It's a brilliant place which is impossible to review without sounding like an excited small child.

For example: They have a shark in a big tank with a glass tunnel going through it, that you can walk though and he can't bite you but you can look right at him as he goes by.

They also have a huge tank in front of tiers of seats that is designed to show you the variety of life contained in a cube of seawater lifted out of Plymouth Sound. It changes your perspective when you look at that body of water.

There's lots more there - a play area and cafe, a '4D' theatre (a film with rumbling seats and other effects, like squirts of water) that is popular with the kids.

The heart of the place is lots and lots of tanks containing an incredible variety of sea life large and small.

You can get various tickets, family passes, and concessions and the staff are friendly and efficient.

Whether you go more than once depends on your interest in the exhibits - but it's with a trip, and can awe kids.
