The Deep Reviews

I loved going to The Deep. There is on-site (paid) parking by the waterfront. I have a carer, so she went for free, which I thought was a nice inovation. There is a good size cafe, which is not too expensive, and has a nice range and of food.
The experience was great - informative, with great aquariums, and lots of variety.
We spent a good 4 hours there, and I would recommend for anyone interested in the sea, either Individuals or families.

Some areas was closed off but was enjoyable second time there

Beautiful place to visit vast collection of species and story of evolution it's worth a visit.

Really enjoyable experience. Well laid out and plenty of opportunities to see a lots of different fish

Informative and interesting exhibition. Kids love it

What an experience loved it only been twice including today but will definitely be going again. It's a different experience every time you go, there's always something new or something you missed the time before. Kids and adults love it if you haven't been go you'll definitely enjoy it xxx

Brilliant place for the whole family.
Pay once and get a whole year of visiting the Deep for free.

My kids loved it...lots to see and little bits for them to do.

3 pound to park all day .well done hull council .more places should be cheap parking them people will be able to afford to go to places like this more ...and the place is awsome from top to bottom .

A great visitor attraction and educational. Well laid out and interesting displays. Plenty of parking (paid not free) and enough eating places. Staff friendly. Bit tiring with lots of walking and coffees a bit average.

Amazing place!! So many different aquatic species its unbelievable, friendly staff and very clean. A must visit if your nearby.

I like looking at the fish sharks ect and the glass lift and the cheeky penguins. However the gadgets that they have scattered around work and don't so it's not letting you learn about the fish and ect. I was happy when they brought new things to check out there would let you see star fish and ect and pick them up. However the people that show you this will not open the tanks because the lady told me she didn't have the right keys to open the last few tanks.

We really liked the deep. Some of the interactive displays were not working and found that it was a bit too dark to read all the information. Overall though great place and we will go back

Well worth a visit and the cafe is amazing value for money !

Well worth the money very good for children and adults as well

Not the first time we've come here and it'll never be the last. It's a great day out for anyone no matter what. We used the day plus passes we purchased 7 months ago to come in for free and found they'd added new features! New games and new fish. We had a fantastic time. We'd come during school hours so it was pretty quiet and we still managed to spend 2 hours here. Perfect day, friendly staff, never disappointing.

Brilliant day out, not too expensive and you can visit as many times as you like within a year, the cafe is nice and has a good choice

A most interesting place, fantastice for my grandchildren, amazed by what they saw and interaction. A member of staff (the one with an Irish accent) made sure we were well informed about everything, and things to do. A big thank you to him for his attention

Our 3rd visit from scotland. absolutely love it here. love that you get a 12month pass too we will back again soon. by far the best aquarium we have been too

Made the mistake of going in half term, so was busy (mainly a problem to get in, wasn't bad when in there)
Lovely experience, staff super friendly and chatty. The penguins gave an amazing show so to speak (they didn't put on a show they where just doing their thing). Loved it

Fantastic value as after your first visit if you keep your ticket it's free for a year.

Been here twice, great day out for families or friends -was something to do, my favourite part was the bit where the walls are really cold. Also has a large canteen kind of area and decent variety of nice food. Gift shop has lots of stuff too

Amazing. Truly one of the most amazing attractions I've been to.

We dropped into the parent child session that gets you entry before opening. Kirk enjoyed the songs, jumping around like a loon and meeting a few other toddlers.

The deep started Kirk's obsession with fish. He was fascinated as he gazed into every tank. Calling out 'blub blub' as he checked out the fish. From my perspective I was really happy that most of the tanks had windows down to the floor. That meant Kirk could stand on his own feet and I didn't have to keep picking him up.

The main tank is enormous. Sharks and turtles. A couple of big windows, a tunnel and a lift. It's super cool.

Blooming cool.

It is so much fun there, but it is a little scary about the fact it is really near to the number bridge.

Really amazing place to go with kids in your free time.

Division sleepover with amazing Deep staff. The girls had a wonderful, instructive and entertaining time.

Great place to visit especially if you got kids. The precinct is very family friendly and disability access is great.

Not worth an hour drive basically one massive tank all the way down, not enough variety and a waste of money,even the kids were disappointed

A great place to take the kids always friendly staff cafe meals always good and tasty and not expensive x

It's ok. Definitely not worth the hype in my opinion. I have been to other aquarium's/sea life centres that I have preferred. It is very open and therefore incredibly echoey especially when there are 2 school trips present- the noise level was ridiculous. We couldn't hear ourselves think, let alone talk to eachother. We were disappointed with the viewing areas for the penguins and were expecting a much bigger/longer tunnel. The glass lift was a nice touch though.

We visited on Saturday , it was beautiful and easily view-able even on a busy Saturday .The whole place is just amazing and there is a lot to see. There were lots of exhibits & sea creatures that we hadn't seen before. Kids enjoyed lot . It took around 2.5 hours to complete the visit .

Very enjoyable place.
But not as big as I thought it would be.

Always a great visit. Love the place, very educational, we will be definitely going again.

Was a nice walk round but needs more animals as very few really different ones but the turtles were lovely

Good place to lose your self for a hour or two, and not bad for people of all ages

Excellent. Only loses a star for the small size of the viewing areas when watching the penguin and the sharks being fed.

Brilliant trail, interesting facts & amazing fish going back soon

Great day out for the whole family. Nice addition that the ticket can be used as many times as you like for a year.

Lots of animals and they do alot of work looking after them. Even by going you are supporting the conversation of the animals, the penguins are also a nice edition.

Fantastic. Took our 2 year old. He loved all the fish, and the soft play area toward the end.

Fab place, loads to see and do. We went at a quiet time and I imagine there might be quite a bit of queing for the lifts into and out of the exhibition at peak times. Beautiful coral reef and stunning main tank but the smaller things are great as well. We loved the jellyfish.

Good for keeping a family entertained for a couple hours.

Nice idea, but much too small aquariums and enclosures for the penguins.
It is made aware of plastic and garbage, but in the shop a lot of plastic toys are sold in addition to bamboo stalks and reusable cutlery, cups, etc.

Either or, decide.

Brilliant family day out with plenty to do and see, picnic area so you can take your own food and also two cafes if you're wanting to buy on the day

Brilliant facility, my little boy loved the whole experience and we will be back again. Fantastic day.

Always a treat to visit with the children and such good value considering you can go back for 12 months for free.

Fascinating afternoon at The Deep recently.

Main highlight is seeing the massive main tank with many fish including sharks and rays swimming around. The glass tunnel underneath is another highlight.

Interesting to learn the origin of species and realise how little time modern fish and animals have really been around.

I love thus place
Great for all ages and so informative xx

My little boy is 2 and he loved it and also my 7 year old daughter still loves it

Great educational afternoon with young or old children. Friendly and helpful staff as well. Once you pay they take a photograph and your able to return for free for the next year.
