Give it a miss and go to Chester Zoo or Knowlsley Safari park insead. Despite two-thirds of our planet being covered by water, the oceans and many of their inhabitants remain an unexplored mystery.
The shark tunnel is the aquarium's only real attraction and I don't think it's worth £15 per adult to see it. I think the whole place could be so much better, better and more interactive displays, more information about the fish, more things for children to engage with. Oh and of course have your picture taken in front of some dodgy "deep sea" background as a memento of your day, ready for you for when you leave, just £14!!! (obviously we didn't partake in any of the above mentioned, but there were plenty of guilible people who were) If you take a picnic, pray for a nice day as there is no indoor seating area where you can eat your own food. Vending machines, gumball machines, duck food machines (£1 for a handful), machines with prize capsules (£1). Everywhere you turn there is another machine to put money in. It is led by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in the UK. Displays are poor, very little information about the fish in the tanks, and very dark so you probably wouldn't be able to read them anyway.
3 hours and that included having a snack in the cafe (another £30) and going round the shark tunnel five times. Our fish grow up in our ecosystem that is designed to work with. (3 adults, 2 kids) For that price I would expect to be able to make a day of it, but no. Blue Planet Ecosystems Healthy Food, Sustainability and Animal Welfare are not a compromise. Booked online to save some money, but still paid £58 for a group of 5 people.
