The Deep Reviews

Went with 2 sons and a friend who uses a wheelchair.
Boys and I have been before but not for a while.
It was great. I actually managed to stop and read/listen to some of the information as we went down. My friend found everything to be accessible and with starting at the top and working our way down meant that there was no issue with having to push chair up slopes.
Will be going again.

Loved every minute of it we came for my Granddaughter's first birthday. We loved the sensory side of it as she is profoundly deaf and her responses were amazing again a fantastic day out

It's very nice area. My both daughter's like this place and enjoy it a lot

An interactive aquarium will definitely appeal to every child.

Loved it here, the kids loved it also, very chilled, you can rush aroundund or take your time, only issue was the cafe was closed. The restraunt stops selling hot food 2hrs before It closes... No vegan milk or vegan options x

Great oceanarium, a lot of fish and interestingly designed and made interior. Great fun for the whole day

Good activity if your in the area but deffinatly not a full days worth of stuff to do there

Absolutely fantastic place. Great that you pay once and can come back as many times as you like over the year

All ok. Just be careful cose this place may be verry busy in weekend days.

I had the most awful experience the most boring place ever you can go nothing else waste of time
And money very boring. Me and kids dint like at all

Extremely well worth a visit . The entrance fee was a good price for what you get . It was very clean and the aquarium inhabitants looked healthy. Very child friendly.

There is free wifi, great food and even a playground for children! The museum is really worth visiting.

Que to get tickets was over an hour long, but once we were inside it was very enjoyable, a little pricey but happy to support such a lovely place.

Amazing place to visit for a day out, a vast variety of marine life. Was a great perk to know you can visit all year round after paying for a ticket too. Hull centre is just a 10-15 minutes from there too which was handy too. Beautiful place, definitely going again.

Usual lack of care "..icthysaurus "that grew upto 2metres" but "the largest fossil found was 3 metres" both written on the same exhibit board.Just above the touch screen design your fish that just stopped!!!


Id havevasked forca refund if id have thought they could manage it

Lots to see helpful, knowledgeable staff ...will be back

Amazing place for everybody not just fish lover's.great for family with lots for the children to do and play with

Great day put for kids very knowledgeable and pay once go free for a year

Awesome absolutely fantastic loved the turtles and penguins great place ... and it is the best I have seen in the country

Loved it! Was a lovely few hours, and love that you can come back with in the year for free

Great fun, good value, easy to access, staff very friendly and helpful

Was forced to wait in the rain for 45 minutes to get in but good once inside, the lack of preparation for bad weather ruined many peoples experience including mine as we were drenched through before ever reaching the entrance and staff weren't doing anything to attempt to keep waiting guests out of the rain especially in the cold weather

Visited The Deep on a sunday. It was really busy and there were queues to get in and queues for the lifts so definitely go during the week if you can.

The tanks are amazing, they look much bigger than the ones at sea life centres. Lots of information points and interactive things for the kids. Small soft play area at the end which is a great idea.

A big fish tank that you can walk around and underneath

Still a very good aquarium, been before and the standards haven't dropped

Brill place and day out with partner. Had a nice chill there and learned a little more about sea creatures. What is there to not like about this place.

We went on a monday during school term-time mid afternoon as the school groups were leaving so didn't have the crowded problems other reviewers have mentioned. RThe staff we spoke to were all lovely and right from the start our kids loved it and were mesmerised by the many different fish and sea creatures and I have to say as parents we were too. By far the best large aquarium we have been to.

A great place for me. A lot of different fish and other amphibians. Great diversity, the object is big, it's very nice to walk on it. There are many facilities for people with children and people with disabilities. There is even a place for fun for the little ones. Interesting is organized. The big surprise is that by buying one ticket you can enter again within a year of your visit.

Watching the divers feed the fish was great & for my son was the large manta rays swimming next to the glass he said "that fish is smiling at me".

Thoroughly enjoyed it second time coming. Really Good considering there is Covid

Rather hectic but a good day for the kids. They can get board as it's all very much the same all the way through

Some impressive fish, sharks and other see life but way too busy even on a week day when kids are at school. You re lucky if you can find a good spot to view the fish. Cafe as you would expect is bog standard and expensive.

A great family location. A good couple of hours looking at fish

One of my all time favourite places. Though I've seen some improvement, the gift shop needs to become completely eco friendly; no point making anti-plastic displays then selling plastic.

Great aquarium with so much to see, brilliant place to go for a day out if the weather isn t great

Very good place for a couple of hours. Lots of good exhibits and information. After two hours of a leisurely stroll around, we had finished..

Having been to.places like Tropical World in Leeds, it is more than twice the price for little, if any, extra.

Bigger the first time around, but very educational. Play area for the Kids is good, lets them burn a load of energy off. Food and Food choices aren't bad but could be better.

Interesting attraction. Annual ticket makes it reasonable value.

Great learning environment for primary age children .

Simply the best day out Hull has to offer.

So many species of fish spread out over many tasks ranging from the small to the huge endless oceans tank. The is even a small colony of penguins and a python.

The staff are extremely knowledgeable and always on hand to answer your many questions. The gift shop was reasonably priced as was the parking.

It is worth noting that the postcode on the address takes you to the wrong place. Head for the premier Inn and navigate from there.

Great afternoon as usual when we go to The Deep. 4 yr old daughter got to stroke starfish and urchins and see the very active penguins being fed.

The aquarium is okay, not one of the best but the children like it. The 12 month ticket is a bonus. The real issue is they have no concept of moderation when it comes to volume of the presentations. Apart from making children cry you only get to hear one word in three due to the speaker distortion. Less is more.

Great fish tanks, shame the past few visits over the past few years, so many of the hands on exhibit s and technology is broken. Worth it just for the big tank.

Great day out. Learn the history and pre history of the world

Amazing animals and really well set out with lots of interactive parts

Fantastic place....lots to do and see, its well priced then you get a great view of the Humber bridge, inside is packed with information on the different species of fish and sharks and turtles and tortoises , there are spiders, penguins, frogs and many creepy crawlies.....great gift shop and the grub is nice as well, i took my girlfriend on the weekend and she loved it.

Great fun. Lots to learn and see for all ages :) A few exhibitions could do with being updated though.

A great day out for family. Save your ticket because it gives you free entry for a year.

Great range of exhibits for all ages, with the recent inclusion of penguins. Bubble lift is especially fun.

Drove up to Hull with the kids 2 hours drive. Location lovely, parked easily and didn't have much of a queue to get in. Then I was disappointed I prefer seeing the fish etc to facts and tasks. Finally found the fish tank. It was deep but that was it really. Nothing out of the ordinary to see. The fishes just went round and round like they would in a bowl. The tunnel was small and packed full of non movers. The cafe was tiny and understaffed. The food was not the best and the queue was huge. Couldn't get out the car park upon leaving as I'd been blocked in . I can go again for free though but I don't think I will.

The kids loved it! Brilliant mix of informative and entertaining!

Awesome place for kids and adults too. Tickets last a year on top so you can keep going back.

It's ok, the good bits are very good but lots of average in between, sadly the turtle tank is no longer there since our last visit.

An expensive entry price and having to pay parking outside the venue, it all adds up to an "ok" experience.

Door price should have been half imho, I would have added an extra star had the price been more reasonable.

Absolutely Amazing, day could'nt of started any better, loads of parking spaces, No ques and most of all no kids causing chaos with irresponsible parents, and cheap as chips in cafe, on downside i think they lock you in until buy something from gift shop as there was a que to get out. But get yourselves there kids u wont be dissapointed

Amazing except lbubble lift wasn't working werent informed at beginning at was looking forward to it other than that great

Not as good as Blue Planet in Chester but good value if you return using the annual passport.

Went with a group. Everyone was helpful giving us directions and helping with wheelchair in the lifts

This is a great day out, and the ticket lets you get in all year for free if you keep it.
