Wonderful aquarium with lots to see! We went about two weeks ago and it was lovely and quiet. Even with the one way system, we didnt feel rushed or like we needed to hurry. There are plenty of hand sanitiser stations to help you keep safe too. They have some very pretty tanks here too and theres so much to see. All in all, a great few hours.

Wonderful time at the aquarium. Even with Covid it felt very safe and not too busy.Will definitely return

Really nice and great for even the little ones as most of the Aquarium windows are low down and really easy to get around with a pushchair too.We have gone for the year ticket as my boys love it so much .

Really well presented and amazing variety. Nice cafe and shop.

A nice place to spend a few hours. Clean, informative and interesting exhibits. Was expecting it to be a bit bigger though. Good choice of souvenirs in the gift shops with some high quality plush toys.Staff are friendly. Its useful because once you buy a ticket you can come in and out all day with it.

Great place, had a really good time with my partner. Worth sticking around for the giant Pacific octopus feeding at 3.30pm its amazing! Lots of plants and other animals like frogs and tarantulas too!

Great place for a short visit maybe a few hours tops but certainly couldnt spend a whole day in there, plus side was upon entry you recieved a hand stamp to allow you back in all day. We went because we had free entry but looking at the prices I probably wouldnt pay to get in. Clean and tidy with friendly and informative staff. Toilets needed attention but it was extremely busy as it was half term.

The aquariums, water quality and fish help were amazingly good.Just a shame people didnt follow social distancing guidelines

Good to see a place open and doing good service. The exhibits are beautiful. You can spend a nice few hours walking around and exploring aquarium. Good family entertainment. Worth a visit.

Exactly as advertised. Loads of educational fun and kinda sad to see those magnificent creatures stuck in tanks; but they were clean and well fed. The little one enjoyed it... it gave me a bit of a depression

Love going to aquariums and really enjoyed our time here. Its just a little expensive given its size. But staff are friendly and helpful.

We went as a couple, reasonably priced in comparison to other aquariums out there, staff we very nice and clearly cared a lot about the animals, lots to see and definitely recommend seeing the octopus. We had a really nice time - highly recommend if youre in the area.

Very disappointing for the cost of a ticket. Nice hour but not at the price of a ticket for a full day at a theme park.Walk through tunnel was nothing like the images they show on brochures etc.. No large sharks swimming overhead for sure.Overall a nice experience but at a third of the price.

Amazing, recommend annual pass. My little one loves it there!

Don’t mean 3 stars as a slight. Basically, it was quite expensive considering the size. Our son was maybe too young (3yr) but we were done in less than an hour and we went around twice! Still, what was there was really great and the staff were excellent.

Wonderful, informative exhibits. Staff were friendly but respectful of social distancing rules. Covid guidelines generally well followed. I consider it to be a bit on the expensive side as its a 1.5-2hr visit sort of place but otherwise no other complaints.

It was amazing. Much bigger than we thought. We walked round tge whole building with my little grandaughter who knew a lot more than we did. After lunch she wanted to go round again which we were able to do as the ticket last the whole day.

Excellent morning with the family. Wide variety of aquatic wildlife, well presented. Lots of interesting plants too! Entertaining for all.

Nicely structured aquarium with lots of species for fish lovers. It looks like a small one from outside, but actually its big. There is no car parking for aquarium, but you can find many private car parks nearby. The closing time is 4pm on weekdays which could have been extended till 6pm.

Lovely helpful staff. Exits and entrances clearly marked and any big spaces clearly cordoned off to make sure you stay on the path. However, no staff making sure that customers wear masks while inside the aquarium

Amazing smaller Aquarium the kids can handle with just the right amount of fun and fantastic facts. Dont forget to wear NEON and WHITE for the black lit rooms, the kids will love it! A whispering secret... We didnt even bring the kids and went as Kids at Heart, making it an amazing walk through and time to really explore. Fair pricing as well.

I was really impressed with how covid safe the Aquarium was. Very well designed for a one way system, it wasnt overcrowded, and we didnt have to touch anything on our way round. Doors all open, ticket scanning done through a screen, it made me feel very comfortable and the kids loved it - well be back!

Aquariums are like marmite, you either love them or hate them and nobody will change your mind. As aquariums go, this is pretty good -- I prefer it to the one in London.

Great few hours out, lovely aquariums and exhibits. Clean, tidy and helpful staff.Parking very close and amble food/drink venues in the area nearby.Visited since lockdown and lots of sanitation points aswell as a one way system in use. Also reduced customer numbers so nice and quiet when inside.

Ok so let me start by saying that I HATE being negative and have never given a bad review in my life... but I feel have like I have to, for the sake of the poor Octopus at this aquarium. Octopuses are extremely intelligent and need a lot of space stimulation, but this poor thing had the tiniest tank with barely anything in it... to see the way he was curled up in the corner all on his own was heartbreaking! It seems so cruel and unnecessary to keep him in that tiny tank, it islike a prison for him. Other than that, the aquarium was great, but something needs to be done for this poor animal

Really good value with plenty to see.Staff knowledgeable and friendly.Other customers unable to control children is a tragedy, always.

If the tickets were £5 then this aquarium would be fairly priced. However I paid over £15 each for tickets and unfortunately this aquarium was drastically overpriced. Might be better if you have very young children? But we were in and out within 45 minutes and very disappointed. If you have the option, Plymouth aquarium is much better.

Visited for my partners birthday had a lovely time. All worries left us once there about covid. Very well set out, clean and tidy as always. Will be back once again!

Very good experience with some stunning marine life , took around a hour to get around , it was 40 pound for 2 adults and 1 child reasonable price, under 3s go free.

In Hinton for a stay cation popped into Bristol and went to the Aquarium. Really nice. Good ticket price, great for the little ones. Educational. Would recommend .

I was a bit concerned about going here as I was not sure how much that would be on offer for the price but I was pleasantly surprised by the bang for your buck.I have given some examples in my review in the form of pictures and videos but there is a lot more on offer.There is plenty to see and all of it very beautiful. There is much to learn here if that is your thing with information placards by all species and tanks. I however was there for the sights. There is plenty to see and with all the colours it is very peaceful and therapeutic.We spent a couple of hours here so it is worth it and if you have children then you would probably get more out of it as they have things to do for children also.I think I could say that I would go back.

Really interesting place with some large tanks and lovely creatures to watch.Seeing the different types of ray, big piranhas, turtles, sharks and an array of other cool fish and sea creatures was fascinating.We had an enjoyable day wandering around plus a lovely lunch in their cafe (which was a reasonable price thanks to the governments half price scheme, but would have been a rip off otherwise, although thats usually expected in places like this).I was unable to give 5 stars due to the octopus. They had a video playing describing how intelligent these amazing animals are, then they had a large octopus in a tank that was far too small for it and offered it little room to move. Most of the place seemed really good but this one animal stood out for me as wrong and spoiled the day somewhat.

Excellent day out for both adults and children

A brilliant place to visit excellent education values for kids loved every minute there

Very educational for the younger students and a mass of various fish ... you need to see the octopus

Great family fun. My 2years old niece really enjoyed it

Sad to say that this place is a waste of time.The pictures look great online but inside is a major disappointment.Charged £16.50 each for an adult and it took us 30 minutes to walk around. When you compare to Plymouth Aquarium and other places, this really is a poor show. Save yourself the money!Also the giant octopus looks so unhappy and the tank is tiny and there is nothing in there he can use to build anything and has to sleep exposed, which they don’t do in their natural habitat. Tragic.

Saw some new things compared to the Birmingham one so it was pretty cool, enjoyed my stay. Social distancing is tricky considering its not supervised but when I went there were no people at all so that wasnt an issue.

Really good day out! Staff were lovely and really well organised with one way system, social distancing measures in place and lots of sanitiser stations on the way around.

Perfect rainy day activity. Kept a 3yr old entertained for a whole hour!

Great little Aquarium with a vast array of exhibits! Well worth a visit.

Great place for kids

Nice place to go, nice colours

Small compared to other Aquariums ive been to but really nice walk for an hour or two with kids

Id give more stars but the octopus tank is far too small. Its sad to see such intelligent life in whats basically a prison cell.

Quite a small aquarium for the price however the outside parts were a nice change to the aquariums weve been to in the past and the water of the tanks were amazingly clean and brighton enough to see the fish inside (other aquariums weve been to have been quite dark and made vision tricky with reflecting tank glass!) didnt take us long to get around unfortunately and it was quite busy in there with many people not distancing themselves making it awkward for others but, our toddler enjoyed himself and at the end of the day thats all what matters!

It is expensive and small. The whole experience revolves around one large tank really..there are lots of other smaller tanks but we found it rather underwhelming Im afaid. We had just as much fun with our granddaughter at the place that sells fish on the way to Bath( sorry dont know the name) and that was free. So £30.00 is a lot of money . If you had lots of children omg it would be so expensive and really not worth it you can walk around it ..even slowly in under 1 hour.

A couple amazing large tanks with a variety of fish, othe neat exhibits, a little shorter than other aquariums ive visited

Fantastic place to take children, very educational for all ages! Well worth a visit! Can buy tickets online at a discounted price also.

Lovely trip, parking close by (Millennium Car Park)

Variety of sea creatures, good layout

Small but brilliant, its a perfect location to take children to in a rainy day

Not an aquarium of international caliber but a nice place to spend 45min to 1 hour on a rainy day. The tropical plants were lovely too.

This place is good for adults and children all fish were easy to see and so many different varieties well worth going.

The best part for me and the wife were the plants. The kids enjoyed climbing and going around in general. We have been meaning to tick this place off our list of places to visit with the kids. We were well excited and paid over £60. Frankly speaking, any of the Maindenhead aquariums will provide a better selection of fishes and viewing. Our experience was indeed epitome of underwhelming! Gutted! Annoyed with the pricing the most! Does not reflect on the value nor experience. Again, I would go as far as saying epitome of rip-off! Its true value is no more than £15 for a family, few pounds per person at the very best. Wouldnt recommend it at all. My in-house natural aquarium aquaescape is far more interesting, and I probably have as many fishes as they do per fresh water fish collection.

Reasonably priced and plenty to do. We spent about 2 hours looking around and the kids were entertained the entire time. Grown ups had plenty to read up on too. Several times throughout the day the centre held feeding sessions and interaction sessions for guests to watch. Its well laid out and you wander through following a set route so no getting lost, missing parts or backtracking.All in all a fab couple of hours and well worth a visit!

Brilliant, went here with my daughter and we both enjoyed the aquarium and facilties. You can spend 1 or 2 hours at this place of you take your time

Nice for a one off, planned there for a day out but was done in half. Biggest lobster I have ever seen though

The aquarium was a really fun day out! Soo many species. What a lovely world we live in. Learnt about a number of things. Would recommend as a day out. And I loved that we were able to go through the aquarium again and again all day long. Fascinating and beautiful creatures.

Wonderful aquarium with activities throughout the day. No parking at the aquarium, but plenty of car parks nearby. The millennium square car park was cheaper than some of the other nearby spaces, and just a tiny walk from the aquarium.

Was really good and plenty to see and learn just wish their was a little more

The ticket sales woman was unhelpful.You need to have installed QR scanner app on your phone to buy tickets.Better put a sign for that at the entrance ,as is a que at the ticket desk(was Saturday) and you need to sort that before you pay.Apart from that is a nice place

Amazing place, dont miss the feeding time with the Rays.A fantastic place for all the family.Its the third time we have visited.The fish are kept in spotlessly clean conditions.Its very informative too.A cafe and lots of clean toilets.

The animals are plentiful however the aquarium isnt very large at all. We walked (slowly, I might add) around in 30 minute. We ended up going round again just to try and get some kind of value for our money. There is a reason why your ticket allows you to visit the whole day and thats why.There are ramps throughout the aquarium so those in wheelchairs or families with pushchairs have easy access to the whole aquarium.Unfortunately I dont feel the ticket price reflects the time you can actually spend there however its understandable its needed for upkeep etc

Maybe its not big but well made, its a nice place to take your kids and show them a little bit of exotic nature. Loved it

Smaller than expected and got through it within 45 mins, so I think the admissions is a bit overpriced even buy online in advance. Plenty of animals with basic information on display. Overall I did I enjoy it? Yes. Would I go back? Probably not.

Really worth a visit. Excellent venue, stunning marine life & exotic plants

Enjoyed the tropical feel. Was a bit small, however

I love both Saltwater and tropical fishes they have. The price is affordable compared to Sealife.

Very nice place

Amazing Aquarium very clean and enough space to social distance. Staff also doing a great job remind people to wear face coverings.

Great place to visit. Excellent social. Distancing, great value for money.

One of the most beautiful and complete aquarium I visited.

Not a lot to see. Better to spend money on London Sealife Experience

Lovely place to visit. The place is clean and tidy and lovely to walk around. Thought it would be a little bigger but still a wonderful day out

Set up well for covid, can go round it multiple times on the same day. Kids love it!

Great variety of sea life. Colourful tank displays. Plenty of hand sanitizer and social distancing in place.

Lovely staff and cafe. Good variety of fish and sea life

Pretty small aquarium, not much going on here. I wouldnt say it was worth the entrance as an adult. Its definitely geared more towards children under 10.What sets them apart from other aquariums are the talks and shows they host throughout the day. Its a bit of a tight space too, if you end up during peak times, youll have a hard time getting through and really enjoying yourself.Theres a gift shop and cafe outside. You can also leave and come back whenever within opening hours.You can buy a ticket online, supposedly advertised as being 10% off but then you end up paying the same because of their booking fee and still have to stand in line to get registered. So getting your tickets in advance doesnt bring any added benefit.

Great place to bring small children. Lots of getting up close and good low windows for them to see. Worth being at the octopus at 3pm when it gets fed.

Nice place, quite a few things to see, was very clean and tidy, nice atmosphere. Not really the aquariums fault but there was a school trip while we was there and the children were so loud and crazy we had to walk off and skip a few tanks to get away from the noise. Food and drink prices were ridiculous so just ate at nearby pub afterwards. Overall still had a nice time with our 1 year old daughter.

Really good aquarium with detailed and well presented information about the animals there. All were very well cared for and tanks were clean. It is a little pricey but we really enjoyed it still!

Nice day out, the kids really liked it but a little bit pricey and was expecting a big shark my own fault for not checking first.

Excellent, squeezes a lot into a small space. Kids loved it!

Had a fantastic time here. Disregard the reviews that tell you its expensive and only takes half an hour to go around. We spent 2 and a half hours in awe of all that was here. One of the best layouts of an aquarium weve been to. Definitely be back. The staff were really helpful too.

Great place for all the family.

Very good visit enjoyed seeing all the different fish. Only down side to the aquarium was the gift shop was very overpriced for what was in it.

Lovely place to bring our young children. Spent about an hour here. Good range of marine life on show. Good layout and easy to manoeuvre with a wheelchair or pushchair. They have changing facilities also available and they also have a cafe and gift shop. The ticket allows you to leave and return during the same day so you could go and grab lunch elsewhere if you wanted to.

Really well laid out with great variety of exhibits.

Best aquarium I have been to. Jellyfish, octopus, seahorses. Massive gift shop. Cafe is too expensive though. Location is close to places to eat and other entertainment. Discounts avaliable. Feeding talks given at certain times. Pushchair friendly. We spent 2 hours there.

Very nice place to go .....very interesting..would recommend..

A aquarium that would be perfect for small children and parents but as my experience having kept marine fish , these where very basic , small and easy to maintain / look after but having said that each aquarium was kept extremely clean and had brilliant viewing angles and has a tone of fun but cool information for kids to learn about our ocean , having been to loads of aquarium this was on a small scale taking out not around 40 minutes to look round , and that being every single tank there ! But still has very interesting looking fish for people who don’t know much about them ! For the size the price was a little steep but on a hole was a good experience

Lots to see and really interesting! Well worth a visit.

Great place will get better after covid

Thoroughly enjoyed the aquarium however it was very expensive for what it was. You can go in again throughout the day but we didnt go until 130 and we went around it in about an hour and a half. It looked really small on the outside but it wasnt it was pretty big inside. There are lots of animals and the stingrays like to splash too. Its lovely for the younger kids. Unfortunately for me it was only a day ago i went and I have pretty much forgotten what it was like.

Brill displays and very covid safe

Some nice fish here.

Good fun for the kids and the talks are good but wont take more than an hour even with young kids.However there is a buggy park so you dont have to push them round and you can come back as much as you want on the same day

Great place to spend a relaxing day looking at the different, well put together, exhibits of fish. From the cold water wolf fish to the tropical clown fish, all very interesting and informative.

We went during the current (admittedly very quiet) climate, but the visit was lovely. Since there was barely anyone around, one of the staff (Aaron?) gave a very informative talk about the octopus Gloria, and stayed for a long while after answering our many questions and giving us interesting information about the fish in the Aquarium! Overall a fun outing!
