Lovely little gem in the heart of Derbyshire. The fish are clearly looked after and it is well informed about the history of the water here. Only thing I can suggest is having hand washing or sanitiser after feeding the fish, as there were no public toilets available at the venue.

It's not a bad little place for the kids. It is a very small attraction but has some great views and facts to be seen. Takes less than 25 mins to get around the venue. Adults cost PS6.50, but I'm not sure how much for children. Take 50p pieces if you want to feed the fish.

Great little place for young kids. PS6.50 entry for adults, PS5 for kids. Please bear in mind this place is only small, but for the money isn't too bad. There's an aquarium, petrified well, some gems/rocks, 3d photos & a tunnel of lights. It only took us 20mins but was fun to look around.

PS6.50 is definitely not a fortune and for that you get few aquariums and a big one full of random fish. and a corner of water that turned items into stone? and funny mirrors upstairs with some holographic pictures. Spent about 1 hour, had fun.

Great little place. Some stunning fish both inside and especially the koi in the old outdoor swimming pool

Matlock is beautiful and we walked up High Tor which I'd a steep climb but had plenty of benches along the way to rest if needed. Can be a but muddy in places after long periods of rainfall but this is throughout the walk and only in small areas. At the top the views are breathtaking but don't go too close to the edge. Cable cars weren't on when we went due to high winds and was told it was about 28 quid for 2 people to go up in them. There are plenty of fish and chip places along the front and arcades for those who want a quick gamble. The place was hammered when we went and thr crowds make it hard to get down the front. Seems to be popular with the motorbike folk. There are a few coffee bars and the front almost felt like the seaside without the beach. I'm not sure why they have so many arcades along the front nor what draws the crowds here as I've seen nicer places in the peaks. Overall had a good walk but not somewhere I'd stay over in as there's not really alot going on bar the caves and arcades. Also parking was a NIGHTMARE and gypsies have set up camp on the carpark.
