Really enjoyed the dive experience with my nephew. I have several muscular skeletal conditions, which I discussed with the team before my visit, on the day Jamie and the rest of the team adapted to my conditions and made me feel like I was able to take part and fully enjoy the experience. I felt like I could take part like the rest of the divers but had Jamie close by if I needed additional support. Thanks all of you for making the experience enjoyable and accessible to me.

The lady here was absolutely lovely. First time visiting the Aquarium although been to Skegness many, many times. My 3 year old twin girls' loved it, and the Jurassic part with all the dinosaurs, included in the price, alongside my 15 year old daughter enjoying it all just as much so win win. Lots of interactive bits to do as well as look at the fish, sharks, jellyfish, rays! Stunning. They do a 'swim experience' in the shark and ray tank if you pre-book. Overall such lovely staff and really enjoyable experience.

A brilliant shark dive experience. Great staff, and the dive lasted at least 40min well worth it. Either watching smiling rays tickled by bubbles or getting bumped by huge silver fish wanting a gravel shower. Loved it and would recommend it to anyone.

We visited the Skegness Aquarium yesterday as a family, and it was a lovely experience. The place is clean, well-maintained, and very family-friendly. The variety of sea creatures was interesting, especially for the children—they really enjoyed seeing the different fish and learning about marine life. The displays are engaging, and the walk-through is easy and enjoyable without feeling rushed. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. It’s a great place for a relaxed day out, especially with kids. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it to families visiting Skegness.
