A mixed bag!

A bit of a mixed bag review coming up! To start, the price is very reasonable, particularly when it's a years pass. This is a very good deal and appreciated as a family. That said, as a paying customer, I expect the interactive things to...More

Matt's UK trip

A fantastic place to take the kids whether teens or littles. We had a fab couple hrs wandering around and checking out all the tanks. Even better we can go for free for a whole year. Great value for money and fantastic experiences for many.

Great place

Great place to spend the afternoon with friends or family. Amazing animals and there is a lift that gives fantastic experience of what it is like to be underneath the water with sharks! Definitely worth visiting!

I do know that this is difficult to answer but we are coming to Hull for 4 whole days on July 9th. Is there a quieter time of day at your attraction and is any day better than the others. I told you it was difficult to a answer! Thank you.

Hi! Obviously this can depend on the day but as a general guide for a quieter experience we do suggest visiting outside our busy periods of 11am and 3pm. With Thanks The Deep Crew

I am petrified of heights so glass lifts and "drops" not my scene. Looks as if all huge glass windows with views of drops. Is this the case as may have to miss the trip.

AnswerShow all 7 answers

There are stairs available, but the lift is brilliant and enhances your trip and I get vertigo badly and petrified of heights, but I can easily handle the lift!
