The Deep Reviews

Very good for the kids the cafe is not too bad for the food and not to bad for the price

Great experience for a Birthday,friendly volunteers and altogether a great experience.

Not the best place to see fish etc, others are better, lot of wasted space on the upper floors. Down to trying to make it look like a ship = failed.

Not a bad spot, lots to see, but I felt it lacked variety

Really enjoy the deep and appreciate the work gone into keeping us safe but not many other guests kept their distance and although lots of staff around cleaning they weren't reminding people of this or giving any facts about the fish which would have been a nice bonus.
Still will visit again. Really enjoyed the one way system and snack area in the entrance worked well.

Great news experience and awesome viewing points! Tip take the stairs at the end!

Quite good. But alot of things were not related to "aquarium". And it was missing some fish you would commonly see and what we wanted to see Inc sea horse

Just ok. Not what i thought looking at pictures.not going again.

Nice place to go with family with a huge variety sea creatures.

What an amazing place for ALL AGES. Our 1st visit august bank hols ,totally stunning , a real gem, making the most of our free visits for the YEAR!!!!!what a great idea, been again today.restaurant food excellent ,good value. every visit is different. so clean and tidy. aquarium stunning, penguins make you smile.this place has to be visited.Also the two rivers restaurant ,oh gosh it is stunning, we had a 3 course meal last night,words cant describe it, food is excellent,beats many places i have been too the staff ,the atmosphere, will be making this an event each year, this is a true gem, well done to all at THE DEEP.

Been here a couple of times now, a very nice place to look round, some very impressive fish and more.

Compared to the Birmingham one,found it was abit small but my LO enjoyed running around I liked it coz it has a play area for kids.

It was okay however it was so busy to many people were there and the people with push chairs were taking to much space but all together ot was good for a rainy day

Both my one year old and my five year old loved it. A fantastic way to spend a day.

Well laid out, enjoyable walk around the water world we live on

Kid's loved it & was very educational. Unfortunately not much to do other than walk in from one side and walk out the other!

Would have been good if all the participatory games had been in working order

Very beautiful place to visit and enjoy with your family

Place was pretty good lots to see kids really enjoyed it. Only bad thing was that you have to pay for parking.

Brilliant place. I've not been for years and it keeps improving. We stroked a starfish and watched sharks being fed.

Best aquarium in the North, just don't eat the food.

Very good afternoon out, kids and adults loved all of the interactive displays, I would also say it is better than the sea life centres I've visited

Fantastic day out, plenty to see for all ages. Food court was reasonably priced and had great views out across the river.

Lovely aquarium, with very friendly staff and some amazing animals.

It's a great place for kids and adults and our ticket was valid for a year so you can go back again for free. Car parking isn't free so take some coins. We don't like the cafe so much and tend to take a packed lunch.

Wonderful, informative, great for inquisitive kids.

I visited Hull the past summer and the Deep. It was incredible and I'm glad with their conservation projects.

Fantastic place. My disabled daughter loves it. Excellent adult disabled facilities. Staff are very friendly and really helpful

Always great, family ticket can be used again and again within the year of purchase.

Love this place.. great information and the guides are willing to help answer any questions without hesitation. Had to be cut short however planning to go back soon as the tickets are valid for a year.. definitely worth the money and the time to visit

Great place to visit for all ages, great for family's as you pay once and can return for free for a year. The tanks and fish are great and my children always enjoy the food at the end.

Pricey but really interesting. Would be absolutely perfect if there would be more of aquariums where one can walk under or through.
Informative and lovely made exhibition.

Fantastic afternoon out. Great for even little kids

Brilliant, great value for money, kept 3yr old grandson happy for over 2 hrs

Another great visit. Don't forget to book online to get a saving.

Really good family day out. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
The year returns make this good value for money.

Great for what we saw but some exhibitions weren't open....the only other down side was that the one fish my 3 year old wanted to see was a clown fish, and couldn't find it anywhere. The food was lovely and more reasonably priced then I imagined. But it was very busy (during school half term) and not sure this place is well enough equipped for the busy periods....not enough space to get by people.

Long queues on weekends. Great place for practising photography.

A fantastic place to visit! The price is fair, and the aquarium clean, plus you can go back to this aquarium throughout the year- whenever you want!!

Good visit made excellent by Halloween pirate Joanna.

Was very good and seems to be quite informative. Good for children - only downside is the parking.

Great day out. Easy to find & park. I use a mobility scooter & they have a dedicated disabled entrance/desk & easy to manoevre everywhere. Staff friendly, helpful and informative. The displays were all great including penguins, sharks, giant turtles & rays, clownfish, seahorses & lots more. Highlight was the glass scenic lift which went up through the shark tank. Lovely day out. Would definitely go again.

Pay once then unlimited returns throughout the year

It may seem a bit pricy for 2-3 hours which is how long it took us to go around but you can return as many times in a 12 month period as you like. Thoroughly enjoyed the talks and handling the starfish. The kids loved it! My only criticism is the food in the diner. Fish and chips was shop bought frozen Fish! The sea is just there guys!!!

Took my granddaughter at 4 years old and my wife and 2 daughters we loved it

Best place to have fun exploring all kind of species of fishes and other insects/animals.

Great place. Some of the apparatuses were faulty but it didn't affect the experience. Definitely worth a visit.

Book on line as its cheaper then paying on the day plus your tickets last for 12 months, so you can visit many times as you like. Kids will love it, well worth a visit.

Great educational experience and fun day out for children at a reasonable price.

Great aquarium to visit. great place for the whole family. A lot of 'hands on' experiences, from diving shows, to feeding shows as well as playing some documentaries. The Aquarium is rich with animal life, lots of different types of animals. half way between your visit there is a nice little cafe to have a snack. At the end there is a 'Play area' for your children as well as a few aquatic themed games to play. the gift shop is a nice way to end your visit, it is full of soft toys, snow globes, T-shirts as well as other things. a great place to take the family to for a day out. Yet it does get very busy at certain times, it is great for locals as well as people visiting from around the country. 5/5 stars. Fun and educational

Brilliant morning out at The Deep, we took our little one (18 months) and she loved toddling around looking at all the fish and touchy felt bits. Really reasonably priced and more more to see and learn than your usual sealife centre. It's called The Deep for a reason, is main tank is enormous!!! Brilliant day out for all, the main highlight being the lift ride through the large tank at the end.

Great day out. And great for kids. Free to come back for a year once you've bought ya ticket!

Great place to tale children and adults... one of Hulls great tourist venues.

Had a lovely time, staff were helpful and polite. The reason I didn't give five stars is, lots of the interactive activities were broken.

Staff friendly and helpful smaller than I thought it would be still everyone had a great time

It is not too great, I was hoping for something much bigger, a lot of it is putting off pictures, films or some interactive presentations. Maybe it is fun but for school-age children, my toddler (3 years) was unfortunately not interested, so our visit lasted about an hour only.
Sharks are also so much that only the tiny, the biggest that they have is probably a shark saw.

Excellent day out for everyone. You pay once and can get a year's pass for the price. Very wheelchair friendly, with nice staff.
