Visit websiteWhen i tell you, that aquariums never bore, i mean it. I went to bristol aquarium, last monday (bank holiday) to take little one out. It was fantastic. Ravioli the stingray loves hugging glass to get fed haha. The sharks are cool, the sassy turtle who loves to sunbathe. We were given amazing service as and when needed. The tropical side during the heatwave was incredibly horrific, but to see marine life during the part makes you forget it's 30°+ and how awesome nature actually is. In the words of the man from Austria in many action films says "I'll be back"
I had a really good time! Went with my mate on a Friday in term time. Super quiet. I think ticket price is perfectly reasonable when you think about how much the cost of upkeep must be. I loved the different displays and I really could spend hours in that underwater tunnel. Just magic!!
Lovely day out for the family Enjoyed the feeding couldn't really hear what the speaker was saying about the fish sadly. Gift shop has been moved and a bit bigger. We enjoyed it and then went and got an ice cream 😊
Bristol Aquarium it’s honestly the best aquarium we’ve been to in the UK so far. The first thing we noticed was how clean all the glass tanks were — it really makes such a difference. The visibility was excellent and it helped us take some beautiful photos without glare or marks spoiling the view. You can tell the exhibits are very well maintained. We also really appreciated the seating areas throughout the aquarium. There are several benches placed near the tanks, which makes it easy to sit down, relax, and properly enjoy watching the fish. It creates a calm atmosphere and allows you to take your time rather than feeling rushed. The only downside for us was the ticket price, which we found a bit expensive. However, overall the experience was excellent and we had a wonderful visit. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bristol!
We went on a quiet weekday with our baby he loved looking at the fishes. Good variety to look at including turtles. They do daily talks and feeding sessions. It isn't the biggest and it only took us just over an hour to go round ( would be slower if busier) but probably not value for money at £22.50 each. Can't comment on the cafe as ate elsewhere.
