Went to visit the 'new turtle' and were enthralled. Staff were friendly and polite, if slightly overrun by hundreds of customers ! Will perhaps return in the quieter months for a more relaxed visit. More

A bit on the pricey side but we managed to use some vouchers we had so it cost a little less. Wonderful to see such huge fish as sharks and mantras etc. The gift shop could do with updating and a better display. Feeding time was great to see. More

Thus is a really good interactive day out if you have kids.

Definitely worth a visit with kids, my little boy enjoys it every time we go. It's not a particularly big centre compared with others, but there are numerous things to see and will keep the kids mesmerised! More
