Brought a 12 year old and a 9 year old to the aquarium. Both of them really enjoyed it - as did the adults. Plenty of variety to see. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

We had a great family day out with 2 adults, 14 year old, 5 year old and a baby. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the Halloween set up was entertaining for all. Great work Exploris! P.S. Great, friendly staff.

The Night At The Aquarium was a fantastic evening. It was great value for money and was really interesting to see the animals at different times and levels of activity than normal. The tour was very informative and interesting with lots of facts I didn't know. Our tour guide Peter did an excellent job and you can tell he is passionate about his job. Would love to go again.

A return visit after refurbishment. Definite improvements - could be likened to Sea Life in London - very child friendly with a 'Disneyesque' feel and music. Staff proactively engage visitors in a friendly and fun way. Thank you!

Very fun and educational, we loved all of the animals especially the beautiful seals. Had an amazing time (Halloween event) finding the clues and working out the final puzzle. Hopefully my son wins the prize. Very helpful staff - will definitely be back.

We took our three kids (8,6 & 3) and had a top time. Staff were great and even though it was quite busy they made a real effort to ensure all queries were answered from all the visitors.

Fantastic day out. Lovely, well thought out and designed zones. Our 3 year old loved the Halloween event and all the little treats that he was given along the way. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Great to see the place opened again.

The seals and otters are great to see at feeding times and the tanks are full of fish, ray's and a shark. Theres even a crocodile who is small at the minute but was told he'd grow to 16ft. All in all I'd definitely recommend it for a fun day out.

We visited Exploris today with our son & granddaughter. We were very impressed with this attraction. There was plenty to do; face painting, a treasure hunt and a talk on snakes & reptiles. The staff were all very helpful.

Came with my nephew who is 1 - even at that age he loved it! Especially the fish, the low level exhibitions meant he could see from the pram which was great! The staff were all lovely and helpful! Loved it and will definitely come again.

We were able to touch the dogfish in the first touch pool and later on the sting rays. All very friendly! We loved the Nemo and Dory type fish too.
