Families visiting Hull’s award-winning aquarium over the October half-term can get up close to the world of animal teeth with a brand-new interactive event, Tooth be Told.
Running throughout the school holidays, the event challenges young visitors to use their detective skills to solve Chew Dunnit – a crime-scene-style mystery activity set up in a pop-up tent near The Deep’s famous underwater tunnel. Guided by the aquarium’s team of “detectives,” families can use clues to unravel the full story.
Visitors will also be able to examine 3D-printed jaw and teeth models to create their own sketches, which can be submitted into a competition to win a themed prize bundle. Dedicated artefact handling sessions will also take place throughout the event, featuring real specimens and massive prehistoric Megalodon jaws.
Designed to showcase both native and international marine life, the event offers a hands-on experience for young shark enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike.
“Tooth be Told has been a fantastic event to work on with the Guides and we’re excited to be welcoming visitors to enjoy all we have on offer this October half-term,” said John Andrews, Head of Operations & Guides at The Deep.
“With mysteries to solve and plenty of hands-on activities to enjoy, there’s something for all ages to get involved in and learn more about these amazing animals.”
All Tooth be Told activities are included within standard admission ticket prices, with no extra booking required. Every standard ticket purchased automatically doubles as an Annual Pass, granting unlimited free return visits for 12 months, with ticket proceeds supporting The Deep’s ongoing ocean conservation work.
