Review of Lake District Coast Aquarium

We went on the recommendation from someone my part...

We went on the recommendation from someone my partner works with. It's right on the harbour and you can see the lighthouse of Maryport.
The aquarium itself was OK, fish seemed healthy all Bar on leaving little seahorse.
The signs telling you what fish were inside the tanks were need updating. The have become very old, the signage what was once white is now a horrid yellow and some are hard to read.
There are wet floors as soon as you enter, so be careful with little ones or with those who are unsteady on their feet.
Overall the aquarium was..... OK.

Behind the aquarium there is a wooden play area for the children, looks very appealing, even the child within me wanted to go and play, that's would be a definite hit with the kids after the aquarium visit.

At the aquarium there is a opportunity to pay and play crazy golf. My advice? Don't.
The holes are unnumbered and I have never seen one as run down as this one. It is so rundown I'm sure I could make a better one myself and I don't have much DIY experience. There are gaps in the board of the flooring of each hole making it near impossible to attempt getting a hole.
As we also found out, it's not pushchair or pram friendly around the crazy golf and we wasn't advised this either from the staff. Even though they were lovely and polite.
