservation, and community engagement for over 25 years. The aquarium is home to an incredible variety of Ireland’s native marine and freshwater life, offering visitors a rare chance to connect with species found in the country’s rivers, lakes, canals, and surrounding ocean.
The aquarium blends science, culture, and history, creating an immersive experience that appeals to visitors of all ages. From interactive exhibits and engaging live talks to hands-on learning guided by expert staff, Galway Atlantaquaria continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for Ireland’s rich aquatic ecosystems.
