Ocean Extravaganza

With over 70% of our planet’s surface covered by a ginormous global ocean, it’s an incredibly important part of the earth’s ecosystem and is absolutely teeming with life.

Join us on a journey that takes us from the most vibrant coral reefs to the darkest depths below, where we’ll find fish that glow in the dark and a whole host of curious creatures along the way. We’ll find out more about the way our seas are changing and what we can all do to help protect the underwater environment for future generations.

You’ll have the chance to test your own knowledge of the ocean with our fishy facts quiz, and see whether you might be destined to become an oceanographer yourself — and we’ll even discover an explosive way that water can be made!

• Age guidance: 5+

  Our live science show presenters adapt to the audience in front of them, so anyone from 5 to 95 should find plenty to engage with!
