Really enjoyed our visit here. The ticket allows you to visit as many times as you would like throughout the day. There are plenty of fish, turtles, lobsters and sharks to see. There is somewhere to buy food and drinks but you can also bring your own food and eat in designated areas. The whole place is easily accessible with no need for steps and everything at a good height for all to see.

It's a fun aquarium with some amazing specimens of fish, shark, ray, turtle, eel, seahorse and jellyfish, along with the occasional frog, octopus and dinosaur! There are 7 different areas to explore and the ticket allows you to come back as many times in the day as you want. The tanks are well lit, and some of them are walk-through, giving you some amazing views of the animals inside. It's usually PS21.25 at the door, and PS2 cheaper if you're a student or over 65. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Bristol for an hour or 2.

Great day out and experience for little ones. Great for accessibility wheelchair whise. No steps that I noticed for the areas that you would go to at the aquarium. Most of the fish are kids eye level which is good too if you struggle to pick kids up or have smaller kids. There are talks throughout the day for the different areas and the different fish. Just wish it could be a bit bigger.

This aquarium is quite small and we usually get round in about 45 minutes but the ticket allows you to return as many times as you want on the day of visit which is good. Our children enjoy visiting and like to spot the dinosaurs in the botanic garden areas. The fact sheets next to each tank are really informative and give pause for thought. The tanks are well decorated and spacious. We've never had to wait to enter and have never found it too busy. There is a designated baby changing cubicle and there are also baby changing tables in the female toilet which is a bonus.

Worth visiting if you're around the area. Variety of fish. Both children and adults would enjoy. Parking near the site is Millennium car park. Bristol cathedral is near to it. You can also visit science museum but need to pay for it separately.

Quite nice aquarium! You can use the ticket to visit it more than one time during the day. Staff are very kind and helpful. Good selection of fish and other sea creatures. Ideal for kids!
