We visited this place on a Wednesday which was not very busy but also not too quiet. The place is very beautiful and we could see number of different varieties of fish and also penguins. There are also some small games and puzzles for kids as well. It was amazing to watch the beautiful world of this fish. Also there are some different species of frogs which are really poisonous. Also you can see wide variety of jellyfish. The scenery through the lift is amazing. As the pass provides number of visits a year we would surely visit again. Great place to take your kids and they will surely enjoy.

The Deep in Hull is a really enjoyable place to visit. The building looks impressive as you walk up to it, and inside there’s a nice mix of big tanks, tunnels and smaller displays, so you get plenty of time to watch the fish, sharks and rays. It feels clean, well cared for and easy to get around. You can easily spend a couple of hours there without feeling rushed, and it works well for both adults and kids. The café and gift shop are a good extra at the end. It’s not the cheapest attraction, but as a day out it’s interesting, memorable and definitely worth a visit if you’re in Hull.

A lovely experience and one of the best aquariums we've been to. There's lots to see and we easily passed 2.5 hours here. Lovely educational experience with a significant focus on the environment and climate change. Would be great if they did day passes as it's unlikely we would travel up from the midlands to visit more regularly. So i'd say pricing is the only thing that could be better.

What a fantastic aquarium! It’s very rare you see such a well themed aquarium especially one that boasts penguins!! Could sit and watch them all day. Big open spaces and easy for wheelchairs. It even has a scenic lift inside of one of the tanks! Unique, educational and well thought out.
