The Deep Reviews

The aquariums were amazing, couldn't get to any of their shows as it was just ridiculously busy. Which we had to walk around it in half an hour because we couldn't get to anything. Maybe do block booking on time schedules instead of roaming everybody in like sardines excuse the pun

Great place, lots to see and do. Grandsons were totally mesmerised by all the different species of sea creatures. Keep asking to go back ..... Which will be soon

Very busy waiting to get in, but fantastic when you do get in, lots to do. Reasonably priced cafe as well, with really nice food

Never disappoints, very exiting and educational for the whole family

Great place for a rainy day! Book online to save on entry cost.

Okay day out but felt sorry for a few of the animals, especially the penguins...enclosure quite overcrowded and they didn't look very happy, all just stood still. Although, nice to be able to see animals we otherwise wouldn't get to see in their natural habitat.

Great place. Educational and entertaining and very well organised now due to Covid. Sanitiser points everywhere and people keeping distance where possible.

Family visit Gparents, son, 3 grand kids. Nice day out.

Cheap enough and you can visit as many times as you want within a year. Good on rainy days

Incredible experience every time we visit. Take your time as you go around as it's very easy to miss small details.

It's worth asking for the gold membership too as you get free car parking and 10% off everything as well as a years entry.

What is there is good, but I thought there d be more tanks etc. Not quite worth the money.

Interesting place, you can see many different sea specimens. You can meet min. penguins, which are rarely seen.

Europe's largest aquarium. An experience and see didactic for school classes. Good parking right in front of the det hall.

A fantastic day out for the family. Covid-19 is being taken very seriously by the staff; entry is by pre-booked time slot only, all of the staff wear appropriate PPE, entry without a mask is prohibited, toilets are attended and only one family is allowed in at a time, there is a strict one-way system in placeand there are hand sanitisation stations every few feet. In fact, the only people not taking Covid-19 seriously are some of the patrons, but frankly if you need to kick some slack-jawed mouth breather in his tiny, impotent nutsack as a reminder to remove himself from your arsecrack, I'm pretty sure the staff will have your back.

Anyhoo there's plenty of exhibits to see, including interactive ones for the little ones. They have sealife that ranges from full-sized sharks, giant sea turtles and humungous mantarays to tiny shrimp and crabs. The cafe is socially distanced, reasonably priced and good quality; there is also full accessibility for wheelchairs and buggies, plenty of support from the staff and, of course, penguins. Who doesn't love penguins? Apart from Batman, but he's got PTSD and is borderline psychotic, so who cares what he thinks?

100% worth the trip to Hull. Which is a phrase that doesn't get uttered very often.

Very good big .selection of fish. Would definitely go again

Amazing aquarium with great animals and exhibits. Lots of creatures to look at and learn about, making for a great day out.

Amazing place to visit could easily spend hours and more in there! Highly recommended!

Brilliant aquarium. 7 year old and 4 year old both enjoyed it. Well-managed in these new normal times

Lovely, covid-friendly venue for a day out. Enjoyed my trip with my family. Lots of tempting little trinkets at the gift shop too.

Well worth a visit, but a little expensive. The area with the tropical marine fish is amazing as is the area containing the sharks and rays. Penguin area also excellent. Given 4 stars for the admittance price

Absolutely amazing, would recommend going here to anyone

Great day out and you only pay once and can go all year!

A great day out for all of the family, can spend many hours walking around all of the tanks and exhibits and for such a reasonable price too

A great experience for all the family.
Interesting and informative
Food prices were ok
Parking facilities ok
Prices of entry were of average amount

Awesome attraction & an excellent day out, very kid friendly. Highly recommended.

Favourite attraction in Hull. Been many times and always enjoyed it. Keep it up The Deep!

A well planned out attraction and all round good few hours out with the family, only down side would be that a few of the interaction stations do not work.

What an amazing place to get close to sea life. You learn so much and see the fishes and other animals from the ocean up close. The divers who feeds the sharks and other fish are brilliant. The children and adults enjoy every moment! A wonderful day out with lots to see and it does not cost the earth. Well worth it.

Awesome place.. Kids me and my partner highly recommended

A surprising place. I had no idea that such a massive water tank existed. An amazing place for hundreds of fish to live in such a stimulating environment. Another surprise was the collection of beautiful corals, starfish & crustaceans, molluscs etc. A small colony of Gentoo penguins are an added attraction. The educational focus is immense from interactive stations to group talks. This is a great resource for school children of all ages. Highly recommended.

One of my favourite attractions!! The tanks are amazing, offering great views of amazing creatures. Even when incredibly busy it is still easy to get around and see everything. Canteen is good. Real value for money and more so when you add the fact you can revisit as many times as you like in a year for free with your forts entry.

The deep is a magical place it is good for school children my three children adored it and it was a good treat so visit the deep

Good place to see the natural sea life that we all know and love. Me and family love the Deep

Was a very good day out for my grandsons birthday we had a lovely time looking at the amazing fish

Expensive. Very busy
Difficult to see things due to crowds.

Just had the deep behind the scenes experience, what a fantastic day!!!!

Always a great place to visit. Kids of all ages especially age 50 lol love it

Great place for a day out, lots to see and learn (although I personally dont agree with all the "facts" that are being given) ...good disabled access, cafe and gift shop. Also you can return as often as you like free of charge for a year.

Brilliant day out. Great staff. Lots to see. Excellent value. Would highly recommend a visit. Plus you can return as often as you like for free. It's a no brainer!

Fabulous day out with our childminding group of nearly 50 people. Booking as a group was straight forward and stress free. Kids didn't stop talking about their day to their parents when they got home. Plenty to see, play area to let off steam, tanks where children could touch star fish and crabs, picnic benches inside so we didn't have to spend a fortune on food. Reasonably priced gift shop.

Great day out with our children aged 4 and 7. Educational aswel as the fun bits. Will be going again with the year pass

Great place to visit but hope people don't have to queue if they book online which is why we booked online so we hopefully don't have to queue. . The deep is clean . Nice ..lots to see with a nice restaurant x can disabled be able to visit if lifts are not working

Great place, not free anymore but family priced good value, ruined only by the cost of parking which they should give free for deep visitors
Still recommend a visit, is great.
Also make sure you visit the restaurant-the food is good, cheap and the view from the upper seating area is unique

I've visited the deep multiple times and I love it. Lots of different species of fish, some reptiles, and some insects. There are also huge impressive tanks you can look into from the side or below.

Excellent place . Grandchildren loved it as I did too . Lots to do and see

A great aquarium, & a good place to spend an afternoon.

Kids love this place and you can go back as as many times as you want in a year on the same tickets

Absolutely brilliant!
There are a wealth of exhibits: fun and interesting ways to make the science come to life. There are interesting tanks: Open topped corral reef, a glass tunnel through a tank, a glass elevator in a tank and plenty more besides.
The staff were brilliant: helpful, polite and knowledgeable. I'd recommend getting a tour or going on a workshop if they're on.
Like I said absolutely brilliant, I couldn't recommend this enough.

Really nice place to take kids and the lift at the end is the best; it goes through a shark tank.

Nice day at the deep last time here was over 20 years ago !!!

Absolutely brilliant place to spend a couple of hours with the kids, or in my case grandkids. Spectacular displays of everything to do with our oceans. My grandson can't get enough of the place.

Lovely day out for all the family and very affordable.

Awesome place. Can go free for a year after the first time.

Not big as I thought but overall a good experience can t spend all day here 2/3hrs and it s all done

Great for taking the Kids and there is plenty of space, I've been a few times and you do get the school trips through but apart from a few areas it doesn't feel too cramped or busy.

Fantastic day out for all ages. We prepaid for our tickets online but you still have to join the same queue as everyone else. Stood in the queue for 45 minutes and 30 minutes of that was in torrential rain. You also have to pay for parking coins only so if you don't have change you have to queue up for your ticket and pay parking with that and then go back out to your car with the ticket. Wet and annoying start to our day. The venue is 5 star but disappointed with the parking and entry. They need to find a way to get people through quicker especially when there are lots of small children.

Love the Deep . First look round, lunch followed by a second tour. Six hours well spent!

Great place to visit. Exhibits were not laborious as some places can have, and yet highly informative and educational. The kids will love the animal life and discovery. The adults will appreciate the education.

Nice place to take kids. Can be really busy and cramped up on weekends.

A thoroughly enjoyable visit which exceeded our expectations. Most impressive.

Fantastic place for people of all ages. Even better to find out it's a charity and its main focus is conservation

Great place to spend a day with the kids. Maintained and organised exceptionally well. The annual pass concept is also very good! Would definitely recommend not just for kids but for adults as well!!

Was great. The staff were helpful and informative. They catered for all age groups. I went in summer though, and they really needed air conditioning.
