|---|---|
| Opening times | 10am-5pm. |
| Best time to go | Weekdays in spring and early summer. |
| School holiday tip | Late August is the sweet spot for English/Welsh visitors: Scottish schools are back by mid-August while England/Wales are still on holiday. Early July is the Scottish local peak, so go midweek. Indoor venue: wet half-term days cause surges; check the forecast. |
| Best ages | All ages; under-8s often get the most from it |
| If it rains | Indoors: a good rainy-day option, but it can get crowded in wet weather |
| Food | Shoreline Café and a coffee shop (some renovation ongoing). |
| Money saver | Online advance tickets cost far less than walk-up; check combined tickets. |
| Top tips | See the seal pups and otters first. Combine with Oban harbour. |
| What to pack | Light layers, change for lockers, snacks for outside |
