Land Animals

Paws, Claws, and Coastal Surprises!

Who says an aquarium is only about fish? Step out of the water and meet the cheeky land-dwellers that make our St Andrews home truly unique. Grab your magnifying glass to investigate our mischievous meerkat mob, or head out to the rocky enclosures to watch our famous Humboldt penguins waddle and play. It’s a dry-land adventure with a wildly unexpected twist!

Red-Footed Tortoise

The Colourful Cruisers

Spot the bright red and orange scales of these South American reptiles! With their beautifully patterned shells, these tortoises can move surprisingly fast across the forest floor.

Meerkat

The Desert Detectives

Step into the sand and meet the most curious family in Fife. Our mischievous meerkats are always on lookout duty and love seeing who has come to visit!
