The Bermuda aquarium, zoo and museum is an inexpensive attraction but there is really not much there. Give the price ($10 for all three) it is good value from money but the aquarium is really disappointing and the zoo is tiny. Unfortunately the staff is not particularly knowledgeable, when we asked a question about one of the fish we were... More

I have visited Bermuda many times but have not bothered with the aqauarium until my latest visit. I was pleased I did, but it'snot something I'd do again. It stretches to more than an aquarium with a zoo "out the back", if you're into zoos then it might be for you. I found the information more interesting than the live... More

Having seen some of the best, I couldn't expect too much. It was nice, with some interesting species. The zoo was small and not well populated, but again, a cute little diversion. The seal show was just a feeding, and they were kept in a small area like the dolphins at Dolphin Quest. More

kept being amazed by all there is to see at this place. really a terrific set of exhibits indoor and outdoor plus play areas for kids. we spent several hours here and it was certainly our best day. this is just a well thought through, not expensive sight. after spending a lot of time at the beach this is really...

Don't be fooled by the modest entrance - there is so much to see and do here! It is is a glorious position on Harrington Sound, and other that viewing the wonderful aquarium and zoo creatures, you may even spot an eagle ray or 2 from the multiple view points. Truly wonderful! The kids will love it! More

Not very big, par for the course in Bermuda, but worth a visit. they have recreated a coral reef and it is stunning. I am a scuba diver and had just dove the day before. They have a great collection to local marine life. Plus there is still the other exhibits of non marine wildlife from all over the world.... More

Wow!! This place is great. Starts out with huge turtles in an exhibit located outside the museum. Friendly, informative staff. $10 for adults $5 for children. Great variety of fish, sharks, eels and lobsters in the main exhibit building. Clean viewing area with informative charts discribing the exhibits. Shark tank was great fun with mirrors to enhance the viewing area.... More

Very mixed selection of aquatic and land based animals-and the turtles can be seen before paying a small fee to see the rest. Great for kids and Mums and Dads. More

I read on their website that you can book a curator's behind the scenes tour. We booked before we left and we had the best tour we have ever had of similar facilities. Vanaqua, for example, charges a lot for such a tour and it pales in comparison -- this tour was included in the admission cost ($25 for 2... More

Nothing here that you haven't seen before, but it is a good place to spend a few hours if it is cold and windy and not beach weather. We love aquariums and usually check them out when visiting new cities. The zoo part is very basic; no lions, tigers or bears. The Golden Lion Tamarins were probably the coolest animal.... More
