Had a great couple hours exploring round here i loved the jellyfish room the best. Very accessible for all levels of abilities, plenty of toilets around and a cafe for food. Very colourful and alot of interactive displays for children. The gift shop at the end is great.
Amazingly managed spaces. The best part is - if you visit for once - the ticket usually remains valid for a year; i e. you can visit as many times as you want for a year with a single ticket for once. It is very well maintained, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed this place and will definitely be going back. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and there was so much to look at. Absolutely LOVED the penguins. Great place for adults and kids alike. My only small criticism is that I wish I knew that you get a yearly ticket with the adoption packs, had I known this I would have preferred to buy the kit rather than just the ticket.
I visited The Deep in Hull today, and overall, it was a pleasant experience, though there are a few things to keep in mind. Personally, I feel the ticket price is a bit high, especially considering what’s inside. However, one good thing is that the ticket is valid for a whole year and allows multiple entries, which makes it worthwhile if you plan to visit again. Inside, the aquarium is clean and well-maintained, but I would suggest not to expect too much in terms of variety or size of sea creatures. There were baby sharks, which were interesting to watch, and the penguins were absolutely adorable—definitely the highlight of the visit. The jellyfish displays were beautiful and mesmerizing under the lights. However, I was expecting to see more large or medium-sized fish, which were mostly missing. The surroundings are nice, offering lovely views of the river and Hull cityscape. The cafeteria serves good British food, and it’s a nice spot to relax for a while after walking through the exhibits. Parking could be a challenge on weekends—the car park was full when I arrived, probably because it was Sunday, and it’s also quite expensive at £5. Overall, it’s worth a one-time visit, especially for families with kids.
Really cool experience that our kids (3 and 1) both really enjoyed. We both enjoyed it as the parents too! Lots of very interesting fish to see as well as lots of information/educational displays. The cafe wasn't great, but the experience itself is very good. The entry fee also includes any number of returns within a year.
The deep is a gem on the coast. You will need to take a day to go around here as there are 100s of different interactive exhibitions to go along side the tanks. It's amazing to have a museum like this outside of London honestly and it really is a great reason to visit Hull. I highly recommend this museum 5 stars.
Excellent quality aquarium positioned on the Humber just down from the bridge. Good size car park but you do have to pay £3 even with a full price ticket. Lots to see and interactive with inside, nicely laid out with plenty of space, clean tanks and happy looking fish! The main tank is pretty amazing and they make the most of it with plentiful ways to view it including a glass bubble elevator ride at the end! Good cafe with hot and cold food plus a brilliant, well stocked gift shop on the exit. We stayed 3 hours including a quick cafe stop. Highly recommended.
What a great aquarium and museum! Kids absolutely loved the cute penguins. The big tank was really impressive, from all the angles as you walk through all the floors of the building. We didn't get to use the elevator with a view, but staircase did just the job. And even better I think as we had more time to look at the fish from every floor. Café upstairs has amazing view over harbour. Plenty of toilets and seating areas, all very clean and tidy. Staff everywhere happy to answer questions and tell kids lots of interesting facts. Lots of interactive tables and screens. Gift shop has a lot of stuff too. We couldn't get time slot to come in online, but they were happy to sell tickets once we have arrived at the desk. Tickets are valid for 12 months after any amount of visits after the initial one. Definitely place to bring kids for couple of hours!
