St Andrews Aquarium

Fantastic experience: My son loved it, the penguin feeding time was fun and informative. Highly recommended

Positive experience: Great place to spend an hour or two with the kids.

Fantastic experience: It's very clean, informative and interactive, definitely worth the visit

Fantastic experience: My 4 year old twins loved every area of the aquarium, looking for all the different types of fish and animals

Positive experience: Interesting and informative. Had a good hour in here, staff wre helpful,knowledgeable and cheerful

Fantastic experience: Having been to both aquariums in Scotland recently this one is far better

Fantastic experience: Nice aquarium. Bigger than thought. Annimals easy to see. Beautiful!

Fantastic experience: Amazing animals! Meerkats were so cute and posed for the camera. Architecture and layout of each exhibit is so thoughtful

Fantastic experience: The only things happier to be here besides us were the animals. My favorite aquarium

Fantastic experience: A brilliant aquarium that's well worth the visit. They have a wide variety of things and a good little cafe. Its right next to a nice little beach. The only disappointing aspect was parking.... all of the disabled bays were taken up by cars not displaying badges .

Fantastic experience: a great place with access to the beach nearby

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place with lots to see. Great talks at feeding time for the sharks and meerkats!

Positive experience: Don't come expecting either to be able to park easily or get something eat. There's no cafe and parking is a nightmare. The girl speaking to us during the penguin feeding spoke too fast to understand what's she was saying.

Negative experience: Poor quality for the price. We were extremely disappointed by the visit, especially since we visited the Macduff aquarium last year and it was superior to the St Andrews one. We felt ripped off and very unsatisfied with the visit. Would not recommend this for a good day out. Save your money!

Negative experience: Don't bother if a member of your family is a wheelchair user.

Negative experience: I'd rate 0 if I could, I drove 4 hours after looking at the reviews and them saying it was a good day out, I work in a well known fish shop and could of seen 80% of the animals at work which is the most annoying part, it then cost £32 for two adults to walk around a small room for half an hour my one year old got bored very quickly due to lack of interactive things to do, the place is also not wheel chair or pram accessible me and my partner had to carry the buggy up and down stairs which is disgraceful. The staff where very cold refused the girl at the front desk just handed us a map and said nothing else and when we went to leave we got my child a teddy and the same girl refused to acknowledge us at the till and continued to do other things and left us waiting for 10 minutes. The penguins looked very depressed as the enclosure they are in is way too small got 3 penguins and looked uncleaned.

Positive experience: Lovely aquarium and enjoyed our visit but felt recent price increases were quite a lot compared to what was on offer. Will be back in the future when in the area.

Positive experience: Short visit, not that much to see, but I'm sure the upkeep reflects the ticket price

Negative experience: We visited as a family of 4 at the weekend and it was a major let down. Majorly over priced for what was on offer, the outdoor section was closed with no notice of that on arrival and waited 15mins for ray/shark feeding only to them not to be fed!! Unfortunately a poor experience with a young family.

Fantastic experience: Penguin Feeding Experience - after having to reschedule a few times then arriving on a day when the aquarium had a power cut, it was touch and go if the Experience was going to go ahead. One crying, sad son however the lovely staff came to the rescue and managed to allow it to go ahead. Two delighted children, getting to meet and feed the lovely penguins. Thank you for saving the day!

Negative experience: I was a bit underwhelmed with the visit. For £30 (1 adult and 1 child), it seemed very steep for what was actually offered. We probably spent 45 minutes in total, and 15 minutes of that was the gift shop. I don't want to be super critical, but I was expecting to see more.

Fantastic experience: Lovely place to visit, lots of sea creatures to see, also funny meerkats and penguins! Left better impression then I was expecting also beautiful area by the sea, where you have plenty of space for walks, restaurants and gift shop! Worth to visit!

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place for the whole family

Fantastic experience: As an aquarium enthusiast living in Scotland, I had to visit st Andrews' one. It was fantastic, I really loved the vivariums and the meerkats as well. There's also real Scottish SHARKS, insane. The tanks are clean and the fish looks happy, which is all I care about. 7/5 would definitely go back again if only it was easy to go to st Andrews but somehow they decided they didn't want a train station

Fantastic experience: I never would’ve thought there would be an aquarium right next to the golf course. What a cool spot.

Positive experience: Visited on a Saturday afternoon in April. Wasn’t very busy. Nice place but only took us an hour to see it all.

Negative experience: As far as days out go on the value for money against other tourist attractions I thought this was pretty poor value for money. Not accessible for wheelchairs and buggies either. Pretty disappointed if I'm honest. Talks seemed informative but that was the only positive. Wouldn't recommend

Fantastic experience: The aquarium was nice, there were many different species of any animal, fish mostly but turtles, frogs, spiders and meercats as well. The place aquarium stands on is perfect as well, it's just in the middle of a city and there is a beach and a golf pitch just beside it. There is a lot of information on the boards all over the aquarium that tells you everything you want to know about all sorts of animals. Sometimes you can see how sharks and stingrays are being fed, that looks amazing as well!

Positive experience: A nice aquarium, but fairly small so you can see everything in a little over an hour without going fast. It felt quite pricy as a result but still enjoyed by all

Fantastic experience: We had an impromptu visit, driven in by rain and wind. What a cool surprise! Very good aquarium with lots of great exhibits. The penguins were a lot of fun.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant day today Friday 11th April. Big shout out to Fin at the aquarium, very helpful, kind and knowledgeable he took his time to chat with us and explain all about the sharks, fish, skates, meercats penguins etc. Thanks Fin from the 5 women from Glasgow.

Fantastic experience: Lovely aquarium, and lovely gift shop.

Fantastic experience: The aquarium isn't really set up for taking prams but we were told to go around the exit first and then work our way back so the staff were very helpful and the aquarium overall was very clean, lots to see and well structured, would recommend over the others like them for sure.

Positive experience: A good, small aquarium with a number of varied aquatic species and land animals. With two kids under 10yo, an easy day trip from Edinburgh via train/bus/walk. We completed the circuit within an hour and the kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt and sweetie. Tickets easily purchased from the kind lady at the front desk. Although expensive in my opinion, I certainly understand the conservation efforts by the aquarium. I wish it was a bit nicer; quite a smell as you pass through the doors of separated exhibits, the floors appear to not have been swept in quite a while, and many exhibits had condensation on the viewing glass preventing clear view of the animal. After a toy from the gift shop, we left with smiles after a good visit overall.

Positive experience: Nice helpful staff but it's set over many different levels so plenty steps to deal with.. probably not great for wheelchair and buggy ect

Fantastic experience: Had bought a family ticket voucher which was unfortunately out of date. Phoned ahead and was told the aquarium would still honour it which was great. Friendly staff upon entry and throughout. Exhibits are well maintained and animals look well cared for and happy. To note there are talks at certain times of the day for some exhibits. The sharks and rays tank was awesome, with some of the sharks and rays popping out of the water in places.

Fantastic experience: A great afternoon out, a great selection of aquatics, loved the penguins and merecats.. Informative interesting talks.. Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Lovely aquarium with many sea creatures. There were a mix of indoor and outdoor enclosures for the animals to suit their needs, which seemed quite nice. The meerkat enclosure was really cool, and the staff were very friendly and answered any questions people had. The mammals inside were quite a surprise, and it is quite good for an aquarium of such a size.

Fantastic experience: Currently undergoing repairs and work outdoors, but the inside has a considerable range of aquaria. Also various lizards and insects are rounded off with an active Meerkat mob or two. Well worth a visit, we have picked up an annual membership, which is well worth considering if you think you will visit a few times!

Fantastic experience: Came here with the family and it was amazing lots to see and do and the little scratch cards for the kids is a great way to get them interested in reading about the creatures and fish on display, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great way to spend an hour, lots of cool animals and fish. There's a kids quiz to complete along the way. Weirdly there is no prize at the end. Suggestion to give the kids a keyring or a sweetie. It wouldn't cost much

Fantastic experience: Great for kids, probably about an hours worth of entertainment. Your tickets are for all day so if you want to head out for lunch and come back it's very useful.

Fantastic experience: We visited with 5 adults, a 10yo, 5yo, 4yo, and 2yo. I felt the prices were good value. We had a voucher and I still thought the full price was good! The exhibits were nice and informative, with a fun quiz for the children. The kids enjoyed looking around and each found a special thing they kept going to. We watched the sharks and meerkats get fed and the talks were really interesting. We ate at the Saints Sizzler which was good value, serving burgers and fries (both meat and plant based). The staff were great and friendly and we enjoyed the food. Great day out!

Fantastic experience: My partner and I had the best day at St Andrews aquarium, it was lovely. When we got there, the lovely woman on the reception (I didn’t catch her name!) was very kind and personal, she let us know if we go to the meerkats first we will just make the feeding activity. Which was great, Fin then came out and gave a great talk for 15 minutes, making the session nice even disclosing the crickets which makes us all gitter. After that we decided to make the next 2, the monkey and the penguins. Penguins enclosure was brilliant, it was nice to see them so comfortable. You might go and think oh they’re cold! But if you wait for the talk Fin and Chris will tell you all about it and we got to see them in malting season. One of the penguins was swimming loads and giving himself belly scratches. We never usually stay for talks, but I highly recommend doing them on your trip as I seen a couple reviews saying there wasn’t enough to do. It is lovely and I think our best aquarium experience. For lunch, we went to the Saints Sizzle, wow! It was really reasonable, tasty and a decent portion. All staff were so friendly and again, must put a lot of effort into keeping enclosures clean! Thanks for a great day, and again to the woman on reception who was so helpful and welcoming during our trip

Positive experience: Booked the meerkat feeding experience for myself and a friend, we visited on a quiet Monday morning. The keeper was very knowledgable, we learned a lot about the 2 groups of meerkats and then had time to explore the aquarium afterwards. *The parking in front of the Aquariam at world of golf is free out of season (Sept-March) *

Fantastic experience: Good one for a short visit.

Fantastic experience: Small but enjoyable. Lots of different animals both from the land and aquatic.

Fantastic experience: We enjoyed our experience and our baby loved it. Staff was friendly and the penguins were awesome! Very convenient to be able to come and go.

Fantastic experience: A gem of an aquarium. Loads and loads to see and everything looked clean and well cared for. Brilliant for young kids or adults alike

Fantastic experience: St Andrews Aquarium is a fantastic family-friendly experience! The diverse range of species, from playful seals to colorful fish, kept us entertained for hours. The exhibits were well-maintained and informative, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed the interactive touch pool and the penguin feeding session. It's a great way to learn about marine life and support conservation efforts. Highly recommend a visit!

Positive experience: Lovely aquarium with a selection of sea life and creatures. Saw quite a few range of fish that I had never seen before. Staff were also really friendly and welcoming. If you are in St Andrews or nearby or have other activities planned alongside Id recommend. We drove an hour - it was a nice day out with the beach next door but I think a one time visit. It’s quite small - doesn’t take too much time to get through. It’s not very accessible unfortunately there are steps throughout the place (unless I missed there being lifts somewhere - I apologise!) - luckily we had extra hands to help out with the little ones but imagine if you’re a single parent with multiples it would be a bit tricky. People did have their prams going through and up and down steps.

Fantastic experience: Hello, I came on vacation to visit the aquarium because I saw it on the map. I absolutely loved it, very relaxing to see the animals. I highly recommend going here when you visit St. Andrews, the location is by the beach, a couple restaurants nearby withing walking distance. One of the pictires I post shows the path to the aquarium and what it looks like coming from the bus station. Go straight down that path once you see it. Enjoy

Positive experience: Aquarium and animals are well cared for. Was well catered for children. It was good they had talks going on (however was going very fast). Well worth the ticket price

Fantastic experience: The experience was good, albeit rather expensive for my family buget. I cant quantify how much the overheads really cost here, so perhaps not a fair gripe. This would have knocked a star off had the lad manning the place not been so helpful, friendly and patient. Everyone loved the feeding times and the place was very, very clean. The place is run well and that is testament to all the hard working staff. The coffee was also fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Excellent family day out. It's small but two visits with an all day pass kept everyone happy. I see a few people complaining about the meerkats, but they were the highlight for our 2 year old and there were an abundance of happy toddlers watching them, an excellent addition. From an adult perspective it was very interesting to see the local sea life which we never see from the surface.

Fantastic experience: Great place to visit, very friendly staff, once you've paid you can come and go as you please.

Fantastic experience: A lovely little aquarium by the sea, featuring some common and rare aquatic species in well maintained and presented tanks, as well as outside pools. Due to storm damage, the seals had been relocated when we visited - but from the work going on outside it was clear that they are working fast to get the seal enclosures fixed ASAP. There are also some non aquatic animals here - insects, meercats, and monkeys! My family was quite surprised by how large it is, as it looks small from the outside. Great way to spend the afternoon, and the staff here are friendly, professional, and full of knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Lovely family run spot. The animals are easy to spot and look very well looked after. Super friendly staff, great well stocked gift shop and cafe. It’s an old building so there are steps but you can go round in reverse & use the outside ramp to get to the lower levels

Fantastic experience: Such a great day out at the St.Andrew’s aquarium with my partner a couple of weeks ago, located literally right off the famous beach and only a couple of mins walk from St. Andrew’s main town. In the aquarium there are lots of different species of animal, from the jungle , to Amazon rain forest and the deep blue sea. There is also a gift shop and a place to get a bite to eat. Well worth the money for a nice day out with a loved one or family. Would well recommend ⚓️

Positive experience: Good variety of aquatic species, nice staff. A bit pricey and cleanliness could be improved, there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders around the glass.

Fantastic experience: What a great place! Spent couple hours here and worth every penny. Lots to see and a variety of animals etc. All the staff talks were very informative. Recommended!!

Negative experience: Tickets are such a rip-off, please don't waste your money here. They have advertised about having sharks, that's the reason we visited expecting to see a big shark tank but in reality they have really small shark species and not even enough numbers. The place is stinky because of meerkats kept indoors. Even penguin pond is stinky and gross to look at. Macduff aquarium is way better for the similar sized ones and a lot cheaper.

Positive experience: Great family experience for us. Lots of great exhibits. Wasn't too crowded, able to walk through without issue. Loved the meerkats which was unexpected at an aquarium but an added bonus. We did expect to see the sharks being fed at 12 but this didn't happen and reason explained by a staff member who then went on to give a really interesting talk about the different kinds of sharks in the tank. Nice wee girt shop too.

Fantastic experience: Went with a 5 year old. He loved it and so did I. We were there for 4 hours ..including lunch at very good and reasonably priced burger place attached to the aquarium. Brilliant day out.

Fantastic experience: Really good to see.perfect for kids and adults Love the meerkats.

Fantastic experience: Amazing day out for all the family. Great family experience with it being a small family run business you appreciate the experience even more. From the dinosaur remains on the way down all the way through to the penguins. Enjoyed all of it.

Positive experience: Really interesting, knowledgeable staff, variety of wildlife but more expensive than I would have anticipated. I get that looking after such a variety of animals well is costly, but expensive entry fees will discourage visitors. We spent an hour on the beach afterwards. It was free and the kids had loads of fun.

Negative experience: There are more land animals then there are aquatic creatures. Only 1 floor to tour. 5/5 for staff 5/5 for free tickets for disabled individuals and one caretaker I wasn't able to see everything in my wheelchair. Just corals, fish, and the monkey. I had to take a side entrance, which is extremely hard to move on if you are manual (luckily I'm electric).

Positive experience: Brilliant afternoon out, only issue we can see is disabled access ♿. A fair chunk of stairs. Other then that would recommend.

Positive experience: The aquarium is visibly dated and quite dirty in places, especially having a toddler present who can reach all the lower areas that are not kept clean. The dome that children (and adults) can put their head in was very dirty especially the floor, our toddler came out with dirty trousers after crawling in as did I. The animals and fish however are well presented and the rooms flow nicely by theme. The gift shop is, as expected, extortionate and unavoidable upon leaving. Overall quite poor worthy of 1 or 2 stars at best, would not visit again, but my little one enjoyed the animals hence 3 stars.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful diversion to our week, we had seen this aquarium being advertised and thought "why not". The Meerkat talk was informative and was a decent length to not make it boring. Its a shame the shark feeding had been cancelled but there was a good reason so am not too disappointed. It's the first live jelly fish I've seen so that was amazing!

Positive experience: I didn't have time to stay and just stopped by the souvenir shop. staff was friendly

Fantastic experience: Great first impression from a public aquarium that is so full of life and such character in the historical town of St. Andrews! It might be a little small compared to previous aquariums I have visited but there is plenty of informative signage at each animal display which can teach you a thing or two if you take your time to read and learn more about the wonderful animals that are kept here. I stuck around to hear the talks on some of the animals by members of the keeping team while the animals were being fed an assortment of foods. I was curious about the behaviours some of the animals around the aquarium were expressing during my visit. However, after speaking to the keepers after their talks and while they were carrying out duties around the aquarium I was reassured many of the behaviours are in fact completely natural but more importantly POSITIVE expressions and interactions with the public. Overall I had a grand old time at this establishment and would encourage anyone to go but also speak to the keepers if you see them at the talks or while they are around the aquarium. They are all so full of knowledge and work with the animals everyday so will have an answer to your questions.

Positive experience: Enjoyed our visit with our granddaughter, but shame the seals aren't there anymore.

Negative experience: This was so depressing to go to. The aquatic part is cool but the other animals shouldn't be there. The snapping turtle tank looks way too small for how big the turtle is. The monkeys look depressed and scared. The meerkats were stressed out in their small enclosure. One of them was pacing back and forth, two of them were yelling for each other over the wood separation wall and another was trying to frantically dig under the separation wall the whole time. I would not recommend coming here. I would recommend there being a staff member that walks around since there were a bunch of kids screaming and banging on the glass at the animals too

Fantastic experience: Great place! We had a great time doing the meerkat feeding experience. Staff were absolutely great, we showed up and made our way around the aquarium a little too early but the staff managed to make the feeding time a little earlier. The feeding experience itself was great despite the meerkats diet being peas and live mealworms The keeper was super knowledgeable and friendly too. Overall great experience!! Only complaint would be the (lack of) parking. We went on a bank holiday weekend so maybe it was just the timing but we spent a fair amount of time trying to find a space. Not really the Aquariums fault but just a warning ⚠️

Negative experience: £15, for something that’s lasts 20 minutes. There were no staff on site to answer any questions or provide guidance. All the tanks and enclosures are tiny, the animals were clearly in distress. Meerkats were pacing back and forward rapidly. The penguins feathers were all plucked from the penguins ripping them out. The animals looked depressed and I left feeling very sad and disappointed that there was no was nobody available to potentially reassure me or inform me.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the family absolutely loved it. Was a really good experience and the staff are A1.. 100% worth the money as you can come in and out as many times true out the day. You see that feeding of the animals and the staff give you an insight about all the animals while they feed them.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience. Went over Easter holidays so a lot of kids, and very busy but it didn’t spoil our trip

Positive experience: Great visit but could be more accessible even just clearer about easiest way in and out for those with mobility issues. So going in at the side there is a ramp for the gift shop and in there a way in to the aquarium there's about 8 steps down to the meerkats and rays and sharks there are some other stairs but going this way the 7 or 8 is the worst. So if you go in the main door to pay you can come back out turn left and there is a ramp down a level to the gift shop or a flight of stairs straight down too. I think for people with issues staff need to direct customers to use the ramp and enter at the gift shop to keep stairs to a minimum. The actual start is down multiple flights of stairs and as we didn't know about the access in the gift shop then it was a struggle. But it was a good visit a lot in there to see and staff talks and feeds are good. I would have given 5 stars but the access really needs highlighting I am sure it could be improved but well worth the visit.

Positive experience: Made a length trip from Peterhead, Aberdeenshire to take my kids to St Andrews Aquarium. It was a good trip and we had fun. The prices were quite fair for what they offered. The animals were absolutely wonderful to see and were of great variety. There's a great selection of fish, sharks and lots of other things. They've got a beautiful gigantic spider, Axolotl were adorable. We couldn't tear ourselves away from the shark tank. The dancing rays and one particular shark who tried jump out the tank were a joy to watch. The venue is full of stairs, it's not really chair accessible. But this is well advertised if you pay attention. The areas are well lit. There's plenty of room. We didn't get over crowded at all. I think there could maybe be a few more seats dotted around the place and maybe have staff walking around to get parents to keep their kids in check. Screaming toddlers, kids with disgusting sticky hands, others trying to get into the Meerkats and others trying to touch the sharks popping up out of the water. As a parent who keeps their kids well behaved, it's extremely frustrating to be around. But not the venue's fault in the slightest. Just bad parenting. The only other negative is the awful parking situation. It took over half an hour to find a parking space locally, which is maybe the only real negative. Can be pretty bad for disabled people who would rather get achy enjoying the venue instead of walking to it.

Fantastic experience: A lovely little look at the world of the sea...and beyond

Fantastic experience: We went on a Tuesday afternoon with our wee boy who is almost 2 years old and he loved it. It was nice and quiet and we went round it all in about 45 mins and for £12 per adult we thought it was worth it. There were plenty of fish for him to look at and plenty of things for his height so he could look straight into the tanks. Its small but definitely worth a visit for an wee hour

Fantastic experience: We love this independent family run aquarium. We live overseas but have family in St Andrews. Whenever we come to visit them we also visit the Aquarium. As our kids get older they get more and more out of a visit and we love the talks and feeding experiences. We’ve also been lucky enough to witness the improvements and changes made over the last 8 years. This time round We were sad to see the damage the recent storms had caused meaning that the seals had been relocated. Hopefully that can all get repaired and we will see the seals back. We enjoyed seeing our other favorites the monkeys and meerkats. It is small but as the day pass allows you to come and go we also spent time down on the beach and came back to listen to some more talks in the afternoon. We are super happy to visit and support a local business.

Fantastic experience: It good family run place with diverse animals and a lot of engagement from staff. Very educational

Fantastic experience: Good with kids. Friendly staff. I'd knock a star off for it being small but there's not that many touristy things to do in st andrews if you don't like golf. And they have penguins. We enjoyed it and managed to fill in a fun couple of hours there. They were very good with telling everyone the feeding schedules and you can leave and return on the same day once you've bought your ticket if you really want to get your moneys worth.

Positive experience: Went here with my wife and daughter (21 months old). My daughter loved it with a great variety of animals and fish (turtles, sharks, Lion fish, seahorses) the day pass was great too as it allowed us to leave for lunch in town and come back in the afternoon. There's a good gift store with a wide variety of toys and books and the staff were all super friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The fish looks so cute and the tanks are really nice. So many other fun animals as well like meercats and penguins. Definitely going back.

Fantastic experience: Great for a day out with the kids! Staff were informative and attentive.

Fantastic experience: Nice little aquarium. Clean facilities, easy to see all the animals, well-written info panels by each tank. Regular animal talks on the seals, penguins, and meerkats. Took a little over an hour to get through including watching 2 talks.

Positive experience: Great place. Not very large, but with a wonderful collection of reptiles, sealife and meerkats (!) it's easy to spend hours here. There's also regular feed times and short information sessions.

Positive experience: Nice place. Excellent for children. Right toilets. The animal collection, not big but in perfect conditions. Gift shop prices are too high.

Fantastic experience: Nice small but clean and tidy aquarium with a good range of exotic sea life, as well as seals, Meerkats and Marmosets. Interesting talk at the seal feeding to learn about the 4 seals there and how they came up have them, and it was great to see the new family of Meerkats with their few week old babies.

Positive experience: Embrace the blue hues and quiet serenity of this lovely aquarium. While relatively small, it is quite dense and comprehensive in its portrayal of ocean life, from large numbers of turtles swimming playfully in a tank to an array of South American penguins cleaning themselves before leaving barking to the stormy gray waters. Because the passageways are relatively narrow, not a lot of people can move through the aquarium at one time, so try to arrive earlier in the day, before it becomes crowded. The price is £15, rather low for an aquarium but not insignificant, especially considering the small size of the aquarium. If you are living in St. Andrews, I highly recommend purchasing the yearly pass, which pays for itself within 3 visits. While not as iconic as the venerable golf courses or the towering stone cathedral ruins, is aquarium is a lovely place to calm if you need a quiet place to unwind from the chaos of life and marvel at the fluid movement of underwater animals.

Fantastic experience: Great little collection ranging from tiny eels to seals and many things in between. A nice little attraction in St. Andrews, especially for the young ones in the family.

Positive experience: A bit over priced for such a small aquarium however overall it was a nice visit, Restaurant was closed so couldn't get a snack other than tea and coffee, Seals and penguins were best part of visit

Fantastic experience: Had an excellent day out to St Andrews aquarium today would recommend a visit if your in St Andrews great for the kids staff are friendly and have excellent knowledge would definitely go back

Positive experience: Our little girl loves it here but I feel £42 for a family of 3 is a little overpriced especially in current climate. Staff helpful and interesting talks scattered throughout the day. It's good that you can come and go throughout the day. We've visited numerous times over the years not sure if we will return next yr.

Positive experience: Fabulous place to visit, although because of the location and age of the building there are lots of stairs to negotiate. Thankfully that wasn't a problem for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit again. Animals all very healthy and clearly well cared- for by friendly and knowledge staff who are always happy to answer any questions. There are also lots of very informative display boards about the animals which help to raise awareness in particular about ocean plastics pollution. This is a great place to bring kids, but please don't complain about the ticket prices - it's an independent family business, not part of a chain, and your ticket is a day pass, so you can come and go as you please all day. Money well spent, in our book!

Fantastic experience: Lovely day out. It's well worth a visit. Lots animals and aquatics to see with knowledgeable, friendly staff
