The Deep Reviews

We had an excellent family day out, this was a nominated venue for our meet with two young children. We thought that it would be an interesting and entertaining day out. One child 6 and the other 3. The Deep was fabulous in so many ways, fabulous fish and other aquatic animals to see. We did visit during the school holidays and felt that it was rather crowded. You had to move with the crowd.

The Deep was more museum than I anticipated, more engaging for the 6 year old child with interactive quiz style games. The fish were fabulous.

We took a picnic and sat in the indoor picnic area to eat our pack up. there weather wasn't fab on the day so it was a little busy at 12 noon.

All in all a good day out and great to spend time with the family, seeing animals we had not seen before.

It is a wonderful tourist attraction well worth a visit

Was excellent to take the family, with informative staff members doing talks at certain stages and very interactive during feeding times. The glass lift is fab and the fact it pauses half way up so you are fully immersed in the large tank is a great way to round off the trip.
The cafe is nice but what you expect, not totally over priced but prob more than you would normally pay..obviously. would say 2 to 3 hours is enough though.

Nice place, only really need morning or afternoon there but coukd spend all day there, nice views over the humber.

Great day out for an older 4+ child. My 3yr old ran round so quickly we went round twice. There are penguins, fish, sharks and interesting facts. There is a nice cafe, serves standard canteen style lunches, sandwiches , drinks, snacks and cakes. You can turn your ticket into an annual free pass so you can return as often as you like fitly a year.

Avoid weekends and school holidays, seriously mega busy. Cafe included

Fantastic and educational for everyone, my two year old girl loved it so much we will be returning very soon.

Absolutely adore this place. Wonderful time for EVERYONE. Would love a job as an aquarist here. I do keep trying.

It's brilliant, my 2 and 4 year old daughters love it!

A great place to visit. This was my second visit and my baby girl loved it. Lots of different things to see plus lots of factual information to read. The only thing I wasn't 100% on is the new penguin exhibit which is very small compared to others I've seen. Far from ideal.

Always a pleasure to visit, parking is plentiful, pricey but worth the outlay - the ticket is valid for a year. Plenty of species to see and friendly staff to quiz.

I really did not like it it was not good and the kids really did not like it because there want much to do

Superb experience, lots of interesting facts are given as you walk around the area. But I must also mention the part at the end of the journey, it gives you a time to think a bit more about the human influences that are affecting certain dangers in the world. Because of this I rated 5 stars, its important that we are being informed about these issues.

Good place for the whole family, with lots to see. The food in the cafe is good quality and relatively cheap. It only takes about an hour to get around the place, which is the only down side really.

We enjoyed this as did our 1 year old. It makes the ticket price worth it if you can take advantage of the 'come back within a year' offer. The food at the restaurant was quite good too.

Great place to come with children and the pay once for access all year makes it family budget friendly too.

Love it, been twice first time was when I was 7 years old and I bought a little badge with my name on, but yeah great place really cool.

Interesting place to visit in a great location, important for us all to see the effects of climate change and what we are doing to the oceans as well as seeing lots of interesting sea life. Decent cafe.

Had a wonderful time and the experience was enjoyable

Great for education. Covid aware. Bonus to revisit for free all year after paid once. Only negative, due to covid, you have to keep moving and can't take as much time as you might like in normal visits to sit and enjoy large tanks but this is understandable at present. They are doing a great job in tricky circumstances and staff were pleasant

I have been here before and I would recommend everybody to come to this wonderful place in Hull. This is one of my favourite places and it has a beautiful cafe and it is a beautiful and lovely place for both adults and children to visit.
Last time I went with my family I loved every moment of it. It is expensive but it is worth visiting especially if you want to enjoy and want to have a wonderful day especially by making it into a very interesting day to visit a glorious and beautiful place to visit The Deep in Hull which was well appreciated by me and all my family. In adding once again I wanted to say that all of the staff whom work at The Deep are all exceptionally marvellous and kind people themselves. I wanted to say that the owner of The Deep in Hull is an exceptionally marvellous and magnificent person as well and the owner is an exceptionally diplomatic person as well and the owner is an exceptionally dedicated and hard working person filled with the highest standards of excellence.
I would once again recommended everybody in the whole world to come and visit this exceptionally beautiful and marvellous place in Hull which is The Deep itself and all of the people that visit The Deep are all exceptionally marvellous people themselves.

Going round the Deep was brilliant but the restaurant was awful... the food was very poor, my salad was just lettuce and one cherry tomato ... and as for the fish n chips my son got it looked as if it was cooked last week and saved..staff unhelpful when I complained... never again.

The best view loved it.. Like the diner area asu can sit back and watch the sea view.. Kids loved it and will recommend to every 1.. Love the fact u only pay once can go on the deep view again for free .. Bargain x hope to go again with family n friends xxx

Very busy and a long wait to get in but otherwise great visitor attraction.

Fantastic visit but had to queue for 1 hour to get in.

An ideal place for a 2-3 hour trip. It is worth going to see the underwater world.

Great place with loads to see and tickets last a whole year absolutely brilliant

Great place for children and adults, very friendly and helpful staff

Good place for kids. Tickets can be reused for another 12 months which is good value. It's not huge so take your time going round. Canteen isn't amazing but to be expected in places like this. My two year old enjoyed it.

Nice and quiet in the early evening on New Year's Day

Really worth a visit, informative, large tanks full of fish, soft play area for children ,watch the sharks been fed

I love this place and so does my teenagers! Weve been there at 3 different times, ones when my oldest was only 1,5. The next time we went he was 5-6 and our other son was about 2-3. They were both mesmerized with the fish and skeletons! Last time was only a few weeks ago and kids are now 15 and 13 and still just as exited as when they were little! I love the big pool with the sharks and sting rays and turtles and the whole thing about this place! There is no age limit as you appreciate different things at different stages in life. We will come here again!

Excellent disabled access. Very educational without being overwhelming for children. Can I keep a penguin?

The main attraction is excellent, the food in the restaurant is pretty poor.

love this place absolutly fantastic great for the kids to learn and look at all types of fish etc great and pleasant staff there so useful!!

Prices extremely reasonable! Pay once then free entry for 12 months. Love taking the kids here it's a great day out with lots to see and places to eat. You can even take your pack up and use the picnic area. The only downside i think is the More

Good day out, plenty to see all, presented in an informative manner.

Gift shop is expensive but no more so than most of these kind of places.

Absolutely brilliant!!! I m amazed every time I go.

This is a world-class natural history facility that's great for kids and a real asset for Hull.

Great day out. Entry give you a years pass. If you have a member of your party with special needs to are Ble to go straight to the front of the queue but need to show proof of the disability.

What a great place can't wait to go back .expert staff very helpful

The little one loves it here. Great for young children.

My girl loves going to the deep and if I am being honest, so do I.

Awesome experience, the shark tank is awesome plus when I went you pay once and get a pass for a year!

Had a fantastic day out here. My son loved seeing the different fish and their environments. It was hard to get him off all the interactive displays.

Absolutely amazing place and amazing to visit with a person on a wheelchair. Big filly kitted disabled toilets with a full room harness lift. Amazing place

Promises more than it delivers. The large box is very impressive with the sharks and rays, the penguins have little space. A tropical water aquarium with coral. The other bins were in the overhaul. Lots of messy and non-working devices in between.

Great for children. However once you've looked around there is only a certain amount of fish you can endure

A place full of wonder. An absolute delight for my little one. She got to see real life Nemo. Perfect birthday. Friendly staff, great price. Can highly recommend! Thankyou

Nice aquarium but too much costly 14 pound ticket per person

Really great place to visit , suitable for all ages.

Multi-sensory venue with function roo. Everything there for most people.

We stopped off at The Deep on our way home from holiday. We absolutely loved it. It was totally different to any aquarium we've been to. We loved the ice wall and our kids loved the different activities available.

We had a 1:1 experience morning booked. It was well worth the money. We learnt so much and had some amazing opportunities to interact with some of the fish. Our guide was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable.

Good for a few hours but v expensive and you have to pay for parking. It can get v busy and crowded.

Great experince as always family loved it. Could visit every week. Helpful friendly staff.

My little boy loved it for his 1st birthday. He's obsessed with fish! Thank you for a lovely day

Great Place to visit,certainly much,much better value than sea life centres in my opinion,all the creatures look in the best of health and the staff seem to really care,although it's a 400 mile round trip for us it's worth every penny
