The oceanarium contains quite an interesting selection of fish that are found worldwide and although looks small from the outside is quite large once you get inside. The aquariums are well maintained and the whole experience is good. Definitely worth visiting on a wet day or to get away from the summer crowds on the beach. more

Like I said, its an aquarium like alot of other aquariums. Its quite decent without being specacular. Please note if you do go in the height of summer when its raining you may well find yourself joined by several 1000 other people. more

Niente di che. Piccolo, pochi pesci. Niente di eclatante. But I miss Bournemouth more
