Green turtles being fed

I went to the aquarium the first time I came to Bermuda, and we went back in 1995 and again in 2004. This is one good way to see native animals and sea life. The aquarium is right on multiple bus routes (either the 10 or 11 from Hamilton) and after you visit, you can continue on to St. George.

Open daily, except Christmas Day, 9 am to 5 pm. Last admission is 4 pm . Admission includes BAMZ Tours at 1:10 pm daily, April to September (Saturdays and Sundays only from October to March).

On the tour, you’ll interact with a diver in the North Rock Tank and learn about many of BAMZ’s Zoo animals.

Admission is:

$10 for adults
$5 for seniors (age 65+)
$5 for children 5-12. Children under 5 admitted free.

More than 8,000 species of flora and fauna have been recorded in Bermuda. The Aquarium is home to more than 200 species of local fish, marine turtles and harbour seals and has a 145,000-gallon North Rock Exhibit, which shows Bermuda’s coral reef. The Zoo has ringtailed lemurs from Madagascar and Galapagos tortoises. Some of the animals are part of the Species Survival Program (SSP), including golden lion tamarins, tree kangaroos, Asian small-clawed otters, and parma wallaby. The Museum section focuses on the origin of Bermuda and on conservation issues.

The first picture is of the green turtles being fed that was taken in 2004. The tank is out in the front of the aquarium. There are also pictures of one of the fish tanks in the aquarium proper, one of the scarlet macaws in the zoo, and one of a display of invasive species in the museum.

Display in the Museum on island living

The Museum of the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo was just added recently. I hadn't seen it before. It was very interesting and had displays on how the coral rock was quarried and how roof tiles are made from it, the blight that killed the Bermuda cedar and the introduction of invasive species are crowding out the native and endemic plants and animals.

Open daily, except Christmas Day, 9 am to 5 pm. Last admission is 4 pm.

Admission is:

$10 for adults
$5 for seniors (age 65+)
$5 for children 5-12. Children under 5 admitted free.
