The place is fairly expensive at 50quid for a family. Note: charging £13 or so for a 3 year is taking the proverbial somewhat. The place is quite small but the sharks was amazing. Feels like the tanks were just a little too small for some of the fish. Worryingly so the sea lions look depressed and the enclosure was dirty and tired. I feel incredibly sorry for them. We went to get a bit of lunch but we’re shocked at the prices for a baguette and some chips!!! 8.95 and 4.25 respectively.

Visited as a youngster with my Grandparents so excited to bring my kids (2 & 6) back as remembered really enjoying it. Very disappointed today. Between entry, lunch & fuel felt like a waste of money almost £100 later! Agree with previous reviewers - tired, run down, poor displays, and besides sharks in the tunnel it was extremely boring! Also felt terrible for the seals in the tiny enclosure with filthy looking water (even my 2 year old said "don't like it"). We spent 2 hours, including lunch but that was really spinning it out given the price & the hour long drive to get there. Spend a fraction of the cost enjoying one of the many other attractions in Fife. Will certainly not be returning!

My partner and I visited on 13th November with our son. It was his first birthday. We’d had a family gathering the previous day and - it being a Monday - we decided to take him somewhere for the day. I used to go to Deep Sea World with family members when I was little so was looking forward to it. Like others have said - we were so disappointed. The tunnel is still the best part but the inside of the tank was really dirty. We walked around twice as there was very little else to do. There were hardly any attractions to see. The seals are in a very tiny area which was just sad to see. The toilets and baby change facility were dirty and smelly. Hand driers in the ladies weren’t working. We Milton wiped everything multiple times because we had a young child with us and weren’t confident anything was clean. Staff had no enthusiasm and we actually hardly seen any. We only saw the lady at the reception desk, staff in the cafe and one lady feeding fish in a tank. The cafe was overpriced. The food was fine but we paid £37 for two meals (burgers) and a kid’s meal with drinks. On top of the £35 we paid for entry, we were so disappointed with our day. Thankfully our little boy enjoyed his 30 mins walking around the attractions as he doesn’t yet know better! Sea Life Aquarium in Loch Lomond was much more enjoyable than this. Appreciate that places have been hit hard by covid but I wouldn’t spend £72 (plus fuel) on Deep Sea World again. Sad to see.

In the 5yrs since I last visited with other grandchild, there has been no improvements. The whole place looks shabby, except for the gift shop!! which is all shiny and inviting, inviting you to spend more money, which as a Granny it’s a pleasure to do so. After spending around £70 on lunches, we couldn’t buy a yoghurt for granddaughter, as they can’t be sold separately, as they come as part of a meal deal, which was cheaper than the kiddies meal we bought for her. It was quite a disappointing visit. Especially as I remember bringing my children, where there was a wee touch pool, where they could touch starfish etc: there is little to no interaction for the kids. We live 5mins from Sea Life Loch Lomond, which is by far a better day out, although admittedly a smaller establishment.

Drove 90 miles to visit the aquarium. I’m sad to say we came away just feeling disappointed and like it wasn’t worth the journey or money. The tunnel itself is the best feature but I remember it being fuller/better when we’d visited years ago. The fish & reptiles they have are lovely and look well but there was just far less than we expected. It almost felt like we’d missed an area because we’d walked around so quickly. The seal enclosure isn’t great visually. The cafe is overpriced and looks basic. The receptionists we seen were great but the other cafe/shop staff seemed uninterested. Overall, the whole place looks run down and needs some serious investment. It could be fantastic. There are other aquariums in the country that are far better value for money. St Andrews aquarium was better and even though it is specifically fish/crustaceans from the North Sea, Macduff Aquarium is brilliant and less than £10 for an adult!

(Visited without reading trip advisor!) Whilst we had a nice, albeit short, visit probably wouldn't recommend due to price/ value ratio. Got round in under an hour. The tunnel is really cool, could probably do with more information points etc but sharks, fish and rays to watch. The rest of the aquarium is a bit meh, not huge amounts to actually interact with. Everywhere is dirty! Years and years of dust in places. Kids were concerned about the 3 seals, how small and run down their enclosure is, but a great talk by the keeper. Toilets are fair but visited on a school day, so literally no one else was there. Café's expensive and mediocre at best. Gift shop well stocked and lit - unlike the rest of the place, no surprise there but might need to speculate to accumulate - invest back into the aquarium and you'll get happier animals - happier visitors.

Decent enough for a half hour/one hour visit but I honestly feel that the prices need reduced if you want to be busy. Entry is a bit steep and the food prices are ridiculous. People would maybe be more encouraged to visit and to get food if the prices were more reasonable.

Easy to book online and free parking! The place is tired looking and needs a full face lift and investment but the staff are hard working, dedicated and mainly young! Food is pricey, £5 for a scone is ridiculous. Lots of prams and buggy’s and families not leaving their buggies etc in the designated areas. Great to see so many various fishes and the staff do presentations every 30 minutes or so. It’s an interesting listen and school kids love it but doesn’t seem fun for under 5s who have a short attention span, are tired, hungry and their parents are desperate for a vape! We enjoyed our day and seeing the 3 bridges is always a treat. Not sure we would rush back but well worth a visit as long as you’re prepared with food and snacks.

The actual fish experience was OK but the lunch was an actual farce! The children’s sandwich - was unhealthy white bread with a slice of processed cheese - the cheapest you could possibly provide - and the kids deal was £6!!! No ham sandwiches were available ! A total rip off !!!

We visited as a birthday treat for our 9 and 7 year old grandsons. The boys were so excited to see everything they zoomed round quite quickly in the morning. We went elsewhere for lunch so can’t comment on the cafe. We went back in the afternoon for a more leisurely visit. The young lady who gave a talk in the main hall was exceptionally good at answering two very curious boys questions. The tunnel is fabulous, we went round twice, we specially loved getting up close to the sharks and rays. As other reviewers have commented, adults will notice that it needs a bit of an update decoratively. We wanted to give the children an experience they would remember. Job done!
