Activities Breakdown

Rock pool exploration

There were so many area separated by types of sea life with education boards and screens in each area for families to read and learn. We were very excited about the outdoor splash pool and water area for the kids to enjoy in the hot weather and let off some steam.

Overall Verdict & Ratings

A* Tried & Tested - Day Out With The Kids
Safety & Cleanliness5.0

Didn’t find any issues in this area at all.

Rides & Entertainment5.0

A couple of claw machines in one area, outdoor play areas with climbing frames and more. Plus water areas for kids to play.

Food & Drink5.0

Lots of options and they are happy for you to take in your own.

Queues & Crowds4.0

Well controlled by staggered entrance times. Can be a squeeze in some areas when looking at creatures.

Fun & Delight5.0

Everyone came away incredibly happy and had loads of fun.

Value for Money4.0

Can be costly if lots of you but it is definitely worth a trip because you could easily spend all day there. You can also get a stamp and come in and out all day.

The Final Verdict:

I can’t think of anything to complain about as we all had a fabulous time. We enjoyed learning about different sea creatures and how they are working to support sea life.
