An interactive aquarium could be coming to Swansea, the leader of the council has said. Rob Stewart said the proposal was to build it between the Civic Centre and Swansea Arena coastal park, potentially at a compound area beside the Civic Centre.
The aquarium would offer an immersive experience for visitors and be a wider educational resource. The concept is based on The Cube, Brisbane - a two-storey interactive attraction featuring nearly 50 touch screen displays. You can read more stories about Swansea here.
Cllr Stewart, who is standing for re-election at next month’s council elections, said the aim was to include some live exhibits as well. He has mentioned the aquarium proposal at a conference, and it features in Swansea Labour’s manifesto ahead of the election on May 5.
