Achill Experience, Aquarium & Visitor Centre

Achill’s first all-weather visitor centre and Mayo’s only Aquarium. The Achill Experience encapsulates many aspects of Island life both present and past. Achill Experience lets us help you to explore and learn about many the different species of sea creatures from around the waters of Achill Island and from the World beyond. We display many fascinating stories of Achill’s rich and sometimes tragic history. We also house the first edition prints of the famous American artist Robert Henri, who lived in Achill during the 1920’s and painted local Children from Pollagh & Dooagh. They are amazing prints and the colours really bring the children to life. Fun for everyone, the Achill Experience is an aquarium visit like no other. Discover our local and tropical fishy friends (including Nemo and Dory!) in our 16-tank aquarium. Through our knowledgeable and passionate aquarium guides, you will meet all our exciting sea creatures including Smurfette, Sapphire, Rusty and Charlie the rare lobsters, Buddy the very friendly baby shark. Discover Achill’s rich and fascinating history in our Visitor Centre through our 18 history boards, replica Boley House (modelled after the Deserted Village houses), the recycled Basking Shark and our audiovisual room. Learn about the Kirkintilloch Tragedy, the history of the Greenway, the special relationship between Achill and American artist Robert Henri and lots more as you explore the stories of Achill’s past.
