FamilyVerified booking5 days ago5/5Absolutely loved going to the Aquaruim. The exhibits were truly breathtaking and incredible. The staff was so courteous and lovely. From the start to finish it was amazing. The only issue was finding everything as not proper signage and map is unclear. My daughter found the perfect soft toy at the end of day.VVictoria D
FamilyVerified bookingJul 20264/5The aquarium was amazing, the booking process was simple and easy but there was information left out that would have been helpful. We were unaware we couldn't take a pram through which with children the ages we went with would have been nice to know!JJan M
