Lovely hidden gem! Staff were really kind and helpful. Great day out. If you pay for a day ticket they mean it, if you want to leave and then go back in you can.
Lovely aquarium. We visited in the rain, so was on the busy side. Plenty to hold us. All the tanks were clean and looked well cared for. Busy little cafe. Offered hot and cold drinks. Toasted sandwiches and pizza. There was ice cream there as well. There was a large pay display carpark about a 5 minute walk away.
We love it here ! Our second time here today, we drive over 1hr and 30 minutes but we think it's worth it. My little boy is only 8 months so it's a huge sensory experience for him ! yes it is small, however we do one trip round sit in the lovely cafe for a coffee and a feed and then walk back round ! Personally better than the bigger other seaside aquariums.... Very clean changing facilities and the staff are very very polite ! Also super close to parking which is a bonus with a little one ! Perfect "rainy day" day out.
Great day out with the kids. Not as much as it should have in the aquarium for the price, it's relatively small. It is fun tho and worth a trip at least once. You can also pet a snake in the reptile enclosure. There is a cafe and bathrooms as well in the building so ideal for ppl with kids or anyone who gets hungry lol.
Great little aquarium. Nice to know we can pop in again the same day if we wanted to. (Included in ticket price). Lovely water tunnel too.
Good morning activity. The aquatic tunnel was very good. We got to pet a snake (called pretzel !) who was very cute. Moderately expensive - but worth it IMO
