Your underwater adventure starts the moment you set off! Blue Planet Aquarium is easy to find – just off Junction 10 of the M53 at Cheshire Oaks, right next to the Designer Outlet. Hop on a Stagecoach X1 from Chester or Service 1 from Liverpool and let the journey begin! Buses run regularly, and the nearest train station is Ellesmere Port, just two miles away, with easy bus links to get you even closer to the action.
