The Deep Reviews

Had a great time and learnt a lot. Will definitely be returning again. Great for all ages and disabilities.

Huge central aquarium several stories high with many viewports. Plenty for kids to do. Great views from the top. Easy to get to

Excellent though busy we could see all the tanks and animals, like the 3D effect at the beginning and the way the tanks are set out. Very interesting

Can't find any negatives here! All positives, great few hours out. My two year old loves it and with the annual pass we can go back loads for an amazing price!

Wonderful family attraction. Excellent value for money. However have to pay for parking and food areas close quite early compared to attraction opening times. Great option for families on bad weather days

Deep is fabulous. Good social distancing measures in place.

Beautiful place to visit. Unfortunately there was a large group of families that were ruining the place by running round on instagram live banging the glass of the aquariums and shoving us all out of the way but it was a Saturday morning so expected it to be busy. Despite others having no manners the staff were brilliant, free disabled parking and my husband got in for free too. All I had to do was show my PIP letter. The tanks were clean the staff friendly and there was lots to catch the eye. Going in for the price of one trip all year is great too.

There is a soft play bit for babies near the end which is brilliant but a shame it isn't checked on more as there were much bigger kids behaving silly in it making it impossible for the little ones to play safely.

All in all well worth the money.

A variety of sea life from a close view. Good for kids inorder to recpgnize these creatures and creat some feelings of protection for them and sea water. Great efforts of staff must be acknowledged.

Great set up. Start at top... All walking downhill.
The star of the show is the main tank. Many spots to view.
Parking can be tough if busy. Has a small diner/restaurant area. But many people brought lunch and were eating.
Great for all ages.
Take your time. Many things to see and there are shows at specific times.
Lots of people to answer questions.
And a great gift shop!!!

Not quite upto the expectation. One time visit even though you get a year pass when you buy a ticket. Can spend 2 hrs max. Kid may enjoy.

Amazing! One of the best aqauriums i have experienced; there is so much to see and do. The displays of fish and tanks are so beautiful with a huge range of marine life and species from different oceans. The colours in the exhibits are fantastic. There is two coffee shops and a place to eat packed lunches so great for children and all ages to learn and experience, definitely wheel chair accessible. Everyone really enjoyed the underwater lift at the end and tunnel. The large gift shop is great too esspecially worth buying some souvenirs. The prices were good as well, a fantastic place.

Excellent well worth the money, during school holidays there are queues, but they move quickly .

Extremely polite members of staff everywhere. The whole experience is fun and engaging with breathtaking views of the vast array of aquatic life. Being able to see penguins swim under water too is incredible. I would highly recommend for all ages even our 7 month old loved the lights and sounds.

Excellent value for money not a massive venue can get around n about hour but worth seeing. Good eating place reasonable priced.small soft play area for small children.

its a great place to take toddlers and very reasonably priced

One of the best aquariums in the country, a wide variety of sealife and even penguins!

Loved the sea creatures, it's was amazing to watch them soo close..

Very good grown up couple day out. Had great fun and saw some beautiful creature.
Great day out for kids too.

Kids loved it, Been 3 times this year already, thankfully admission is valid for 1 year

Nice and educational aquarium. Doesn't take long to get around, but young children will certainly enjoy it The animals were all in seemingly good condition with lots of space.

There seemed to be more TV screens than tanks. Price ok and lasts for a year.

This is the best aquarium i have visited to date you pay one and you gain entry all year absolutely brilliant

Definitely recommended a trip to the deep, lots to see and interact with, the kids loved it.

Really well laid out aquariums with some lovely specimens, a bit pricey but that doesn't seem to have a negative impact on the visitor numbers.

I've been a couple of times and loved it. Took grandkids, the 3 year old had an amazing day, he absolutely loved it. 1 year old not so sure. I'll definitely be going again.

Excellent full day excursion and not just for kids. In fact better enjoyed with the kids left at home. Hehe

Just wow. Amazing aquarium and fqntqstic range of wildlife.

We even had tea in front of one of the huge tanks on the evening too. Food was amazing!

Love it at the deep. Kids are always nagging to go. Staff are friendly food is good and it's all good value for money. A great day out!

Had a great family day out. Our 18 month old loved watching all the fish in the big tanks and there was plenty of room for her to run around.

Disappointed as no where near as bug as I thort. The tunnel was a massive let down. Only 2 stars as we can go again in the next 12 months for free. That said would only be on a cold wet day.

Fantastic and annual tickets make returning easy. Tons to do for adults and children.

Good day out. Definitely better than I was expecting and you get a full years admission for your ticket

A great place with dark interiors and colourful lighting, great for autistic children, a variety of fish tanks, there's one colossal tank with turtles, swordfish huge stingrays with windows from many angles so you don't miss a thing, this More

Brilliant day out and friendly staff. Also love the fact that you get to go back for an entire year for free!

Fantastic day out, lovely staff, very well kept Animals. Habitats are superb and well looked after. This is coming from someone that kept reptiles and amphibians so I know a little about husbandry when it comes to thing with atmospheric sensitivity. Can wait to go again. . . FOR FREE!! (Tickets allow to be used as a plus pass, so you can visit unlimited times for 12 months) Might try a weekend up this way and do Yorkshire wildlife Park too.

Great place very fun and interactive children loved it

Brilliant as usual only my 3rd time it just get better

Came to take kids.

Car park is pay and display.
Food and drink is expensive

Kids enjoyed it.

Came here for a Company Christmas meal, had a great night, very impressed with the quality of the food.

Fantastic experience, however with the current covid risk, I would have liked to have seen a few less people or at least 50% of them social distancing, obviously they're so entitled they don't need to do that. In that case I'll have to return to the statement a few less people and lay the blame on the aquarium as they just racked them and packed them.

I love this place so much. A years membership for one ticket is such a good deal!
Would definitely go again every chance I have.
The jellyfish were my favourite.

Great family day out, pay once and go free all year !

Grate place for the kids but like everywhere now a little expensive and you have to pay extra to park?????

A really nice change for us, bigger than I expected and my little one really loved it. The option of a free return was a nice touch, I think we'll be using it.

Absolutely nobody was wearing facemasks, or respecting social distancing. Staff did nothing to enforce this.

Anyone with mobility limitations Will love it!... Everything has been thought of!!!...

Went here on a Saturday. Not too busy. Well worth a trip. Deepest aquarium in Europe.

A top notch attraction. Lots to learn (if that's your thing) and lots of amazing fish and sea creatures to look at, ohh and penguins! It really is a fantastic place to visit and you can return free of charge for the next year which makes it a bargain! Doesn't take that long to walk round 2 - 3 hours. There is a small cafe 1/2 way round the aquarium and a much larger (and better) one at the end. Plenty of car parking (pay and display).

Book early is essential. Basically you dine there for the view not for the food.

Love it here. Really well organised given the current pandemic. Staff always helpful and friendly. I was really impressed with their toilet system with having one family in at a time this helped move the queue along nicely. They were in the 50% eat out scheme so morning cuppa was nice and cheap. Place had plenty of hand sanitizers to use especially round the activity stations. We now have a free years pass to return so will hopefully be back soon.

Will have to visit not over the school holidays next time. Can not hear nothing apart from kids screaming and you can only watch where you step instead of animals. Not very good for someone who had a bad perception of walkway as they are mostly dark could do with some lights just on the ground. I had to keep walking with someones hand not to fall. Otherwise all very interesting and informative.

This place is totally amazing!, staff are very friendly and full of awesome facts. Interactive things to do, all the 'residents' are just fab! My favourite was the huge ray. Bought a yearly pass (same price as a day pass) definitely going back!!!!

We love this place, it's all about conservation and not profit which is a plus, my son is very into all the sea creatures so this was the perfect place for him to soak up all the information about everything.

Second time here and it's great for the kids and adults, will definitely go again. Plenty of hand sanitizer everywhere and very well spaced out.

Amazing place extremely interesting and a overall great visit would suggest to everybody of all ages

Great place for all the family even the little ones
