The only aspect of this attraction lacking (and so resulting in 4-stars not 5-stars) was the catering facilities. The exhibition areas themselves are creatively put together and well thought out. The panoramic seating area for the main tank (housing Hammerhead Shark and Manta Rays, amongst a handful of other sharks and over 20,000 species in total) is phenomenal, relaxing and calming - whilst the option to view 'above the tank'/'behind the scenes' free-of-charge is also most welcome.

The small 'touch-tank' display is a unique addition, as it allows the option to stroke/touch stingrays and numerous other fish that swim past - whereas UK attractions have removed rays and replaced with rock pools. Unfortunately, this display doesn't provide hand cleaning facilities - there is a small hand basin next to the nearby play area, but no soap provided.



There is a dedicated nearby multi storey car park, with pay machines located within the exit area of the aquarium. This car park was closed during our visit, and we parked on the (even closer) sea-front car park - this was free, but I was advised would be a pay car park during the summer.
