Thanks for the day, Best Fishes...

I've been before a few years ago so thought I'd treat myself and a friend to another visit. To summarise it was really good, it's well laid out and spacious for the amount of people that visit so it doesn't feel too cramped etc. Big...More

Okay for couple of hours

The aquarium was okay, found it a bit expensive. Thought it would be a day out but we spent a maximum of 2.5 hours there and children got a little bored (age 7 and 8).

Disappointing

Very disappointed at how expensive the aquarium is and how little there is there, nearly £30 for me and my boyfriend and we were in and out in half an hour. Not worth the money at all.More

Overpriced!!

For the limited size of the aquarium charging over £40 entry for a family consisting of two adults a 10 month old and a just turned 4 year old is excessive. There were no feeding sessions or staff at hand to answer questions with the...More

Not amazing, but decent!

Went here with a group of friends for my birthday since I absolutely love aquariums, it was a pretty decent sized aquarium but not the greatest I've been to. The shark section is really good if you like sharks, but the frogs were the best...More
