Absolutely love this aquarium! So so many things to see, plenty of open spaces and breaks in between. Accessible for all. Staff were so lovely and heard many informational talks which were great.

Made it very easy to get in thou...

The jellyfish room was stunning, like floating through a neon dream. And the shark tunnel? Ge...

Overall, it was an enjoyable outing — the kids were especially fascinated by the turtle shell presentation and loved the chance to touch it. The ray tank was another highlight, and the large aquarium with sharks and sea turtle...
