Visited with the family this weekend just gone. Had concerns about Covid, but they've really gone above and beyond in making the place as safe as can be with regular sanitising of common touch surfaces. Having to wear a mask all the way round was a small price to pay though.

What an experience. I loved every minute of my visit here, there's aquatic life of all kinds for you to gawp at, and it's clear that the people who work with them every day are enthusiastic about their work. It was wonderful to see so many different species in well looked after displays, and there was a lot to learn for both young and old.

My absolute highlight was the rays gliding around one of the main tanks. It's a shame that the touch pools were closed, but all the more reason to go back in future. Well worth a visit if you're in the area, and worth a detour even if you're not. Highly recommended.
