Dive into a world of wonder at Hastings Aquarium!
Bring your little ones for a sensory journey where children’s stories come to life. In partnership with Glow Storytime, winner of Best Baby Class at the Essential Baby Awards 2025, each session is designed to captivate your baby’s senses and nurture key developmental skills.
Every session, we explore a new children’s book through:
– Immersive sensory activities
– Theatrical performances
– Enchanting light-up props
… all designed to stimulate eye-tracking, early vocabulary, tactile exploration, and so much more!

📅 Session Info:
First Tuesday of the month (9:00am): Newborns to sitting babies
Last Tuesday of the month (9:00am): Crawlers and Walkers up to 2 years old
Not only do you get to bond with your little one, but you also get full-day access to explore the friendly creatures at the Aquarium!
Join us in our serene, illuminated sensory space, where relaxation and curiosity meet.
