I was sceptical about going as I'm not super interested in fish but it's actually well worth a visit. The viewing tunnel near the end is amazing.

Recommended. The only problem is the car park , it can be full sometimes, but staff is very helpfull arranging next door car park . Great place to go indoors, specially in winter.

Jane Bell

Great afternoon but Saturday during school holidays was a mistake, glad I booked online, saved a fiver and skipped the long queue. Will go back in school term time. Brilliant!

Leigh

Great day out, but avoid going around midday-2pm on weekends. Very busy to say the least. Open till 6 everyday so can afford to go a bit later. Book tickets on the website and save yourself £1.

Sheldon Thomasson

Great place. Take your time as there's lots to see and interact with. Glass elevator is good but too short . Cafe good but can be very busy.

Chris Phillips

Superb aquarium . Much better than the Sea Life Centres, far more educational . A good place for families. Queues are very long at holiday times.

Fernando Cordeiro

Good family fun time. Kids loved the touch and learn session with marine biologist.

Curt Sallinger

We had a great time with our little ones, and I'd never seen Sea Turtles in a captive setting. Fun times!

Louise

The exhibits are great but the cafe service is dreadful. One person serving and three in the kitchen. One of which was counting baguettes ! Take your own food and drink!

Arnold John

Even though you can book in advance you will still have to queue so they can take your picture for your 12 month pass

If you buy tickets once you can sign up to use those tickets for free admission for a year.

Joanne Brady

If there's a queue for the lift, take the stairs. Just as fantastic views , but you can go whatever speed you want.

Ailsa Staff

The cheesy pasta with chips and salad went down a treat, then a nice slow walk round the tanks and displays. Great place to bring the kids

Lee Walker

Great for really young ones (upto 3?), but think it doesn't have enough for older children

David Firth

We had a good day there with DAB from Bradford ,well , equipped for wheel chairs ,a good day out ,we loved the day .

Michelle Mortimer

Not very geared up for pushchair or wheelchair users unless you want to queue for at least 30 mins at the main tourist attraction - the glass elevator - to get out! Views just as nice from the stairs!

Paul Sherratt

Bank holiday Monday. Massive queue and no fast track for online booking . Looking forward to finally getting in though.

Toni-louise Watts

Go during week days. Weekends are a nightmare! Can hardly see/do activities

Megan Mennell

Get the table closest to the window for views over the estuary x

Laurren Carling

Abdulkareem Aouir

Amazing place to be ????

Meric Pekcan-Butcher

A lot better ( and cheaper than the London Aquarium ).Recommended!

Welcome to Yorkshire

There's over 40 sharks and 3,500 fish here and you can see them whilst inside Europe's deepest viewing tunnel ...

Don't forget to use your "two squid " voucher in the cafe if you park here.

Second time here, great visit and the kids love it

Jem Stone

Rubbish food and too many school children misbehaving

Andris Lagzdins

It was not bad, but not what really expected;)

Shaun Baines

The place is rubbish . Very expensive and not a lot going on other than walkways with interactive kit that doesn't work.

Mason Cook

Lovely shop staff !

James Ingham

Download the iPhone / Android app!

Deborah Stevenson

Quite expensive for what it is. :-\

Ellie Thear

Don't take a pushchair - lots of people about with them blocking attractions for children. Can be very cramped when busy.

Jessica Walkin

Go during term time! So quiet!
