Me and my sister went here today (9/07/24) and like it very much. Learn a fair quality of information that I didn't know (and I'm an animal nerd, and proud of it) and the talks were very clear and have friendly staff. However, I still miss the large shark tank that Moray eels, Black-tip Sharks, Horn Shark, Thresher Sharks; as well as the Octopus and otters. But I do recommend you do take the kids, as children are curious about things around them

I thought the entrance was expensive for the time we actively spent walking around the aquarium. The Stingrays were particularly beautiful, and lovely to see. We were in and out in 30 minutes which was slightly underwhelming. Not sure how much justification there is in a return visit.

I enjoyed attending this place. Although the admission fee was slightly pricey, for the most part, I had a good experience. In relation to some of the exhibits, such as the Bumblebee Frogs and The Reeves Turtle, the windows showcasing the exhibits could have been bigger, allowing more people to see them at the same time. If the Aquarium is crowded, it is frustrating to wait to see something and when you finally do, one feels rushed because of the amount of people who also want to see animals such as the frogs. The Snapping Turtle was amazing to see, as were The Monsoon Falls. I spent ages looking at The Longhorn Cowfish, which was one of the better aspects of the aquarium. This place, however, could use some improvement. For example, some of the areas are not well maintained and the amount of darkness in some of the places is slightly dangerous because one is unable to see properly. Furthermore, the Axolotl enclosure was slightly disappointing. I had expected something bigger and more substantial. On the other hand, the Monsoon Falls exhibit (the one in which there is a Giant Gourami) is one of the more impressive aspects of this place. I doubt that this is feasible, but it would be lovely to have days in which people could enjoy the aquarium silently. For example, many places have days upon which visitors attend and do not speak loudly and do not shout. These days are designed for Persons with Autism, who might be sensitive to louder sounds. Although I recommend this place, it is slightly expensive. Many of the reviews of this place consistently raise the same issues, such as the exorbitant price, the atmosphere of the place and that it should contain more things to see. I do hope that those who are in charge of making decisions about The Blue Reef Aquarium do take the time to read the feedback. It has the potential to be even better.

It is a nice experience, and there is a large array of fishes to see, there is a different feeding and talk event every hour and the staff are very friendly and happy to answer questions. The outdoor play area is sizeable, though a bit tired looking. There are some nice benches inside the aquarium to give you a little rest or to simply sit and enjoy watching some of the fish. The PS14 per adult feels slightly steep but this does allow you all day access, kids under 3 are free. Parking is outside on the main road and will be difficult to find a spot during holidays.

It's Okay, nothing special. A little expensive personally for what you get, you can easily get around the whole place in under an hour, you can spend longer if you stop to read things and view the fish and listen to talks. I'm not sure if one of the displays is under renovation, but a whole area is boarded up, and you walk through a narrow dark walkway. Some areas look a little dated and could do with a touch-up, and the gift shop was definitely disappointing and expensive.

It was a very lovely aquarium with a lot of exhibits. The fish looked in very good health and it was a very nice layout. There was hood service and the fish talks were very interesting! Was very good for the price
