Paid over £50, pre booked and arrived early in the morning to still queue for over 1 and a half hours and be out within 20 minutes walking round a packed solid dark tunnel. Would not recommend to anyone. Tanks are small and over crowded. Staff couldn't care less. Terrible, shocking, aweful.

Arrived ten minutes prior to opening and wasn't too busy for a Saturday. We had kellogg adult go free vouchers,so only paid for two kids,£30 I think. We were able to walk through without it being crowded. We were able to get up close to every display/tank. Our children enjoyed it, but did think some of the info boards could... More

this is ok, but quite expensive for the experience, better to buy a ticket as part of a package of tourist tickets, its not as big as i expected so you can go through it quite quickly

We got there for 10am as it opened and there was no queue at all. We used the Kellogg's vouchers so adults went free and only paid for 2 kids as the other two were under 3 (well one was just 3 but who's counting) which worked out as good value. The displays are great and there is something for... More

We visited on a Wednesday (during term-time) so luckily it wasn't too busy. We arrived a little after lunch and used a '2 for 1' voucher with our train tickets, so didn't book in advance, but we were admitted straight away. The attraction is quite dark throughout (so you can see the fish better!) but there is plenty of room... More

Visited this as an off chance when in London with my boyfriend. Wonderful fish and lots to see. Not many places to eat inside and it was very busy when we visited. Although it was so much to see we loved it!

Our 2.5 year old kid was simply awestruck by the aquarium. Just the experience of seeing his excitement was awesome, & left us with great memories. Luckily when we visited there was not much of a crowd, & we had a great time as a family. There is a lot to see & several different species of fishes. A great... More

There is a lot to see - highlights are the sharks and the penguins. Great place for children to enjoy the sealife creatures. Family friendly place.

I'm a bit suprised at the negative reviews for this place, yes it's crowded but come on this is London, it's not going to be quiet! We went at around 10am on a monday and didn't find it too busy, so maybe try that. Some of the fish are amazing, could have looked at them for hours. It's hard to... More
