About Water World

We are a family-owned pet and aquatic centre that has been providing the best of both worlds since 1965. We provide people with advice to make their outdoor or indoor living more beautiful while also helping animals live happier lives!

It all began in 1965

Initially starting in Liverpool as family business, Water World was derived from the love of the hobby and opened the first store on Smithdown Road.

during the 1970's

Over the coming year, Water World excelled and opened more stores in Liverpool & Chester. When our current store on the Wirral become available, these stores are closed and moved to the Wirral site. to be come one of the largest aquatic stores of its type.

in the 1980's

The Wirral store grew from strength to strength, with the fish keeping hobby becoming evermore popular and more accessible. More veriaties of fish and array of colours.

1990 till 2000's

With the help of TV shows like 'Ground Force' water gardening was at its peak, with everyone wanting a pond or water feature in the garden. Water World is now one of the largest Pet & Aquatic Centres in the UK importing beautiful fish from all around the globe.

Launching our first online store in the early 2000, Water World was now being seen by people all over the country.

2020's and onwards

Water World is still today a family run business and still on the up with more people visiting us in store and online.

In 2021, we welcomed another family business to run our busy coffee shop. Lilypad Café was opened.

We are still sourcing from all over the world to enable to give the best quality products.

My package arrived on time, well packed and easy to access. The water feature was undamaged and so easy to install in my garden. Wonderful to look at and delightful sound of waterfall. Highly recommend for even a small garden.

Really lovely place. Had loads of products and even pets (guinea pigs, birds and fish). There are separate buildings for indoor and outdoor equipment to make shopping easier, and they also have a really lovely cafe there to break up the day.
