What visitors say
Me and my family went and tbh the aquarium was nice but small. We went in to kill a few hours and it didn’t take that long to go around the aquarium and for the price you pay it wasn’t 100%worth it. However if you have kids and since you can go back in during the day as they stamp your hand if you are on the beach and want to keep going in and out then it’s not that bad and I think the money would be worth it. I just didn’t think it was worth it for me but the staff and everyone was nice. We went in May and it wasnt that hot to sit on the beach and then go back in to the aquarium but if it’s warmer then I would the recommended. The animals are cute however some of the tanks look a bit small but the animals seem happy. But it was good and the fish were cute so I did enjoy it 3/5 I’d also just like to add for anyone with mobility issues there is steps and stuff in the aquarium and I didn’t see a lift. It’s also located right next to a massive hill and you can’t park on the hill you have to park in Newquay and walk down. So just keep that in mind there’s also not a lot of seating near the aquarium. ☺️

Wow,what a lovely place. Very helpful,smiley staff. £55.50 for a family of four. I would say well priced. A bit of a pain to park,but all four of us enjoyed the aquarium. It was clean and just enough for everyone to find their favourite fish;) Will definitely come back when we are this way again.

Had a lovely visit. A reasonable admission price. Have your hand stamped on arrival so you can come and go all day as you please. Lots of talks and feeding taking place throughout the day, with very knowledgeable staff.

Nice place to visit, reasonable price I think considering the upkeep. Plenty to see. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I do find it weird that there is no advantage in buying online as you still need to queue at the ticket office.
