Visit websiteView menuWe visited this place on a Wednesday which was not very busy but also not too quiet. The place is very beautiful and we could see number of different varieties of fish and also penguins. There are also some small games and puzzles for kids as well. It was amazing to watch the beautiful world of this fish. Also there are some different species of frogs which are really poisonous. Also you can see wide variety of jellyfish. The scenery through the lift is amazing. As the pass provides number of visits a year we would surely visit again. Great place to take your kids and they will surely enjoy.
Our first visit to The Deep, we were lucky and visited about 12.30 on a Monday it wasn't too busy at all, it was not a school holiday. Entry price was £24 per adult, for a yearly pass. Parking was easy £4.50 for 5 hours. The exhibits were wonderful there's lots of places you can sit and watch the fish. We spent 2.5hrs there. We enjoyed one of the talks about the fish the staff are very approachable and willing to answer your questions. The only thing I didnt like was the penguin enclosure. I think this could be improved. We definitely cant wait to visit again.
What a fantastic aquarium! It’s very rare you see such a well themed aquarium especially one that boasts penguins!! Could sit and watch them all day. Big open spaces and easy for wheelchairs. It even has a scenic lift inside of one of the tanks! Unique, educational and well thought out.
The aquarium is visually stunning with plenty of information and informative games for child and adult alike. The food was good and plenty to offer with a very clean and well looked after cafe, the staff were friendly. We had lost a ted on the way round from one of the kids and the staff were nice enough to let us back in to look for it.
We had a really nice visit to the Deep. We attended on a Monday morning first thing so it was nice and quiet and we could take our time and enjoy the exhibits. Everything was well laid out, the fish and animals where well cared for. Staff were brilliant throughout, friendly and helpful and we will be going back to take advantage of the annual pass!
