Its okay. A little cramped but a good selection to see and learn about. Kids always enjoy it. You can work out the best tickets on their website online if there's a large group - works out cheaper if you buy in advance. There's no parking for it but there's paid parking not far from it. You can leave you buggy upstairs and there is a lift and toilets. The gift shop like most is on the pricey side but good collection of gifts etc.

Good value for money. The park is fairly small although we went round 4 times in total as there is always something you miss the 1st time. All sorts of different aquatic animals to see. Nice and clean with very friendly staff.

Great attraction to have right by the pier. It's not like the big sealife centres but still has plenty to offer. Doesn't take long to go around so don't plan a full day here. You can tell that a lot of care goes into looking after the animals. All the tanks are sparkling clean and the creatures are bright and active. The otters were a highlight for us. It was packed and very hot with lots of people struggling with baby buggies. There are places to park them but obviously it's not 100% secure. It's perfect for young kids and family tickets are good value.

My sister in law recommended me this place. And was the best decision to visit. Of course the tickets 🎫 a pricey but is worth. The place is clean and organised. Has a large variety of 🐠 👍 From outside the building appears small bunt inside of the aquarium is big. 🐬 dolphins were cherry from the top. They were friendly and playful. The tunnel was amazing experience for my son. We really enjoyed the visit. Recommend for everyone, specially for families with children ❤️

Visited here on a rather wet Thursday! It was busy, which we expected due to the weather and how this is an indoor attraction. We found staff to be very helpful. Tickets were reasonably priced, and we were served quickly. They accepted diagnosis letter for disability discount, carers, and a student card for me as I'm studying. We opted to go for lunch first as it was just after 12. We had 2 lots of chips as well as fish and chips. The fish was rather well cooked, but the texture inside wasn't pleasant. Sane for all three chips. However, it was busy, and it was understandable. Went on to see the attractions. Lots of varieties of fish as well as penguins, sharks, stingrays, and so much more. The signage was clear, and we could find our way around, ensuring we didn't miss any part. My daughter loved each part, especially the tunnel, and spoke lots about it when we got home. Another plus point is that you can reenter all day once you have your tickets, which we found helpful when we needed to step outside for some quiet time. We will definitely visit again :)
