The Deep Reviews

Worst day out me and my family have ever had, a complete and utter waste of time and money. Drive to your local aquarium and save yourself some money!

A great place to spend a few hours. There are lots of interesting and educational exhibits. I visited with a 4yr old and she was totally enraptured by the penguins and the sharks.
We are in the cafe and the food was good value. There is also a picnic area if you take your own food.

Great to visit but very over crowded with people. There should be a max capacity. The car parks were full and inside the venue most things could not be seen or enjoyed do to it being too busy! But hey it's only my opinion. I'd go again! Hopefully when less busy!

The best aquarium I've ever been to, absolutely fantastic

An aquarium with a huge tank, what more can one expect. Was quite busy with children but that is to be expected on a weekend.

Really good on customer service for special needs. Don't bother with bubble lift at the end use the stairs as you'll get the same views without the rush.

Great day out. There is a lot of large windows to view the tanks!

Best aquarium I've ever been too loved the lift through the water

Very good, kids enjoyed interactive games especially. Very good information posted all around. There could be better signs for toilets

Awesome place, enjoyable for kids and adults, young and old. Friendly staff.

We love how you pay once then get a year free entry we never get board

Best bit was shut. To educational and not enough fish. More than likely if your not a simpleton you'll be disappointed

The online booking is a joke! It shows availability but when I try to book for 3 it says there's no availability and try a different time slot. Normally this wouldn't bother me but I've booked a hotel after checking ticket availability just to be told they aren't available when I go back to pay. THANKS A LOT!

Great for the kids, 100 times better than a Sealife Centre

Great place, especially with the deal on offer where you pay one entrance fee and visit for free for the following 12 months

Children loved it. Great place to visit on a rainy day.

Not as good as the sealife centre. The most you see are interactive screens. They need more real life things to see.

Fantastic for the kids (currently undergoing maintenance on main tank)

Its relatively cheap and along with the fact that the entry tickets are valid for an entire year, however for the younger of children I find that they would become bored very fast, 80% is all reading and learning rather than looking at sea life. I imagine it would be perfect for school trips. So my lad enjoyed it today and yer it was an alright destination for a day out, will I rush back now I have free entry for a year? Probably not. If I was to go back within a year I would more than likely just call in on my way to do something else and just take my lad to see the big tank and the penguins. 1 thing to look out for though is the parking tickets you have to get dont require your number plate so do what I did and pass it on to someone else, my ticket had a couple of hours left on it ( more than enough time to look around). I would also advise booking online as it's cheaper and you can skip the queue, its quick and easy ( I booked it on the way to the deep). So overall it was OK and that is literally the only way that I can describe it

Education and fun for everyone, we learned about the sea, its creatures and environment on how to keep them safe.
Clean toilets, neat cafe with good food.
Family fun, we love it here so we visit regularly.

Great fun & the main tank is fantastic. Kids loved it. Having to pay parking was a surprise so bring a couple of quid in change and it's not huge so don't race round.

Superb, touch pricey also car park charge is cheeky. But the exhibits are superb. Will defo make most of our full year pass now bought it.

Great day out for the kids, with lots of interaction stations

Great fun for the kids and a 1 year pass with your entry

Went a few times as a kid and never queued, went during the half term a week ago and we queued for 45 minutes! I feel they could have a better selection of aquatic life in the space they have in but what's there is still good. Definitely more orientated towards children.

Great for all the family wheelchair accessible and affordable prices
All round a great day out access to free wheelchair and mobility scooter

Great exhibitions, great to see everything from grabbing eels to sharks. Picnic areas as well as cafes

Good for killing a few hours but not the best aquarium. If I was in Hull again with the kids we would probably visit again.

It's a bit small but they have lots of fish. We watched the divers cleans the tanks and get harassed by the giant turtles which was funny.

Used to be great but now some of it closed for renovations. Not good value now

Nice 2 to 3 hour walk round. Plenty of seats, good displays. Not as colourful as some aquariums,but big specimens.

A good place to spend an hour or two. A bit pricey if you only go once, but your ticket allows you multiple visits within a year.
If it's busy, be prepared to queue a while to get in, but once inside the amount of people spread out.

Great place. Busy in morning but quieter in afternoon. Great for kids

The deep is a great place to go out with your family. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because we had to pay to get in and then also had to pay for parking.

Educational, imformative, family friendly, and we'll priced... a great days entertainment for all ages and we descoverd more things to do in hull.

I love going to the deep with my kids it's a great day trip the attractions a brilliant and so much information on each different species

Great place to visit with the family plus its free returns :)

Needs some money spending on it. A good proportion of the kid's interactive displays don't work and haven't worked for years.
Disappointing (although the penguins were brilliant).

Fantastic trip out for the family. Our 6 year old loved it and so did we. On site parking so not far to walk from the car either.

Granddaughter visit to the Deep couldn't wait to see the baby penguins and found the Moth from Moth trail enjoyed her visit

Excellent place. Especially on a rainy day. Just be prepared to queue to get in.

Fabulous place, our Grandchildren loved it, best part pay once and go as many times as you like for free

Perfect trip for both adults and children.
2.5 hours walking in nice atmosphere. Amazing big sharks.

Kids and adults loved it. Good interactive bit for the kids too

We took our little girl for her birthday she absolutely loved it!

Very good we did a sleepover with Rainbows to Senior Sectio 127 girls and 30 Adults.

Excellent, and with free return for the next year, great value for money.

We had such great day we went back the next day and did it all again! Great price, definitely worth a trip from Newcastle just for it for the day. Especially since the tickets last a year.

Fantastic day out best aquatic attraction we have been to a must for people who love creatures of all sorts.

Great place for young and old. The staff are friendly and helpful. Going through the whole place will probably take no longer than hour and half.

Very busy as came during school hols, either come at 9am or about 3pm. Not enough parking but great attraction

Great place to go with the kids. You buy a ticket and it lasts for one year. It is good with the interactive reading but some of it was closed when we went.

Very intresting with lots to see. Plenty of information boards around and great staff ready for any questions. Cafe very good serving snacks and meals and a well stocked shop on exit.

Brilliant place. Educational and fun, but not ideal for children aged 1 - 4 as they are not of an age to understand.

Thought it would be better. A little bit disappointing it only took about 30 minutes to walk round from start to finish. Food is not too good either.

I thoroughly enjoyed the visit to this aquarium. Not too big which is a bonus as I don't like big museums because I get bored easily. I couldn't figured out why they call it deep though. Any thoughts?

Very easy to find, Sign posted well. Went for a family day out and wasn't disappointed. Lovely clean picnic area with a lovely view, very educational kids loved it. Small issue that the parking meter only takes coins but was able to pay at the reception inside so wasn't much of an issue.
