Fantastic it's that simple so much better than the one in Manchester at the Trafford centre....The kids loved seen all the sharks and lots more marine life here at this centres.... We loved it , definitely be back again next year ....The staff were so friendly and helpful with questions the kids were asking about the creatures and the lifespan of some of the electric eals......the areas are all well maintained and very clean compared to some other SeaWorlds we have gone & visited over thr years ......its.easy to get round and we did love the talks that were on at different times and feeding of the creatures...... stunning place and plenty of items on sale at the retail shop ...

Well where to start it's not well kept like the others sea life center's and we been to lots. You can walk around in 10-15 mins, staff very friendly and helpful, it's a bit hard to take photos (obviously can't use your flash) just with how fast ppl look around the tanks.

Came down yesterday as the new refurbished tunnel was finally open. Sadly, there was barely any sea life in the tunnel so we were just looking at water! Really disappointed as we waited months for the refurbishment to finish so we could bring our baby!! Staff are lovely here. Parking should be better. Easy to get about with pram. Price however is super high in comparison to how much there is to see or do. Had vouchers yet the website had nowhere to apply the vouchers for tickets so that was also really annoying.

The aquarium is not that big. The ticket price is kinda high compared to the size of aquarium. Luckily, when I went there, I can see the sharks that I planned to see. The whole aquarium is well organized and clean with variety of animals shown (turtles, lobster, octopus and even cockroach etc).

Fantastic, the kids absolutely loved it just as much as we did. The only downfall was that the shark tunnel was closed. Lots of native species on display as well as some of their tropical relatives ☺️ We will be visiting again in the future.
