Visited with a 7 & 8 year olds who love fish etc. This was great for them. Went round a couple of times to see everything. Went to story time to hear mystical tales (on over Easter hols) not cheap but we'll worth the pennies cause they loved it. Saw seals doing tricks at feeding time. Cafe was very busy but food was fine enough. Will be back.

Decent place for one time visit, although not worth the ticket cost. The main attraction is underwater tunnel. Seahorses and seals were fun too! We were able to see the whole aquarium in justcabout 40minutes with our 3 year old.

The experience was great overall. We went with 2 under 3s and a 10 year old. The sea lion show was great, didn't last too long as it was just them getting fed but was still good to watch. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The star of the show was the huge tunnel where you sea the sharks , stingrays ect. Its was amazing to walk through and lasted a good 10 minutes if you take your time. The gift shop was great too, i wouldnt say it was too overprices. The overall experience wasn't very long, we went round a couple times just to make up the time so it would last longer. The 2 younger kids had a ball and the older kid wished that there was more to see. 4 out of 5 stars we would definitely go back 🦈🥰

Pretty good for kids. Small but has a decent selection of tanks. The swamp tanks get a lot of condensation and the seal pen is green. Has a souvenir shop and a cafe. Outside area is pleasant with rail bridge above.

Not as big as I'd expected and the building etc could do with a bit of TLC. However, with the drop in income resulting from Covid-19 it's not really surprising that it could do with some investment. The kids still had a fantastic time. They went through the underwater tunnel 4 or 5 times. The food in the cafe was good and not too expensive.
