BLUE Planet Aquarium at Cheshire Oaks is launching a week-long celebration of some of the aquatic world’s most amazing creatures.

Superhero Week, from Saturday until Sunday, June 6, will feature a host of incredible animals with fantastic super powers.

From sharp-shooting archer fish and sharks’ super senses, to marine masters of disguise, electric eels and some real monsters of the deep, there are oceans of extraordinary underwater superheroes on show.

The aquarium is also home to a variety of creatures with terrifying super powers including the world’s deadliest spider, most poisonous frog and most venomous fish.

As part of the fun, staff will be donning their own superhero costumes and there will be special activities as well as daily ‘superhero- themed shows’ in the aquatheatre.

Paul Renolds of Blue Planet said: “The aquatic world is home to some truly incredible creatures, many of which could hold their own against any comic book superhero.

“This event allows us to showcase some of their special skills in a fun and entertaining way that will appeal to visitors of all ages.

“We thought it was about time that they got some recognition and Superhero Week is our way of paying tribute to them.”
