I visited the aquarium on Tuesday 21st July along with a lot of other people. In my opinion too many people were inside - it is evidently licensed to have 3000 people. What made it worse is that there is a lack of signs indicating the route to the normal EXIT, passageways blocked by people using pushchairs that should either... more

As ever with these sorts of attractions, ignore the one-star and five-star reviews - the real story is in the writeups from normal folk who don't have any vested interest, but neither are they typical moaners who just give everything rotten reviews. The facts are these: if the idea of looking around an aquarium appeals to you, and especially if... more

Most of the interactive exhibits do not work, and rarely do, this is a national disgrace never mind the national aquarium. We live in Plymouth - will the management of this rip off please get their fingers out more

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

I was looking forward to the trip to the National Marine Aquarium again as I had a wonderful time just over 2 years ago. I especially enjoyed the the coral reef tank as it was mesmerising. I could have sat there all day and watched it. The only downfall was I went on a weekend and it was a too... more

Very good fun for people of all ages. Fun and any young ones cna learn a thing or two about different ypes of fish and the ocean etc. Many diferent varieities of fish, large tanks, views from under the tank, sharks, rock pools, turtles. The lot. Good value for money, and a nice gift shop at the end (which is... more

Incredible, loved every minute and can't recommend highly enough. Great value for money - half the price of a sea life centre admission and 10 times better! Displays were fascinating and had obviously cost a HUGE amount of money, I could have spent all day there! Do agree with comments on cafe though - prices were shocking even for a... more

Fabulous place. Beautiful displays and helpful staff. A credit to Plymouth and the best aquarium I've been to...and I've been to a few!! more
