Acuario de Bristol

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely place, great fish and underwater creatures. I find it relaxing watching the fish.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic

Experiencia negativa: I wish I could give ZERO star. This aquarium is an abomination. Completely unethical treatment and environment for the fish. All tanks EXTREMELY small. Some large fish literally only had one small area they could swim in. Fishes visibly distressed, floating on the bottom with heads down staring at plastic floor. The atmosphere in this place is very foreboding, staring into the cages of these intelligent beautiful creatures that have been ripped away from their home, denied sunlight, movement, an ever changing environment with stimulus makes me disgusted in humans treatment of our planets gifts. Do not pay money consume animal cruelty.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved a slow walk round seeing all the sea creatures. Good wheelchair access. Plenty of toilets kept very clean. There is a cafe but never used it. Prices in the gift shop were ok, good choice of things to pick from.

Experiencia positiva: Busy and to meny kids.

Experiencia negativa: Went here today and it was okay, that’s all I have to say about it. It takes under an hour to walk through the entire thing. Wouldn’t recommend it to anybody for a family day out, first time visiting today and our last. I would highly recommend Plymouth aquarium if you’re looking to experience one, they have a shark tank!! £45 for two adults for what they offer is so ridiculous. Such a waste of money.

Experiencia negativa: I could not believe the level of neglect I observed here. There are several unmaintained tanks and animals. Some of the displays looked well-maintained but many were shocking. Some of the small freshwater tanks were covered in blue and hair algae. In the saltwater tanks I saw fish with extensive lateral line disease and fin rot. Also many fish displaying unhealthy behavior such as fin clenching and repetitive pacing. Some were overrun with aptasia and algae. This could only come from extensive, long-term neglect. I had a horrible time seeing these poor animals suffer when they should clearly be in hospital tanks. Bristol Aquarium should be ashamed to be displaying these sick animals.

Experiencia positiva: Good family day out. Go slow as it's quite a short experience. Expensive for what it is really £70 for a family of 4 takes about 2 hours at a push.

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out they offer talks and feeling times for a range of fish. Plenty of parking options in multi storey car parks, good for families. No need to book to go here just buy tickets online and go whenever. On th3 day you go you have access all day so can keep going in and out as you please just show tickets.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a weekday visit. Not too busy. There were loads of amazing creatures to see, and clean, beautifully kept enclosures. Had a lovely time.

Experiencia fantástica: This one was a blast. I did nit wsnt it to end . The big tsnk is absolutelly great. I spent hours taping the glass and say , fishy fishy fish but mostly i got ignore even some of them gave me the eye. Im sure one of them said dance monkey, dance. Niw, get your childrens grandads and the whole bunch and get there, c'mon chop chop

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent great variety of exhibits and talks by the staff .the vr experienced is very good ease of access great parking near the aquarium highly recommend a visit

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out with the family, lots to see and do

Experiencia negativa: Totally not worth it , the pricing is ridiculous you can go around in 20 minutes wouldn't recommend tickets should be 5 quid not 23£

Experiencia fantástica: Great little Aquarium, plenty see and ideal for young children.

Experiencia positiva: Nice place for children. I hope if tickets fees to be reviewed as they’re pricey

Experiencia fantástica: All of our family loved the experience. Very clean, lots of information and huge selection of displays and fish!

Experiencia positiva: Lovely place with friendly staff. So much to learn, small but resourceful . Plenty of variety to see and observe. Cafe and souvenir available .

Experiencia positiva: Had a really good experience at the Aquarium. The displays and layout is very well done and the stamp collection card for the younger ones is a good touch too...... Its also really good that the ticket is valid all day, so you can come and go multiple times

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful place to be

Experiencia fantástica: You can kiss a fish and the fish kisses back, what more can you ask for?

Experiencia fantástica: Very relaxing and very amiable staff.

Experiencia positiva: The Bristol Aquarium was small but had a good pair of large tanks with interesting fish seen in different perspectives and many smaller tanks. I loved seeing the local aquatic life. They also emphasize plant species, both in the tank and older plant species from Jurassic on the walk around the aquarium.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent aquarium

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic visit with the grand kids, entertaining and educational

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant day out... the VR experience was truly out of this world. Try and get there for feeding time in the main tank area...really interesting talk from the people doing the feeding. Will definitely be back .

Experiencia positiva: Had a good time at the aquarium! It wasn't too crowded (except at the Octopus talk - which was otherwise fab!) and there was many interesting fish and underwater creatures. However, I have been to better and bigger aquariums, so about £42 for two adults felt a little steep for about 1.5h - we went slow and took our time looking at all the fish.

Experiencia negativa: Kieran

Experiencia positiva: Good aquarium with a variety of different areas to wonder through and enjoy. Perfect for kids/families however tickets are expensive for what it is.

Experiencia fantástica: My grandsons first birthday.... lovely for him to see the fish. Very accessible with pushchair....been before but I love aquariums.

Experiencia fantástica: Very quiet weekday at around 11am with our toddler. No queue. Great that you're able to leave and re-enter which meant we could walk round, leave for lunch and return to watch some of the feedings on the schedule. A great variety of sea life and the largest "tank" was absolutely stunning, I could have spent a whole afternoon watching that one alone. Gift shop is pricey but I think we've all come to expect that these days. Short, simple walk from Temple Meads station.

Experiencia positiva: Lovely place to see sea creatures

Experiencia positiva: Weekend away with my partner and we decided to get tickets online on the day as it was raining. There was no queue to get in. A really nice perk was that you could visit numerous times throughout the day. After our first walk around we decided to have lunch at a near by restaurant and then go around a 2nd time. For me the first time was all about the information and looking but it was busy with younger children (as expected but a bit loud). The 2nd time around later in the afternoon and it was very quiet and relaxed. Not an all day event but really nice.

Experiencia fantástica: So many great talks and a lovely trip out! Nice and calm during the day, makes for a lovely wander.

Experiencia fantástica: I love it here! I used to have a yearly pass and would visit every week. The glass tunnel is beautiful and I’m a huge Sheila fan (see photo). There is a good range of species and they all seem happy and well cared for.

Experiencia negativa: For a business linked to nature and conservation of wildlife, the amount of plastic packaging and items on sale was quite shocking. Can you consider more sustainable catering and packaging options?

Experiencia positiva: It was nice trip, but place is very small, not worth yhe pricd of tickets.

Experiencia positiva: Was smaller then thought but there was still a lot to look at. Helpful how you can leave and enter on the same ticket so great if children get restless. Talks throughout the day were engaging and allowed to q&a. Very informative. We went for my son’s 1st birthday and was a good couple of hours out.

Experiencia fantástica: Had an amazing day out here!The staff were well informed and gave great talks about all the different creatures! The octopus talk was our favourite. They had so so many amazing fish and other animals, I just can’t recommend enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent facility with Wheelchair access. Cafe on site with a small shop with reasonable prices. Facilities were clean and easy to access. A variety of animals and they seem to be well looked after.

Experiencia fantástica: What a fantastic day out at Bristol Aquarium! We visited with the kids and they were absolutely mesmerised from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the place had that magical underwater vibe — glowing tanks, colourful fish, and even a giant octopus that stole the show! The underwater tunnel was pure wow — watching rays and sharks glide overhead felt like stepping into another world. The kids were buzzing with excitement, and we loved how educational it was without ever feeling boring. The tropical rainforest zone was a fun surprise too — fish and actual trees in the same space? Amazing! The staff were super friendly, happy to answer questions, and clearly passionate about marine life. It’s the kind of place that sparks curiosity and wonder in both kids and adults. Bristol Aquarium is a gem — fun, interactive, and a great way to spend a few hours as a family. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Experiencia negativa: Paid over £50 for 2 adults and 1 child to walk around for 10 minutes. Price is way too high for what you get. The cafe is what you'd expect, £17.95 for a slice of bread and a whiff of a crisp. Their main attraction was the grouper fish. Stingrays were pretty cool.

Experiencia positiva: A great use of space considering this aquarium is in central Bristol. Tickets are expensive for what the aquarium offers. That being said, my two year old loved her time there.

Experiencia positiva: Initially when you enter you don't really think much, it's a large open building, it looks cheaply thrown together and wasn't very tidy, the inner entrance to the actual attraction was very underwhelming and the cafe was INCREDIBLY over priced. 3.50 for a small bottle of pop prior to going in put a massive down on the whole experience, avoid the cafe and I'd probably give 4 stars. Once you get inside and start to see the difference tanks with different species in you soon realise that a vast majority are local to our beaches, which makes sense and the conditions are easier to meet, there were some more exotic species, but not to the extent of other aquariums I have visited, but don't let that take anything away from the experience, they have used the space incredibly well and have everything you expect from an aquarium, and a few things you wouldn't, the tropics area was more of a plant tour which was refreshing, and in several places there are model dinosaurs, which made me wonder was this originally a dinosaur land attraction or a theme they were going to work on but never finished? We managed to catch one of the feeding sessions and the chap running it was incredibly friendly and spent ages with my children asking questions. The only other thing I can really say is that I only was one fish that I would consider huge, plenty of big ones but they lacked the wow factor. Overall it was a very good trip for the family, and like I said at the start, I would have probably given the place 4 stars if I didn't visit the cafe.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing, fantastic and beautiful ! The staff are very friendly and super informative! We enjoyed the feeding times talks !

Experiencia fantástica: The jellyfish were particularly amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience…definitely going back..

Experiencia positiva: We love aquariums so we had to go it's proberally not the best as it's rather small but it does have talk and feeding shows which was an added bonus oh and I found my new favourite aquatic animal a shrimp the shrimp were VERY interesting

Experiencia positiva: I visited an aquarium recently and had a really pleasant experience. The exhibits were well-organised and featured a good variety of sea life including different kinds of fish, frogs, and other aquatic creatures. Everything was clean and easy to navigate, with clear labels and viewing areas. What stood out to me was that it wasn’t just limited to indoor tanks — there was also a nice outdoor section with greenery, a small waterfall, and plants that added to the relaxing atmosphere. It felt like a good mix of learning and unwinding. Overall, it was a well-maintained and enjoyable place to spend a few hours.

Experiencia fantástica: A lot of cool things to see. Really nice environment, every staff member we spoke to were incredibly lovely and helpful and very informative. Would definitely recommend.

Experiencia positiva: Other than parking, the place is awesome with lot many species of fish. My kids are very happy and content. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.

Experiencia positiva: We took the kids, kids love fish. So they had fun, but this isn't a full day out like some other aquariums. It's very small, didn't even fill up a morning. You can keep going back in, your ticket lasts all day

Experiencia negativa: So expensive... For not many sea creatures! I paid £21 and it only took around 30 mins to go through the whole aquarium. No really big fish, just loads of little ones... Bit underwhelming to be honest!

Experiencia fantástica: We love it here, calming & relaxing. Well informed staff who are willing to share their knowledge.

Experiencia fantástica: It was bank holiday weekend and it even though there was quite a lot of people, it was still easy to see the exhibits/fish - staff were lovely and all of them seemed to love answering my partners neverending questions about sting rays! Definitely recommend to adults even without kids, me and my partner are mid-20s and both still enjoyed it.

Experiencia positiva: Great place to go on a wet bank holiday. It wasn't as busy as expected but plenty of bodies to negotiate. Enjoyed looking at all the different species but would have liked to have spent more time watching. Unfortunately my granddaughter dictated the speed and if she couldn't get in front of people to see properly she moved on to the next tank. Definitely worth another visit.

Experiencia positiva: Was good but extremely small. I thought for what it was it was a lot of money to pay. The kids enjoyed it but we're a bit disappointed on the size... I wouldn't rush back.

Experiencia fantástica: The place is absolutely gorgeous, there are many things to see and designated places for pictures. The staff was super friendly and we tried the VR and I recommend it 100% it is a wonderful experience

Experiencia positiva: A minor flaw is the standard "exit through the gift shop" which becomes yet another lesson I don't want in how to manage pester power from my kids... Great exhibits although lighting a bit dark in a few areas makes reading a bit tricky for my middle-age eyes. Nice contrast between spaces, and absolutely brilliant staff who are knowledgeable, friendly and approachable.

Experiencia fantástica: Went with my 2 year old and her nanna and pops. We all loved it! My 2 year old sepnt ages watching the big fish and the turtles. Definitely recommend

Experiencia positiva: Great aquarium for kids. Was lovely to go on an inset day as it was quieter. Easy to find and suitable for walking with buggies. It is brilliant you could reuse your tickets again and go in a second or third time

Experiencia fantástica: Such a brilliant place to take kids; after school - on the weekend - during public holiday - anytime! Everything is well looked after, beautiful plants, huge range of fish and sea creatures to see. Absolutely amazing experience! Reasonably priced too.

Experiencia positiva: Amazing aquarium, food options are not amazing and close early. Amazing place

Experiencia fantástica: Always a good way to spend a few hours wondering around with toddlers. Usually quite quiet during the week and not being rushed through so others can see the exhibits etc. Enough to see to spend around 2 hours there plus time in the cafe. Could spend longer if you take in the various talks and feeds spread across the day. Pricing is OK considering the London Aquarium, while obviously much bigger, is £30pp with horrendous queues daily. Cafe is perhaps a little overpriced on some things so we take food for the kids but buy a sandwich there for ourselves.

Experiencia positiva: The kids really enjoyed it, and there were plenty of different fish to see. I feel the price of admission is too dear for what’s in there. Wasn’t expecting to see a dinosaur part so that was a nice surprise.

Experiencia fantástica: Had one of the best days in the aquarium. I enjoyed a lot. Because I love seeing fish very much. I spent 3-4 hours. Nice scenary to recharge your soul, mind .

Experiencia positiva: It was somewhere I have wanted to go for a while. I think it's a bit over priced but I guess it cost a lot to maintain. We got around it in just over an hour and that was reading all the info and spotting all the sea creatures. It is very educational and fab for kids. It was like being able to snorkel without breathing equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: A good day out and stay as long as you like. I thought it was a little pricey at first, but they do have a lot of sea life and they are well looked after. The staff were very welcoming and happy to chat about the animals.

Experiencia fantástica: I have always loved going to this aquarium ever since i was young, and I'm glad its still amazing and not just the nostalgia talking! The tanks were all well looked after, and the sheer number of different species and types of animals was very interesting to see! was slightly sad at the lack of jellyfish, but when we asked we were told that they would have moon jellyfish and sea nettles in the coming weeks. The talks were interesting and it was very clear that they take good care of their animals, with supplements like calcium powder for their reptiles. the gift shop was mostly a good price in my opinion, the plushies were quite expensive but where are they not? the food was slightly overpriced, at around 8 pounds for a toastie, but the wedges were good for only around 3! overall id definitely be going again!

Experiencia fantástica: Who'd have thought there was somewhere so beautiful in Bristol . Whan an amazing place. Defo recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: First time here. Really enjoyed it. Not cheap but worth the money. Lots of varieties of fish to see. Tickets lasts you all day if you leave an come back. Tea cake in the cafe was nice. Helpful staff.

Experiencia positiva: Bristol Aquarium is really nice to walk around with the semi-outdoor areas and some good displays. The animals seem well cared for. However the place is quite expensive for what you get, it doesn’t take much more than an hour or two to go around.

Experiencia negativa: I very rarely leave a negative/neutral review but we were left disappointed following a recent visit. Given the cost of entry I was expecting far more. Two adults and two children (14 years old) cost over £80! We were hoping to spend a couple of hours at the aquarium but it’s a struggle to spend more than an hour there. I appreciate you can go back around but once you’ve seen it once I don’t see much point. On a positive note I will say that what is there is good and everything was well maintained and all the fish look healthy. If the cost of admission was half of what we paid then maybe my rating would better reflect my experience but left feeling like I had been ripped off which is disappointing!

Experiencia positiva: Very small, can go round in 20 mins, but you get access to the centre all day It's very expensive for what's there. It's worth getting an annual pass as within 3 visits it's paid off. Would be good to have some more interactive things, like a supervised touch pool, more activities to do as you go around. It would also be good if 'we the curious' and the aquarium did a joint pass, so you could visit both centres with one ticket. We have an annual pass, so we don't have to queue.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a nice experience chance to see lot of different fish and crustaceans

Experiencia positiva: Perfectly passable if a bit disappointing. I recognize that I'm a bit spoiled for aquarium visits but the Bristol Aquarium feels more like a small private collection and herbarium. There are 7 themed "zones" which cover different biomes and have related fish to each zone. It's nice to see labelled plants and relevant signage, but the fish experience is somewhat lacking. There's about 3 large tanks which are viewable from different angles depending which room you're in, but they are somewhat sparsely populated. The smaller tanks are also limited on population. They do have wonderful staff giving insightful and detailed talks about the fish. These talks happen all over the space throughout the day. It's good for families with small children but is lacking in substance for a £24 experience. My highlight was the huge fish (pictured) in the final tank. More of that please!

Experiencia fantástica: Had a fab day at the aquarium, the only downside for us having to go through the shop to get to the toilets, as my son has a neurological condition he found it too overwhelming each time going through the shop to get to the toilets. But the aquarium as a whole was fab.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing. The best part was the man with the long blonde hair doing the talk about the fish. Very engaging! Inspirational and educational talk. He really cares about the fish and their wellbeing and also the customers.

Experiencia fantástica: Visited this delightful little Aquarium over the February Half Term. We pre-booked tickets using our Days Out + membership to take advantage of the kids go free offer they were running. We paid £43.50 for 2 adults and 2 children. We didn't have to book a time slot, we were just able to turn up when we wanted. As it was Half Term we were expecting it to be busy (especially as it was a Monday and many of the attractions in Bristol seem to be closed on a Monday!), but there was only a small queue to get in and the staff were dealing with it efficiently. Tickets were a QR code on my phone,which was scanned, and then we were given info about talks that were on throughout the day. We were also informed that your ticket allows you to come and go from the Aquarium as many times as you'd like for the whole day, this was a really great touch as it meant we didn't have to hang around for talks,we could leave and pop back later for them. So the Aquarium is small. Even with it being fairly busy we got round everything in about 90 minutes. The exhibits were all very clean and well maintained, and there was a good selection of fish and sea life to see. My youngest child is fish mad so he absolutely loved sitting watching the fish, and taking photos and videos. The talks we saw were informative and the staff were very friendly when answering questions. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and would definitely recommend it, especially if you have little ones (or even slightly bigger ones) who love fish! My son has already requested a return visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out for all ages my suggestion is get there early and then you can see more

Experiencia fantástica: had the best Valentines night out at the Bristol Aquarium!! there are such diverse creatures and so so much to learn, the staff did an excellent job making it super enjoyable for adults too and all the animals were well kept and stunningly healthy

Experiencia positiva: Overpriced for such a small aquarium that attracts alot of visitors , some interesting fish but expected a lot more , its pretty much the same two tanks just from different angles, with smaller tanks dotted about. The themes was good and it is enjoyable , I would recommend. However , absoloutley breaks me when places offer student discount but not military.... Nice one. Also crap gift shop.

Experiencia fantástica: Support events at iconic buildings! This has a huge cinema screen with great atmosphere and sound, which is used to host films, events and festivals. Part of keeping it going means cutting back on decisions such as the thermostat settings, so wear an extra layer.

Experiencia positiva: Obviously the place to go if you like all things aquatic. Expensive for the amount of time we spent there but a good visit anyway.

Experiencia positiva: Not a bad little visit about an hour and a half to see everything. Bit of a strange Jurassic theme mid way through but some great scenes and some funky fish to view. Was hoping to see a shark or something like that but there was a chonker right at the end which was nice. £22 for a visit that's not a bad price

Experiencia fantástica: A brilliant day out. There was a really informative, funny member of staff called Aaron who gave a fantastic talk on coral seas in the morning. We learned so many interesting facts and the crowd seemed to love the talk too. We will definitely visit again.

Experiencia positiva: Getting a ticket on the front desk was nice and quick, and daughter enjoyed the aquarium. However I would highly recommend avoiding the cafe. It was freezing cold, and despite being very quiet, service was painfully slow.

Experiencia negativa: Did I miss something? Went back through it twice and honestly don't know what I paid for. Unsure whether the reviews on here are legit... Massively overpriced for what it is. Takes 20 minutes slow walking to get around. From the outside and in, all of it feels so tired and outdated, especially as it's surrounded by places like We The Curious. I kept on expecting something more but there wasn't anything. This place is only kept afloat (ha) it seems by parents of babies with annual memberships, which is better value for money, but I've no idea why you would go a second time, even with a child. There are much better places - free - in Bristol to go to. Don't waste your money. In urgent need of modernisation, a bigger space, more variety of fish and sharks, and most importantly a new, creative vision for it - it felt as depressing as the fish looked.

Experiencia fantástica: What an amazing experience, even as a adult I found every exhibit amazing.

Experiencia fantástica: What a surprise, I really didn't expect to have fun when my daughter booked the tickets, how wrong I was, it's a must visit, you'll have a great time.

Experiencia positiva: A good way to spend a couple of hours. Very accessible, but not as much variety as I was expecting. It was still enjoyable, though, and I liked that there were sections dedicated to rivers and jungle environments, rather than just the oceans.

Experiencia fantástica: Bristol Aquarium Here, you can find a wide variety of marine life, including sharks, clownfish, pufferfish, and many more. The interior is beautifully decorated, making you feel like you're diving into the ocean itself. The highlight here is the All-Day Ticket. This means you can enter and exit the aquarium as many times as you like within the same day. This is very convenient for families with children, as children may want to revisit certain areas multiple times. #TravellingAsACouple

Experiencia positiva: Great little aquarium, only took 25 minutes to walk around with an eager little one, but you can re-enter throughout the day so we walked around twice, lots of sharks on website however we only saw one! But nice little day out for kiddos who don't have a full day outs worth of energy!

Experiencia positiva: Nice small aquarium. We came in time for the octopus feeding and talk and really enjoyed it - the guide was very knowledgeable. However, I do feel it is a bit overpriced.

Experiencia fantástica: Bristol Aquarium is a charming little spot that’s well-decorated and offers a diverse range of aquatic animals to see. One standout feature is Maggie the octopus, an entertaining and fascinating creature that adds a unique touch to the experience. While the aquarium might not be the largest, its cozy appeal and engaging exhibits make it a great choice, especially for families with small children. The admission price is a bit on the higher side, but it’s still a fun and worthwhile outing if you’re looking for something to do on a quiet day. Maggie alone might just make it worth the visit!

Experiencia fantástica: This was such a lovely day out with my family, I have a little one who is 16 months and she loved it here. There are some great displays and you can make this as long or as short as you'd like, we spent around 2 hours there, we did get to see a talk/feeding at the stingray enclosure which was informative and fun. I would suggest maybe looking at what time the talks are on (if it's possible, to time your trip there) Staff are helpful and really friendly, I love the fact that once a ticket is bought you can leave and come back as many times as you want on the day.

Experiencia positiva: Lots of fish! I'm aware that is probably to be expected. The staff do regular talks and are very friendly. The tanks are all large and full of interesting creatures and for the relatively small size of the building there's a lot to see. Gift shop is a little bit naff if you're over the age of 10, but I was mostly there to see the fish Overall I would definitely visit again.

Experiencia fantástica: Bristol Aquarium was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The entire space is immaculately maintained, and the cleanliness of the tanks stood out immediately. Each exhibit was sparkling, allowing us to fully enjoy the vibrant colours of the marine life. It’s clear that the staff take pride in caring for these beautiful creatures and their habitats. The aquarium itself is bright and welcoming, with excellent lighting that really brings the exhibits to life. Every tank is thoughtfully designed to showcase each species' natural beauty, and the whole experience is very interactive, making it especially engaging for kids and adults alike. I’d highly recommend Bristol Aquarium to families, couples, and anyone with a curiosity about the ocean. It’s truly a place that appeals to all ages and makes for a memorable day out!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit, lot to do and see. Slightly expensive but when all said and done well with the price!!!! Best to plan in advance we didn’t buy tickets but can absolutely see why you’d want to

Experiencia positiva: The kids really enjoyed it as they'd not been to an aquarium in such a long time, overall the experience was OK. Gift shop wasn't too overpriced, we came away with a few bits. It was busy but didn't feel crowded at any time. My son was mostly interested in the dinosaur features and the turtles, my daughters favourite was the "unicorn fish". As we went around Halloween, the addition of the carved pumpkins was also very good.
