Loved it here. I would recommend the aquarium to anyone who enjoys looking at and learning about marine life regardless od their age. We were a group of mid twenty year olds and still enjoyed the time we spent here. It took us around 2 hours to complete it and for the small price you pay to get in you can't complain. Plus there is an option for you to have a free return visit within a year should you so wish. There were plenty of staff members around to ask questions should you want to along with plenty of information boards for you to read. We did not have food here so I cannot comment on the quality or price. My only gripe is that you have to pay for parking but as the entry fee is low it still didn't work out to be that costly. Overall it is very affordable and educational but interesting.

Beautiful aquarium, friendly staff, well laid out with lots of information about the animals and their evolution. My son loves to come here and because it is well priced we can bring him again and again. Lots of Easter activities for families to enjoy and even a mascot.

Apart from a few educational stands not working (what a surprise at a venue in the UK!!)
This is a really good day out ... very reasonably priced and includes a year long pass to come back for free. Brilliant for kids from 4 to 40

Fantastic day out, such a well designed building. Also cafe is excellent value which makes a change! We used Tesco Club card vouchers so was a few visit and can return again all year. Highly recommended.

Yes we went in school holidays but....

Very disorganised, queued nearly an hour to get to car park to be told full and if able to park elsewhere there was still over an hour queue to get in, could we go back later? Simple answer 'no' as we had a ferry to catch. We had Tesco vouchers which could not be refunded so went back on the way home so we didn't waste them even though we'd had alternative plans for that day, but that was nearly as bad.

A friend had booked on line and had same problem, no fast track even though she had booked and paid in advance and she ended up getting a refund. Perhaps they need to consider timed entry during busy periods?

Once you have paid you get a 12 month pass and maybe this is part of the problem as all the locals were going back free and could get there early, maybe this should exclude school holidays or only be after a certain time?

The Deep, since it opened, has been Hull s number one Tourist attraction and one of the most visited aquariums in the UK.

With sharks, penguins, rays, sea turtles, frogs, reptiles and thousands of differ fresh and salt water fish species, there is a lot to see there.

The best thing is the year long membership scheme. Buy one ticket and register for membership and don t have to pay again for a full year which is great value.

While the finale of the tour still needs updating, the Deep is a fantastic place to visit if you come to Hull.

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and found that each exhibit was very well planned and nicely laid out. There was lots of information on the ways about the exhibits and sea life which was also very interesting. The layout of the whole building was definitely different but certainly enjoyable especially with the amount of sensory and interactive activities. I also like the fact that when you pay for the visit they take your picture allowing you to come back at any point for free in the following 12 months after your visit which is very handy and definitely saves a bit of money. The only downside to the whole visit was the fact that it gets very very busy and the viewing windows to the exhibits are very small so sometimes it's hard to see all of the exhibits. Other than that I found the experience very pleasant and will definitely be back again soon. A must do is the glass sea tank lift which takes you to the exit via inside the giant fish tank.

Great place. Very educational. And the kids loved it. BUT, the interactive parts could do to be updated, the soft play area height allowance needs reiterating to staff and the food is waaaaayyyyyy over priced.

Always enjoyed The Deep. This was my first trip post lockdown. Went on a weekday, it felt like they'd done an excellent job making it feel safe and the lower numbers actually made it easier to see the fish.

Absolutely fabulous place.5 stars - though the shop wad do commercial and could have done with a greater variety of books - there was little for adults. But the rest wad great- well worth another bis it!

Wow, just wow, and actual saw fish, almost extinct and they have two about 4 metres in length, brilliant day for the money and you can go as many times as you like for the following 12 months, food was well priced too.

Had a great day, and with the long parking time we had a chance to walk into Hull. Well laid out with some great aquariums. Some interesting species, we are keeping our tickets so we can visit again in the next 12 months!

Great place for all ages, well arrange journey around the exhibits with good information/description placards and interactive displays. Check on the feeding times for the Gentoo Penguins it's worth making your way there for one of the times during your visit. As they also have a keeper explaining more about the characters of these guys. With two eateries and reasonable prices for the food and drink as well as having child portions they represent a value for money option.
If you are able to take advantage of the option to use your ticket for further visits, this makes the entry fee even greater value.

Well I have to say I wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews ... How wrong !! The Deep is Fantastic! and even at the worldly wise age of $%. I was enthralled bewondered and thoughly facinated.. the staff were knowledgeable and obligingly helpful. The interactive learning tools brilliant, but the Stars of the show, have of course to be the fish Were truly amazing !! .. Even without the special offer of free entry for a year from your ticket purchase date .. I would still return time and time again !! WELL DONE HULL RHE DEEP IS FAB!!
