Tips

It's not great value for money at all. Even if you can return again once you've left. Once the kids have seen the fish they aren't that bothered about going back. The staff are knowledgable and the talks and feeding of fish were interesting.

I have always enjoyed the aquarium growing up and I recently took my 3 year old son there. He loved it just as much as I used to! It is a rather small aquarium but high quality and a lovely experience for little ones.

Very small my 1 year old did enjoy it but took us an hour to go round the whole thing twice with my little one walking.

Very small, children got bored quickly entrance price so expensive for what is on offer. Very disappointed.
