Customer Reviews
Amazing aquarium, one of the best we’ve been to! We did the backstage tour and the boat tour in the Shark tank and both were amazing. Marta the ocean expert was really knowledgeable and answered any questions we had and told us all about the sea turtles they were helping in the animal hospital. Lucy was lovely and told us all about the sharks and fish that they had during the boat trip. Really recommend this aquarium!!
Booked on line for the after 2pm saving, no queue. Stunning living coral displays, have never seen anything like this. Everything well presented, fish and sea creatures all appeared healthy. Loved the octopuses, huge deep tanks with such a variety. Really well set up for children with low viewing areas and cushions, play area and craft room. The whale 3D experience is just 20 minutes, nicely done, very plush seats, simple but awesome. There are outdoor tanks, jungle area, waterfall, unwanted turtles that have been saved, and a nice place to picnic, grab a drink or ice cream in the centre. Took us around 2.5 hours to see everything, we skipped the souvenirs shop, overall it was a really memorable afternoon. Best Aquarium by far we have visited.
Nice clean Park, friendly staff, but a little too expensive. We did the shark boat tour extra to it and also had coffee and cake. For 2 people I spent around €150 for a four hour adventure. But it's still worthwhile to see.
