The aquarium was welcoming, and the staff were informative. All the tanks had creatures in them, and the meerkats were a lovely surprise. It is a small place however, and having set aside a whole day for it, we were a little frustrated we were finished in just over an hour. Definitely worth a visit with the kids. It is... More

My mum and I have just returned from a long weekend and visited the Aquarium for a couple of hours. Not the most massive place but we weren't expecting anything like killer whales or anything! Good range of things to see and lots of educational information. Particularly liked the meerkats and the Longhorn Cowfish which seemed to interact with us!!!!... More

Decided to go today while we were in St Andrews for a meal. The fish were great to see in the tanks and the meerkats were really amusing, the way they stare at you. The only downside was the seals, who were in a single tank with nothing of interest to do or play with - looks like the tank... More

St Andrews Aquariun is technically a zoo, a good place to vist and the meerkats are the highlight for me. Not as good as the Loch Lomond Aquarium or Deep Sea World. More

Was a weekend break in St. Andrews for my girlfriend and I. Being a bit skeptical at looking at the size of the place, I inquired at the reception and was re-assured there was a lot to see, only to be further disappointed. The advertisements were quite misleading displaying blown up images of a shark the size of jaws, when... More

When searching for things to do in St. Andrews, we decided to visit the aquarium with my friends, as the internet presentation looked quite attractive. When we came there, our first impression was, "Is that it?" Not getting influenced by its outer appearance, we went inside only to get even further disappointed. The place was tiny and run down, the... More
