Review of National Marine Aquarium

We go regularly when we visit Plymouth, there's so much to see and our two young children love it. Toddlers can easily walk round although I found that reigns were I good idea to stop them running off in excitement to the next section. Buggy friendly on the way round but there's only 1 little lift at to take you to the starting point so important to bare that in mind when visiting during busy periods such as half term and the summer. We didn't get to listen to any talks in our most recent visit but they were feeding the starfish when we arrived which was fascinating. There's a cafe and plenty of places to sit and have a little munch if want to take a break. Toilets as dotted throughout the different sections as well as the ones in the cafe (the cafe has baby changing facilities available).

Please bare in mind that the footbridge is currently closed due to a fault which PCC and Sutton harbour are in dispute about who should fix so could be out of action for the long term. However there is a nice walk along the harbour which takes approx 20mins (children depending) into the Barbican which is worth visiting. On a nice day it's a really pleasant walk.
