The Deep Review

Excellent value for money when you can keep going for rest of year on same tickets.

A fantastic aquarium especially great for children with an array of interactive options for them throughout. Includes many different fish including sharks as well as penguins.

This is an amazing place to visit. It isn't just about looking at fish and penguins is very educational too. Your tickets usually get converted to an annual pass which means you can go back multiple times.

So much for the kids to do. A family friendly place with a well-informed staff. The Jellyfish exhibition was a favourite of mine. Other highlights include the large open tank at the beginning of the live exhibits and the Penguin habitat. The young lady we spoke to knew all their names. I'll be back. I'm keen to see the new Penguin babies once they're hatched.

Bit disappointed to find half of it closed due to 'an incident ' Thought they should have told us on the way in. Sure we have a pass and can go back anytime but it was my daughter birthday

Excellent place for a visit. Great exhibits and plenty of interesting fish in the tanks plus new to me were the turtles. Good food from the cafe also.

Wonderful place for kids . Different exhibits streched across 3 floors even when it's busy. Food in cafe very good and fairly priced

Really informative and relaxed with lots of Interactive activities for Adults and Children alike. Can't wait to go back and experience the Two Rivers Restaurant!

Oh and I almost forgot the fact it's Great Value too as the admission we took allows you to return as often as you like over the next twelve months - it would definitely be rude not to since I'm now in Hull

Really long que to get In on a Sunday unhappy kids before we got in. Grumpy staff (guessing as it was so busy) it was absolutely rammed couldn't get my child close to anything as there was so many people there so basically paid to walk around when we could get close the marine life was fabulous but don't feel like value for money will not be coming again

Great for about 2-3 hours. Dont rush going around. Free revisit for 12 months is well worth it

A nice place, but is a little disappointing, doesn't take long to get round, spent almost half an hour queuing to use the lift to leave.

Went on a coach tour there. Its good but when busy its hard to view some things. Doesnt take long to go round. Nice food in the restaurant

Great day out - the big tanks are amazing! Can sometimes be a bit crowded, and the queues to get in are often long (and cold, when it's out the door: you're in hull!) but a great attraction.

An excellent well set out place which appeals to people of all ages

Its nice to see different kinds of fish but we was in and around in an hour and half and that was with waiting to see each tank with people hogging it for the money spent i wouldnt go again

My sons love this place, now I can go all year for free! So much to see and mesmerised the kids, cafe at the end too!

Wonderful place, far more than I expected. It starts off with a history of life on earth with a time trail and different interactive stations. Then there are the fish tanks, 2 main ones with a coral reef environment and then one with the More

The Deep is superb. Was very busy when we went on a Saturday in March, was very windy off the Estuary too but queue went down quickly. Lots to see and the kids loved it. Plus you can go back again for up to a year on your pass

Pay for a ticket and it lasts all year so can visit the deep as many times as you like.

Kids will love it there. Staff really friendly

We really enjoyed it today my 18 month old son loved it so much to see. The only thing that spoiled it was the fact that I was ill and was sick on the way out. The staff were really nice and helpful brought me water and a sick bucket then let us out through emergency exit so we didn't have to queue with buggy. Thanks again

Very lovely place full of interesting creatures and staff very helpful

Absolutely fantastic place to visit. I had my 19mth old & we spent 3.5hrs here without him getting bored. We also got a free annual pass included in the entrance fee so brilliant value too as we'll definitely be back.

Not enough to do in terms of activities but the animals were amazing

Best aquarium we have visited! Kids loved it! Great value!

Great place. Got the season ticket upgrade too so can go back as many times as we want in the year.

Enjoyed this place for the hole hour and a half it lasted. My son especially enjoyed being able to touch some of the animals.
Could do with a big indoor play area or something just to make it last a bit longer and kids get bored of looking at fish

Friendly staff quick service and a reasonable price

Loved deep Aquarium, you can upgrade to annual pass as well.

After visiting the Ozeaneum in Stralsund last October, the scope of the exhibition at The Deep was rather thin. It was also terribly loud.

Pleasant staff and informative. Nice pleasant surroundings. Plenty of activities for children. Aquarium tanks with the turtles was my favourite.

The Deep is a welcome space for everyone. Young or old and is disable friendly. As aquariums go, The Deep is one of the biggest. The main tank is three stories high and you have multiple viewing points at different depths allowing views of the fish which prefer different levels. There is also a large range if fish, from leopard and nurse sharks to angel fish and turtles. Yes, I know turtles aren't fish but you get the idea. The venue also has rooms that can be used for education and on this score, as you would expect, The Deep is highly educational. It doesn't shy away from tackling the difficult issues of plastic pollution or sustainable fishing either. Oh, and they have penguins too! All in all, its well worth a visit. Though I'm biased, I live in Hull and will promote it at every opportunity. Having said that, I visit The Deep at every opportunity I get. Their pay once and visit as often as you want within a year free (except key dates such as Bank Holidays) is a real bonus. There's nothing more than spending a few hours relaxing watching the fish.

Pretty good place plenty to look at and lots of stuff to do

A great place to take the kids. It won't fill up a whole day as the kids don't want to read about everything but the couple of hours we did spend there was brilliant.

Busy, busy place... Interesting displays, a lot to take in on one visit. Fortunately the admission includes as many visits as you want to make for a whole year...

Simply the best aquarium that I've been to ever. For me I think the work that goes on here speaks for it self.

Staff are so helpful the cafe next to the enterance serves very good food at a great price. All in all wonderful place to visit

Lots of different fish to see and beautiful tanks full of sharks ect was really taken back with the shows that the staff put on feeding the fish live in the super deep tank

A very attractive tourist destination. They are worth visiting, hard to miss.

Nice day out with my parents . Felt sorry for the large fish with not much movement space. Cafe was the smallest portion I gave ever seen and cost me 5 pounds. For veg and potatoes, smaller than a child portion. I am vegan and didnt see any vegan option. I will take my own food next time.

Very good value for money,the free upgrade for the year is definitely a inspiration,kids and grown ups enjoyed the day out,only peeve is that you get charged for 6 hours but you don't spend that much time there.

Good value for money with reasonable parking and great attractions

There were lots of infirmation boards missing, the ant colony was fantastic but easily missed.

It was an amazing experience, and the fact that you can visit all year round on 1 ticket makes it a bargain

Not been anywhere with the family during the pandemic and chose the deep with it being indoors and wheelchair accessible but mainly due to have timed arrival slots made it avoid any overcrowding. The kids loved it and suitable for all ages. Staff were very polite and helpful. Would highly recommend

Best sea life centre I've been to, very big lots to see!

Great day out with the kids. Yearly pass is good too

It's ok but to be honest I expected more. They offer free returns...Yes free returns for all year so you can go as often as you want for free but how many times would you want to go again. Ok for children.

Amazing place my son loves it penguins are his favourtite

Amazing! There is a lot of interactivtivity. And so many daily things going on that you'll always find something entertaining! The range of aquarium (and non aquarium) life here is just amazing. Way better than a sea life center. The tickets are well priced - around 11-15 pounds, and a year long entry. The gift shop here is huge- with a wide variety of items available to purchase!

Fantastic plaxe not cheap but if you sace your ticket you can go again anytime that same year

Drove for nearly two hours on a wet and soggy Sunday to see this place with my wife and teenage daughter (who needed photos of the marine life on show to help with her A - levels) It didn't disappoint. Glad we arrived early as parking was no problem at 10.00am and was right outside the main entrance. So much to see here... Rays, sharks, turtles, frogs, penguins and fish of all shapes and sizes! Recommended!

Fun for all. Good educational visit. Plus tickets last for 12 months.

Well worth the visit.
This sea aquarium is different from all the rest as it explores the history or our planet and the oceans. All the exhibits are easy for all the family to understand.
There is access for disabled users. Parking is easy and affordable.
Staff are all friendly and helpful and the food facilities are good.
Using our annual pass we have been a couple of times now and really enjoyed it.
It's rare for me to score any venue so highly but we think the Deep really deserves 5 stars especially as a charitable organisation.

Fantastic place to visit, cant wait till my lad is older so we can spend more time here. Great value if you get the yearly pass, you can visit as often as you like and it only costs a couple of extra quid. Does get very busy in school holidays and rainy days like any indoor venue. well worth a trip.

Bit overpriced and you can easily go round it "to quick" was also annoyed as the cafe doesn't have any still drinks in the soft drinks fridge; fizzy or water!!

Very clean however and you can tell the staff work very hard to fulfill the best experience. For me and my family however it was a lot of hype, with minimal pleasure.
