Apparently its undertrading because although initially a novelty its is over-rated by having the tag 'National' and unless you have a deep knowledge or marine biology etc it is not presented well enough for the average or moderately intelligent and inquisitive visitor to get the best out of it. i fmoney doesn't matter you have half a day to kill... more

I can't believe some of the reviews here are for the same place we visited last week. Best aquarium in Europe????? Whilst I'm no expert on aquariums i've been to quite a few and this to me was by far the worst value. My first issue is that it cost us £33.50 for a family of four to get in... more

This is extortionate and does nothing to encourage tourism in... more
