The Deep, Kingston-upon-Hull

We were really impressed with The Deep. We'd held of visiting whilst the Lagoon of Light was refurbished and I'm glad we did as it was one of the highlights. All the tanks are bright and clean, and the fish and animals all appear healthy and happy. As with all aquariums, it's the big tanks that get all the attention, but we found some of the smaller ones caught our eye - we especially enjoyed watching the jellyfish. The building itself is stunning too, and I would recommend walking along the riverfront to view it properly. We also walked into Hull as during 2017 it is the City of Culture and there are a number of installations to visit.

The tour were simple to follow around - so much to see and learn. Amazing for all ages. Fish were well looked after in large tanks. Food in the cafe is all home made and delicious, not too expensive either. I've visited a few times when it's been a rainy day outside and everytime I've thoroughly enjoyed. Also - great pushchair access all round.

We had a great few hours exploring the whole place. You start on the 3rd floor and work you way down which means you don't miss a thing. You get to see all the tanks from several angles which is good. And it's all very clear and well maintained. Lots to see and you can easily spend 3 hours + and still see more on a return visit. My one year old loved this. Seems to be well placed for all ages. You got or old! Very much worth a visit. Tickets... are for a year which is really good. Cues can be long but they go quick. No more than 20min cue. (Seems silly tho as we booked online first yet could not skip the cue)

It's basically an old fashioned aquarium but with only a few very very large tanks. It's cleverly laid out so it feels much bigger than it is and one admission let's you in all year. Bank holidays though have queues right out the door and full car parks.

Fabulous day out with our childminding group of nearly 50 people. Booking as a group was straight forward and stress free. Kids didn't stop talking about their day to their parents when they got home. Plenty to see, play area to let off steam, tanks where children could touch star fish and crabs, picnic benches inside so we didn't have to spend a fortune on food. Reasonably priced gift shop.
