When i first went to the deep a couple of years ago i was disappointed came back recently and had a brill day out . the tanks are beautiful with the shaks and stingrays and you also get to watch the ish feed. We also enjoyed the 3d movie about dinosaurs of the deep that was great. although you couldnt... more

The Deep is basically split in two very different parts. When you get in you start walking through a very dark "exhibition" area. Which is basically an audiovisual learning course, telling you about the seas etc. If you have kids this may well be interesting for them - to us it was not. And several school groups visiting raised the... more

Spent a rainy couple of hours in The Deep yesterday. Its a little of the beaten track if you are on foot, but well worth the walk in my opinion. I'd heard from friends that it was well worth a visit, and they were not wrong. Its an impressive building, on the banks of the Humber, with nice outdoor seating... more

We visited the Deep and I must say we really enjoyed it, we saw plenty of fish, sharks & shoals of Tuna, it can get busy in some areas & means backtracking sometimes to see certain exhibits. We really enjoyed the 4D film but the area ought to be more away from the people walking through as you cannot hear... more

I've been to the deep many times and always enjoyed it. I don't know what that previous reviewer was talking about when they said it is only aimed at 7-8yr old!! It is suitable for everyone. There is pleanty of info on the fish if you want to read it, or very helpful and knowlegable staff that can talk you... more

Last year we bought a season pass to the deep. Its a relatively expensive day out (or half day out) if you pay a single entrance, but the season ticket allows access for a whole yera for about the same cost as 2 and a half entrances. It also includes a free parking permit for aftre ?3 (i think) which... more

Try and get there as close to opening times as possible. Avoid school holidays if you need to avoid the crus, but Sunday morning early on is quiet. The children will marvel at the Basking sharks, and if you want to know more, just ask. At the Deep the staff are particually friendly and keen to help, unlike many UK... more

Visited with toddler who was really unimpressed, as was I. Blue planet aquarium far more interactive and young child friendly. The place was heaving, and although the deep tank had some very impressive BIG fish they were hard to see and few and far between.(The tanks not the fish) For quite a large expense its not that thrilling. We stayed... more

We've just visited The Deep, and have to put it as one of the best aquariums we have ever visited. In our opinion it rivals the Monterrey Bay aquarium, California, which we visited last year (reputedly one of the best in the world). The massive open-plan coral reef was amazing and packed full of colourful fish, and is the first... more
