Skegness Aquarium

Negative experience: Took my four year old grandson here today. He did say he liked it. But £30 it cost me and at a push was in and out in 40 mins. That included cup of coffee and juice. So deffo no return.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful little aquarium with large variety of aquatic animals. Peaceful, quiet great place for children. The dinosaurs experience was a lovely event. Cafe has a great range of foods and offer alternatives milks which is a bounce. Indoor play area if huge. The shop had some amazing gifts in.

Positive experience: Skegness aquarium is a small experience for such a large price. You can get through the aquarium very quickly and it’s not as large as you think it is. The place is looking a little tired now. The fish and animals are great but you can see them at lots of aquariums and sanctuaries.

Fantastic experience: Bought the shark snorkelling experience for my son for Christmas and he loved it! James the instructor was fantastic and the sharks were awesome! What a great way to raise awareness for these awesome creatures!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience! We booked the Shark Dive for our 12 year old and the Shark Snorkel for our 7 year old. Both boys loved it! Our 12 year old dived at 10am and our 7 year old snorkelled at 11:30am, which enabled us to watch both boys in the different tanks. The instructors were patient, friendly and informative about all of the sea life they were going to encounter. Not once did we feel rushed, which was great. I would definitely recommend this as an adult or a child as it is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: We booked a dive experience for our son which was amazing! Would definitely recommend, his first time scuba diving and the guys looked after him really well, an excellent experience.

Positive experience: We took our 3 month old for a walk round here and she loved looking at the colours. You can easily walk round in 20 minutes. I'd say it is slightly expensive for the experience.

Fantastic experience: Me and my children visited the aquarium yesterday for my sons 7th Birthday. It was truly a memorial afternoon. They absolutely loved it. The instructor Josh was great and really took time to talk to them and explain about all the sharks and fish. The other team members were also extremely helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to chat too. Thank you Akegness Aquarium. You have given us the diving bug!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, done the aquarium tank dive with a couple of friends who dive, I don't, instructor was friendly and very clear on his instructions and everyone was very good. 110% recommended

Fantastic experience: My partner and I along with a couple of close friends came and did the shark experience this weekend we were greeted by Pauline who was very helpful with a wealth of of knowledge and experience. We were given our kit and dive brief by the instructor and his colleague which put our non diver friend at ease. The whole experience was amazing and the fish and shark’s were fantastic! Would recommend this experience to anyone! Thanks all At Skegness aquarium

Fantastic experience: Swam with Sharks experience. Really good day, with excellent staff and great views from café.

Fantastic experience: It's my birthday today 26TH NOVEMBER 2025 and so we decided to visit the Aquarium. from start to finish the staff were so helpful. My husband is a paraplegic and the staff held the door open to help. The establishment was clean and all areas were wheelchair accessible. I spotted what looked to me like a fish with a wound so I found a member of staff to alert them that this fish was not acting normal. The staff were informative and explained that this particular fish was born with an exposed Gill but it was OK and happy. The BISTRO WAS AMAZING. Staff were friendly and chatty. Michelle and Joanne served us. I noticed that they were serving Costa Coffee so I asked if I could have my free birthday Costa. They explained that they are not associated with Costa just sell their drinks. They made us feel so comfortable. My husband had a very tasty toastie with thick ham and cheese. I had the Most Tasty Chilli on a Jacket Potato. The Best tasting CHILLI EVER and because I had asked for my free birthday drink.. The ladies brought out a birthday sweet treat for free. I was so touched. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A VISIT IF YOU ARE EVER AT SKEGNESS. Thank you Michelle and Joanne for making my birthday memorable and special with your heartfelt and thoughtful show of kindness.

Fantastic experience: Shark Dive Experience What an incredible experience, purchased as a Christmas gift so I can’t comment on price but the event was definitely valuable. As a first time diver, the staff were amazing at preparing me for the dive. We went through all the safety points and how to use the equipment before getting some information on the creatures we would be seeing. We were in the tank for approximately 50minutes which was much longer than expected. So much opportunity to spend time with the fish and really take in their beauty. My parents also had a fabulous time watching me completely in my element, insisting on pointing out a shark every time I saw one. Hundreds of photos taken and excitedly awaiting the video now too! I think I may have unlocked a new hobby….

Fantastic experience: Went for the dive experience with my partner, was really fun and the general aquarium is great as well

Fantastic experience: Really great aquarium, loads to see and very entertaining for all the family.

Fantastic experience: I had the best day ever Diving with the team and sharks/fish. The tuition was spot on and made me feel relaxed for when we went down under the surface.I can not recommend this experience enough so don't think twice just do it won't regret it. Thanks everyone who was there on the 7th August.

Fantastic experience: I participated in the yoga session at the aquarium!

Positive experience: Was nice to see some different species of fish and some sharks. Wasn't as big as we thought so was a little disappointed, was glad we managed to get discount tickets as didn't feel like £60 was worth a family ticket unfortunately

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic experience, the instructors were excellent, the dive was amazing, would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Positive experience: Visited during the school holidays with our family of four, two adults, a 12-year-old, and a 5-month-old in a pram. We’re big fans of zoos and aquariums, and we thought this would be a great sensory experience for our newborn, which it was. He was fascinated by the movement and colours of the fish, and the tanks were well lit and easy for him to see. That said, I had my reservations when we arrived. From the outside, the building looked quite small, and I suspected we wouldn’t be inside for very long unfortunately, I was right. You could walk around the entire place in 10 minutes if you didn’t stop much. Considering the price, I found it quite steep for the size and variety on offer. While I’ve definitely been to better aquariums, I will say the tanks were clean and the fish appeared healthy and well cared for. The standout is a large showpiece tank, which is lovely, but during school holidays it gets very crowded and that does take away from the experience. Our baby enjoyed it, but our 12-year-old lost interest fairly quickly and was more excited about heading out to play mini golf, which I believe is included in the ticket price. Would I recommend it? Possibly – it’s not bad for a rainy day or a short outing, especially with very young children. But on a warm, sunny day, I think there are better ways to spend your time and money.

Fantastic experience: My son did the junior snorkel yesterday at 3.30pm. The team are fantastic and very knowledgeable. My Son was very nervous before going in and was soon put to ease when the instructor made him laugh a few times. Definitely worth it and would highly recommend this experience.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing and if you are goin i highly recommend the dive education, I loved it ,the staff were all really knowledgeable and helpful, I felt safe in there hands ,plus they are all cheerful and easy to talk to. The place is a welcome attraction to skegness.

Fantastic experience: Interesting aquatic collection with a good range of activities for children, including a colouring task where your creation is brought to life on a big screen. Dino exhibit was lovely with some animatronic dinosaurs. Cafe is better value than expected with a soft play area (up to 11yrs). Staff friendly and helpful, and we're able to talk to us about caring for their inhabitants. There is the opportunity to scuba with the sharks in their giant tank! We prebooked our tickets through a popular discount site and it was about half the standard price. (Must book the previous day to use this) Overall a lovely afternoon for the family (48, 40, 14 and 8)

Negative experience: Very small sea life for the price. Very small selection of fish other than marine nothing else. Dino adventure walk is okay to say, the least but can clearly see it what used to be the modle village. The whole thing was done In under 30 minutes and cost a family of 5 over £70 for entry Plus photo. I'd advice going to the seal sanctuar.

Negative experience: Lovely place, not cheap, but decent value. Our visit spoiled in the cafe. Staff refused to sell a small ice cream for one of 4 kids who missed out. Just refused to sell one. WHY?

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. My son did the snorkelling with baby sharks experience and it was amazing. Very well organised and the instructor was engaging, funny and professional. With the tickets you get entry into the aquarium after. A really fantastic day!

Positive experience: This would be a one time visit, not worth the money

Negative experience: AVOID!!!!!! Total waste of money takes 15 mins to walk around at a cost of £60 for 2 adults and 2 kids

Fantastic experience: Was a lovely experience for myself and the children. Well kept and clean and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable

Fantastic experience: My son & I took part in the diving experience - we were total newbies and the staff on the day were really good and put us at ease. We had some trouble on the roads & parking, so would suggest that you leave plenty of time before your dive time. We're looking forward to seeing the video of our dive

Fantastic experience: I booked the Shark Dive experience for my Son. Being only 10 he was quite nervous, but the the Dive team are really friendly and reassured him and really put him at ease. He had a fantastic experience, really enjoyed it so thank you very much. I would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: My 13yr old daughter completed a shark dive this weekend. The information from the dive team was good. Communication with them has been brilliant. The pre-dive learning was clear and linked to the instructors talk given prior to the dive. The instructors were so friendly, both to her as the diver, but also myself as her (slightly nervous) adult. The actual dive took the divers' accompanying friends and family into consideration by ensuring there were plenty of photo opportunities. The sharks and rays don't seem that bothered by the divers and so remain aloof. The other fish in the tank are curious and gather round, swimming around the divers. The instructors were vigilant and constantly checked in with the divers and their air tanks. I felt reassured that they were keeping an eye on my daughter (and the others). I can't emphasize just how good this was. I highly recommend it. My daughter said, "it was great fun, I loved it and I felt safe." Thank you to everyone who looked after us on Saturday 28/6/25 at 9am. It was very much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: We loved the aquarium visit and the shark dive experience was excellent. It was absolutely 3 hours well spent. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional and the fish were great at photo bombing! (See photo.)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience. Due to last min health change, had to swap dive for snorkelling and they were very accommodating. Had a beautiful time feeding some aquatic animals (small sharks and stingrays), made my day very special. Can’t wait to come back and do the real dive :).

Positive experience: Quite expensive to enter and not much in there, just a big room in a circle shape, they had a good Dinosaur display outside with moving dinosaurs- good if you've good kids, coffee shop and cafe upstairs, it was ok, expensive for what it was but passed an hour and half including a cuppa

Positive experience: Lots of fish. Dinosaur park. Not as big as I thought it would be.

Negative experience: avid sea life fan. so was very, very excited to be coming here today. and I really, really wish I could recommend this place, but I really can't. over in 10/15 mins, all tanks had the same fish in I swear, and my 3 year old wanted to leave even she was bored. absolutely scandalous for what it costs. who do I contact for a refund? I've never, ever left a bad review on anything before in my 33 years of existence but this place has taken the biscuit. complete waste of travelling and money. I got to the end in about 10 mins and was shocked when I saw the exit sign. I genuinely thought someone was having me on. lower your prices because especially in a cost of living crisis, this is a complete and utter scam.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. The dive team were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They were all brilliant start to finish. I fully recommend anyone to give this ago.

Fantastic experience: AMAZING!!! I got the dive experience for my birthday, it was an amazing and loved that my family could watch me. Wish I could have stayed longer in the tank.

Fantastic experience: We took my 14 year old, shark mad, daughter for the dive experience, and it was worth every penny! The Dive staff were fantastic, didn't patronise her, but explained everything in easy to understand terms which left her really confident to take on her first dive. For her, it was a truly magical experience - so much so, we have booked to go back in August. It gave my daughter the chance to experience something we didn't think possible without a costly trip abroad - I cannot recommend it enough. We then toured the aquarium which was fantastic, and any staff we had dealings with were friendly and helpful.....a five star experience from beginning to end!

Negative experience: I’m not quite sure why this has got such good reviews 1. 2 adults 1 teen 1 baby 1 5 year old £60 It took us less than 18 minutes to walk around It was boring the dinosaur part was very sad and very uninteresting for the kids the inside were a few cave type things but all in all ridiculous

Fantastic experience: We came for the Ranger experience today for my daughter and her cousin. Adon was amazing with the children! So knowledgable, calm and patient; such a lovely manner with them all and a fab experience for the children to take part in! We would highly recommend to all!

Negative experience: Disappointed at the small size of the place, it doesn't feel good value for money. The fish are lovely as are the aquariums but it definitely doesn't compare to sea life.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! The team were knowledgeable, reassuring and supportive! I started to panic before going into the water and the team were patient with me to make it possible for me to complete my experience. They took care of me the whole time I was under water and I’m soo glad I did it, as it was the most beautiful and surreal experience ever!! Thank you

Fantastic experience: One of the best Acqarium visited. Loved this Place

Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful and amazing experience for me and my Hubby. We really loved the Guidance given by Mr.Josh. He kept us really calm and ensured that we are safe and enjoying our experience throughout. I really wanted to have another round. And I would recommend coming here for beginners who want to try dive as well as for people who want to explore scuba diving as a one-off experience. Loved it

Fantastic experience: My daughter who is 13 did a shark dive here on the 27th May 2025. She absolutely loved it!! All the staff were so friendly, professional and patient. Everything was thoughroughly explained and nothing was rushed. Being able to watch her was brilliant; from the big window to round past the tunnel. There were plenty of opportunities to interact with her and take some great photos and videos of our own. We also ordered a video of her experience taken by the team in the water with her. This has just arrived and was really lovely to watch. It's a lovely memento of the experience. I would highly recommend a shark dive here, you won't be disappointed!

Positive experience: The lady on the service desk was very friendly and then when entering was clean and very nice where the fish and arachnids were. We stopped at the cafe, I found the lady with glasses on the desk quite rude and abrupt. We carried on round to the dino area and then finishing in the gift shop, the lady in there was very friendly and nice.

Fantastic experience: We took our grandson for the snorkeling experience. The whole experience was well delivered and informative for all the children who were there. The instructor didn't rush the experience and gave everyone a chance to absorb and take in the whole thing. would highly recommend. The only negative would be that space can be quite limited for spectators.

Fantastic experience: Lovely little place, the viewing bit was fab with the sharks etc in also saw the divers cleaning it ...dinosaur park was good too...

Fantastic experience: My husband and I did the shark dive experience yesterday with Josh as our lead instructor. We both absolutely loved the experience! We will definitely be recommending it to others. Josh was amazing: friendly, professional, funny and made us feel at ease and confident with exactly what we needed to do and he was reassuring throughout the entire experience. 10/10. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to see the video! Hannah and Aaron.

Positive experience: My children enjoyed the visit, however, the place is very small! We got a 50% off voucher with planet offers so for the price we paid it was okay but I would definitely not be happy to pay full price for it! The aquarium is well looked after, the dinosaur part was good to and they have a cafe upstairs which we didn’t use but it does have a soft play which is a nice touch for those with kids wanting to burn some energy! If you are looking to kill an hour or two then it’s worth a visit!

Negative experience: Expensive for what it is. Displays and talks on micro plastics and their deleterious effects on the ocean, yet they have multiple machines selling cheap plastic kids toys that are likely to end up in landfill in no time.

Fantastic experience: Shark diving experience - just wow. My daughter and I did this as a birthday present for her 13th. From booking until getting out the water the whole experience was amazing. Lots of communication the whole way through and at the aquarium the staff were all super friendly and fun, very very professional and really looked after us. The experience itself was amazing but went way too quickly. The fish were beautiful, all very well cared for and people friendly too. The tanks are pretty heavy but once in the water obviously a lot lighter. Overall a great introduction to diving , thank you all so so much. Oh also for my husband as a photographer on the outside of the tank he also had a great time

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, the dive team take such good care of you. Worth every penny, couldn't recommend this highly enough, great memories for diver and their family. Dive team took the time to bring a big sign into the aquarium saying happy birthday as it was my 50th today, great pictures. An experience I'll never forget. Thanks very much to everyone for a great day.

Fantastic experience: Bought the Snorkeling experience for my granddaughters birthday. She loved it. Well worth the money. She wants to do the scuba dive next. The staff are fantastic and put the children at ease. The whole aquarium and dinosaur exhibit are a nice day out. We are regulars.

Fantastic experience: SHARK EDUCATIONAL DIVE I cannot stress how great the team and experience are. If there were 100 stars I would give them. My son bought me the shark dive experience as a present as I have always wanted to dive with sharks. I do have chronic health issues and needed to get medical clearance, but the team were so friendly, professional, and supportive. They made everything really clear and easy to understand and were fully supportive without being smothering. They made possible a dream I did not think I would ever be able to do.

Negative experience: £46.50 for 2 adults / 1 child, walked around in 20 minutes. Absolute rubbish. Few smaller tanks & 1 larger tank. I also enquired about if they did tickets for disabled / carers… was told no. Most other attractions do.

Fantastic experience: Partner had a shark diving experience and he loved it, was a really great experience with the fish tanks being super clean and clear with lots of healthy fish. Enjoyed going around and doing the little quiz trail added an extra fun element and made you pay more attention to the signage around. Good afternoon out.

Fantastic experience: Did the shark educational dive on Thursday 15th May. What an incredible experience. The team were so supportive, helpful and friendly. Really great experience. I have not scuba dived before but the team made it less scary and fun. The fish/rays/sharks were amazing. Would thoroughly recommend. Will come back and do this again for sure

Fantastic experience: Had been bought a swim with Sharks experience and my word the proffesionalism of these guys is incredible, and the experience itself was magical - would highly recommend

Positive experience: It was nice but I think it is extremely expensive for what it is. Staff were wonderful. I do wish there was more for the money we paid.

Fantastic experience: I did the shark dive with Aden. It was absolutely AWESOME from start to finish. The staff are all fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, are great at explaining everything, putting you at ease and making the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. It was far better than I imagined and 100% recommend giving it a go. The fish were very inquisitive and up close & personal which was FABULOUS!! The entire aquarium is clean and well looked after. I want another go!!!

Positive experience: A great place to see, for both children and adults - there's also a dinosaur section - worth going to have a break from the 'bracing' weather!

Positive experience: Lovely aquarium worth a visit, little bit on the smaller side but still plenty to see. Priced a little on the higher side for the size. Nice new attraction outside with dinosaurs.

Fantastic experience: I brought this for my husband’s birthday, he absolutely loved the experience the staff were great, helpful & very friendly. I would highly recommend

Negative experience: Rubbish .... Overpriced for A 20 minute walk around , very little amount of tanks , a dinosaur outside area which is just a space filler it seems , it would be one star but it is clean and presentable , don't come here if you want to see fish and aquatic life , go find a bigger aquarium Honestly go to the seal sanctuary for cheaper and see better amount of animals , even a big koi pond

Fantastic experience: It is a good place to visit with a child. There is a dinosaur park attached to the aquarium. So one ticket means almost a full day of fun for kids.

Fantastic experience: My son recently did the ranger snorkelling experience and absolutely loved it, he’s told everyone about it and loved learning all about the sharks.

Fantastic experience: Great day out, especially if the weather is not too good. Lovely cafe with young children's play area. Really enjoyed it here.

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic experience. Josh was the best host along with his colleagues who made me and my daughter feel very welcome. My daughter did the snorkelling in the morning and was offered the chance to join me on the afternoon dive experience. She had a moment of panic whilst in the water and returned to the surface due to being overwhelmed with the breathing situation and claustrophobia (pretty normal when first diving!)... The instructor reassured my daughter and help her keep calm. He asked if she wished to go back in and she did. We both had an incredible time and felt it changed our lives through overcoming 'the fear!'.... Thank you everyone for a brilliant day!

Fantastic experience: Was brilliant a lot of cool big fish they look small on tv but in real life they are big

Negative experience: Took my daughter to the aquarium on Good Friday, was very disappointed with the size..paid about £25 for both of us & was back out within an hour and that included looking, reading, pictures. I suppose if I had smaller children the dinosaur area and cafe would have meant we were there longer as something 'to do' for little ones in the play areas. No bigger than the aquarium you see at Alton Towers as a token aquarium. Quite disappointed really. If going book online for a discount & if a co-op member use the discount they give. Pleased we didn't pay full price.

Negative experience: Here now, absolutely shocking. £60 one big tank, few small tanks. Couple of snakes and a spider. Some plastic dinosaurs and done. Go to the deep!

Fantastic experience: My Two children Did the Dive with sharks and it was amazing! They said it was the best bit of their holiday! The two men who taught them where amazing and made the kids feel at ease! My kids have done the snorkel and dive with sharks 5STAR!

Negative experience: Scandalous pricing if not getting an offer and even the offer pricing off discount sites doesn't justify the offering. Absolute rip-off. I get the 5 star reviews for the scuba dive experience if you've paid extra for that, but as a walk round, drop on the day fix .... Don't bother. Understaffed at entrance, expect a long wait, when there is a sign saying you will be ejected if you cause distress and disturbance aimed at staff at entry,... There's the red flags right there. Poor attraction, save your money and go to the seal sanctuary.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to visit and well with the money.

Fantastic experience: My most favourite, local to me, place. This place just rocks. I'll post pictures and a vid or two. I have a yearly pass which also gives discounts to other venues the parent company owns.

Fantastic experience: Our twin daughters recently attended the aquarium for the diving experience and they absolutely loved it. We were a little apprehensive as they are small for their age but the staff were fantastic and put us all at our ease ensuring that the girls knew exactly what to do and had a wonderful and enjoyable experience. We can highly recommend Skegness Aquarium.

Fantastic experience: Had a shark dive experience on 5.4.25 and it was an excellent day. extremely informative and well organised. Dive team were superb at passing on relevant information and keeping us safe. I felt comfortable at all stages of the event and would highly recommend this to anyone. Even without any previous skills in this, it would easily be possible to have manged this as the dive team were beyond helpful. Thank you for a great experience

Fantastic experience: Josh the instructor was amazing so calm and humourous at the right times my two chuldr n was at ease straight away and listened to his every word (to ish they'd listen to me like that) the sharks were all over there feet and was happy to be near them they saw so much and was over the moon. I'd have happily payed double for this experience. Well worth the money and they've already asked for the big deep dive

Fantastic experience: My daughter took part in the Shark Snorkelling Ranger Experience during our visit here and absolutely loved every minute of it!

Fantastic experience: Went today with my Grandson and he absolutely loved it,We was there about 2 hours,We liked the card that they give you to find facts about Animals and a nice prize at the end.

Fantastic experience: Great place to take the family for a afternoon out. Great for little children and the soft play area in the cafe is a lovely touch. Cafe also does nice food.

Fantastic experience: We booked the Swim with Sharks experience. It was an amazing experience for my 13 year old daughter. The training beforehand is easy to understand and very clear. The staff are lovely and make you feel at ease and take it step by step to build up your confidence. Even if you've never been scuba diving before it is so simple and safe.

Fantastic experience: Our DD did the snorkelling shark experience, absolutely fantastic!!, Josh was very knowledgeable and brilliant, explaining the different kinds of shark and their life/habitat. The aquarium itself is also worth a visit and good. Definitely would recommend

Fantastic experience: My husband and bought diving with shark experience!! It was amazing , the staff made it easy for us, the complete experience from start to finish was fun, enjoyable, the diving was brilliant, the fish were massive and nosey, the sharks weren't interested in us at all, we felt safe and in good hands with both of their professional divers, highly recommend skegness aquarium

Fantastic experience: Great place for families. Lots to see. Can dive with the fish with supervision. Good cafe and play area. Dinosaur Park attached.

Positive experience: Very small aquarium, however it was only £30 for two adults - so that negated the disappointment. Informative, well presented exhibits and clean toilets.

Fantastic experience: I did the Shark Education Dive for my 40th Birthday and it's one of the best experiences of my life. It was my 1st time diving at all and the team were so lovely, and couldnt have been more helpful. Its been a bucket list experience for me to swim with sharks, so getting so close to them and everything else was just magical. Even came home with a sharks tooth we found in the tank

Fantastic experience: Just back from a Diving with Sharks experience at Skegness Aquarium. I cannot praise the diving team highly enough. Never having dived before and being at the higher end of the age spectrum I was slightly concerned as to how I would cope with the equipment etc.. However, the instructors soon put me at ease and at no time did I feel my safety was compromised. The experience itself was brilliant, to be in the tank knowing the sharks were swimming just above your head and having all the other beautiful tropical fish swimming about you was amazing. Thanks to all for making this experience so memorable.

Fantastic experience: Wow what a great experience. The staff are brilliant and very knowledgeable and helpful. It is a great experience would advise to old and young. I am 66 and what an adventure ✨️

Fantastic experience: What an incredible day at Skegness aquarium on our scuba diving experience. Jamie and the team were friendly, knowledgeable and very supportive! The dive was well organised and I felt confident once in the tank despite some initial nerves! To be immersed with the fish was amazing and an experience I’ll never forget! It was great to be able to spend the rest of the day taking our time to look around the aquarium too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something different!

Fantastic experience: We recently visited the aquarium for our first ever dive adventure, and it was unreal, unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Our instructor Jamie was very knowledgeable and made us feel extremely safe throughout every part of the dive. I would highly recommend this to anyone! We had such a great time and thank you for having us.

Fantastic experience: We booked online and got a discount during the half term. Staff were friendly and helpful. The aquarium is small but our kids loved it. We would definitely visit again. The jurassic area was also great. We arrived just after opening and it was quite quiet too.

Fantastic experience: My kids did the shark snorkel experience this weekend. It was fascinating, excellent value and they had a great time. I would highly recommend the experience and the aquarium.

Positive experience: My son attended the snorkelling with baby sharks. This is a really lovely activity. The instructor is knowledgeable and considerate to the needs of the members of the group. The activity is well organised and felt very very safe. Instructors encouraged and answered excellent questions. My only negative is regarding the video of the snorkelling experience. My son asked if we could purchase it for the memories and to share with his grandparents who had bought the experience. It was a waste because the camera was held at the wrong angle so you don't see them practicing their signals, or their excitement. The participants went through a process of waving at the camera and all that's on shot for the taller kids is their wetsuit. So don't be tempted to upsell on the merch, but do give the activity a try.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful experience . Another tick off the bucket list! Staff are knowledgeable and helpful catering for all age groups . The aquarium it self is well looked after with super healthy / cared for fish.

Fantastic experience: My 6 year old got a voucher for the snorkeling with sharks experience for Christmas. Booking was easy and we were able to get the day and time we wanted. The communication from the dive centre was excellent and we completed the e-learning and documentation with no issues which meant the actual day went very smoothly. The aquarium is quite small but has a great range of creatures. We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits, finding there was an appropriate amount of information about the sea life and good signposts to more if you're interested

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. The aquarium itself was amazing, we were there for over 3 hours looking at all the animals and could have stayed longer. The shark diving was incredible. 45 mins felt like 10. Great staff, all thoroughly explained and a truly mesmerising experience. Highly recommend it!
