Positives:

  • Infant admission free: Children under 3 enter free with a paying adult.
  • Stroller and wheelchair access: Smooth ramps and moving sidewalks connect every exhibit.

Challenges:

  • Crowded peak times: Midday weekends can feel tight in tunnels when strollers fill the path.
  • Limited seating: Few benches in some galleries mean you may need to stand during shows.

Very cool! My son loved it today. Loved the moving sidewalk and all the different sea life. We went on a Tuesday in the summer around 12pm...clearly there is no limit on head count as it was packed! We were able to get around but the climbing area for kids was totally understand safe. They need to monitor this more honestly. We will be back but there is a lot of safety issues.

Amazing day out with the kids at the aquarium. My son is obsessed with sharks and so for him to be able to see them up close was so exciting!

Wonderful experience, especially for kids! You can spend a whole afternoon there : there’s a lot to see! The promenade underneath the shark tank where we are surrounded by fish, turtles and stingrays is magnificent! The playground is a nice touch and allows kids to let out their energy before we keep on visiting. I loved the way the jellyfish were presented, and my 4yo too! We really had a fun day...
