The Deep Reviews

Great for our 18 month old and our 7 year old. We enjoyed seeing the mix of creatures but was disappointed when we realised we had come to the end and had to exit. Wish we could have gone backward to relook at some busier areas we missed.

My family just had a brilliant day here. We all enjoyed the exhibits, the timeline at the beginning was good leading to some excellent tanks and particularly the huge show tank. It's impossible not to be impressed with the size of the tank, and who would not be impressed by sharks and sawfish. We were lucky enough to see the sawfish being fed - just great!

My 'kids' ages 16 and 19, were both impressed. A rare event indeed !



The queue was reasonably long to get in, but again the staff were very quick and we only waited a few minutes.

We were probably there for around 3 hours or so, time went very quickly.

If I am ever Hull way again, I would most definitely go back.

Really good interesting couple of hours. Amazing fish. And lots of interesting facts as you walk around.

Great place to go very educational aswell as fun. seeing the sharks and penguins is always a winner

Absolutely brilliant, staff are fantastic and seem to really love what they do. Had lots of different things on throughout the day. Prices for entry were good and to my surprise you even get free year return passes making it amazing value for money!

A great place for a nice afternoon with your family! I highly recommend!

Still amazing and lovely to take family members around for their first visit!

Great place, my daughter went in scared of sharks and came out loving them, calm and content atmosphere with brilliant workshops to do

Over rated in my opinion, nothing of any real interest in there, I find it very sad how people on here are crowing about it, they've obviously never been to a proper museum before, more gift shops and cafes than attractions... 30-40minutes of mediocre, bland and often broken exhibits.

Good family attraction in the centre. Good value if you revisit as your ticket acts as an annual pass. Pricey for a single trip though. Car park is horrendous at times.

Highly recommended!
Not only beautiful, but also interactive and with ecological food for thought!

Very well done!

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the deep, an enjoyable day out.

Fabulous place, interesting and educational for all ages. Good price for a quality attraction.

Fantastic day out really enjoyed it very knowledgeable staff even though it's school holidays we didn't have to queue food in the restaurant was 10/10 everything was spotless couldn't fault it at all and we even got a ticket so w can revisit anytime we want within 12 months for the same price

Educational and fun, the queue to get in was a bit long though.

Great day out. Lots to see. Good for the kids. Good value for money.

Less of an experience, due to Covid. But still a pleasant day out. Lovely meal at Ask afterwards.

Good place to visit if your up this way plenty to see

Great place to visit and great access for disabled people. Thanks

It's a nice place to go on a rainy day and is fun fall all the family it also serves food

The attraction is very good. The food is awful. Would definitely be visiting again. Won't be eating in tho

Superb place, lots of the interesting facts, displays, friendly staff. Food not over priced either. With a good selection to choose from.

Me and my wife real injoyed are time at the deep sea world on hull docks we had a great time thank you.

It was the first time I've been and I thoroughly enjoyed it the staff everything was marvelous and the displays out of this world and there's plenty for the kiddies to do as well,

An interesting place to visit and very good for kids. Well set out exhibitions and polite staff. Has a well priced cafe and a good little gift shop. The car park is quite limited, arrive for opening on the weekends. Opens from 10am

Great day for all ages. You'll want to go back again and again.

Lots to do loads of information for kids very interactive

Come here regularly, every ticket you buy gives a years free entry so we make the most of it.

Brilliant day out for all the family, i took my boyfriend at the beginning of the year and we loved it but nothing has changed since I went as a little girl. The interactive machines and layout etc are still the same as in 1997.

Wonderful place to relax and spend time with family. Lot of awe aspiring sights.

It was quite good. I was told before visiting that this was a very deep aquarium. I think that somewhat skewed my preconceptions of the place. I was expecting all the joy and curiosity of an aquarium with startling, revealing truths about, to borrow a phrase, life, the universe and everything. However, the aquarium, while impressive, offered no revelations, no great insights and very little education in general beyond standard facts about the exhibits. I later learned that the aquarium boasts of being physically deep rather than spirituality, philosophically or metaphysically deep. Also, they refused to cook me any of the fish on show, despite the fact I was really hungry.

Unique
Must see

A wonderful family day out. We come back again and again.

It was a great experience walking alongside our fellow beings in the sea.
This is my second visit and never disappoints.

Great day out for the family, plenty to see and great views from the cafe on the third floor. Lots of parking and not too far from the city center and it's public transport.

Great fun. And pay once go for rest of the year free. Excellent value for money and great it goes towards marine live. Great location in hull, lovely city.

I will evaluate now. Best of all my aquarium places. The others have been smaller. Lots to see!

It's not bad but It was not that good of a experience

We had a fabulous afternoon. There is a very powerful display filled with plastic. It is heartbreaking to see. The fish have amazing tanks to live in and the penguins all look happy.

Great afternoon out. It's inspired my son to care about conservation all at a price you can afford.

Great place for a family day out! If you're a young family then this is the place to go for a day trip on a weekend. Highly recommended.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice family outing.

Great for kids with lots to do for a few hours. If you get depressed about how we're messing up the planet then maybe skip reading the exhibits.

Simply the best aquarium i have been too. Brilliant with the children and even better without them. The penguins and displays are just the best

A bit over priced for what s there but good if your local as admission lasts a year

We always enjoy bringing my little boy here. We try to come at least one a year. It's a great place to spend a couple hours

Only penguins make us excited. Other than than pretty normal place.

Brilliant that once you've paid for your ticket it's valid for a full year!! Kids love it here

Great for the kids and people who have never seen exotic fish.

Loads of information about the oceans and how climate change is affecting it

It's really nice here. The problem is we usually spend about 2 hours here max. That's about all there is to do. It's a long drive to get to if you live far. Not a day trip

The deep has always been my favourite place to visit in Hull so it wasn't a hard decision to go tonight to the two rivers restaurant there, taking advantage of the 20% off offer currently running. It was amazing, well worth the visit and the money, the food was amazing, the wait staff excellent and the drinks delicious and I need to find out where that salted caramel dairy free ice cream came from, being lactose intolerant it can be hard to eat out sometimes but no such issues here. Well definitely be going back

Not a great place for younger children. Busy and some parts not really accessible to the young ones.

Excellent atmosphere and displays despite the penguin area closed for a refit. Upgrade your ticket for a years entry.

We love the deep, it's a perfect family day out and the best thing is you can pay once and revisit with those tickets for the year! Donations are welcomed though. The cafe is really well priced with good hot food and selection for kids, ample parking and a retail park nearby.

Went there for an evening event. Service was painfully slow and food poor- vegetables were almost raw and Yorkshire pudding hadn't risen. They need to work on their corporate hospitality

Great day out for the kids! And Patrick Stewart narrates as you walk through can't ask for more.

Had a great time kids loved it , had dinner in cafe which was lovely a little expensive but was a family treat so worth every penny

Didn't go in this time, but by the size of the queue it was very popular.

You can spend a nice quality time there.Good for any age. Restaurant and shop inside.

Haven't been for some years and was surprised on my return how much fun it was.

Excellent full family day out. Not sure why they make you queue for the lift back to the top at the end. Only to make you queue for different lift back down again.
Other than that ace.

My 20 month old boy loved it. Great day out and the tickets are valid for 12 months so will definitely go back. Food was a bit pricey for what it was but to be expected.

Lovely place! Great for the kids very educational, friendly staff and fun for all

Great place for the kids plenty of small easy to see windows and larger ones. Wide array of species and a nice little play area of play area for younger children. Food isn t great in canteen and not as much areas as expected, can get a little packed with school kids.

Great that the tickets last year wrong so hold onto to them.

Very educational for the kids and also for adults. Lots to see and do

Love this place, great family outing, and I can keep going back for the next year! Educational, easy parking, child friendly, well worth it

Kids loved it if your into fish you will want to come here...only downside was that some of the information games didn't work... All in all good day out

Lots to see and do.
Kids love it
