WORLD OCEANS' DAY - SUNDAY 8TH JUNE 2008

This year on World Oceans' Day Vikings were roaming the aquarium plundering locals and visitors alike!

In addition to the usual exhibits, talks and feed shows, we had viking-themed activities inside and outside the aquarium throughout the day. Younger visitors were making their own Viking shields and longboats which they were able to race for prizes! Inside a Viking rune stone trail and quiz kept the older children busy. The dance troup Phoenix and the Shimmies also provided some great Viking themed displays using swords and flaming torches!

As usual, though, World Oceans' Day had a serious message about our seas and we had guests from the RSPB, SCARF and the Aberdeenshire Council Waste Aware Bus along on the day too. Our friends at Deveron FM provided entertainment and there was face painting, a bouncy slide, refreshments provided by Downies of Whitehills and all the usual fun, games and prizes.

What's more, each visitor on the day had the chance to win an adventure on the high seas with North 58 Sea Adventures.

The day was enjoyed by all who came - and we're looking forward to doing it all over again next year!
