I'd been looking forward to going to Blue Reef Tynemouth for a while - it's on my doorstep and I thought it might be a fun and interesting way to spend an afternoon. Sadly, I left feeling rather underwhelmed. We spent a total of 50 minutes here (including the time queuing to pay), and I can't really recommend it. I... More

First, not a good value for money at all. Has some aqatic animals and some monkeys on display. Wouldn't take an hour to keep the kids busy with the tour. Smelly place.
