Good

Very small space. Worth a visit for those with children. The tank is the largest in the world, but the attraction/walk part is quite short.

More appearances than being

It's great that you can see the fish and the penguins from very close up, but that's it with all the magic. The corals aren't real, and they're getting a little padded up. It's not worth the money.

Ordered 4 tickets costing £174 arrived at the aquarium where the ticket machine would only accept 2 out of the 4 tickets only to then be told by the staff that viator use a 3rd party company to issue tickets & that 2 of my tickets had been sent to someone else the day before & were used after speaking with contact support they had reissued new tickets & none of these worked either after spending 30 mins trying to get it sorted nothing worked support team said there was nothing else they could do & would send request for a refund therefore leaving after waiting 5 days had to chase them up only for them to tell me that they need a picture of the ticket scanner to prove what i was saying how on earth was this possible when no longer at the attraction & no-one told me at the time that this was needed needless to say viator has refused my refund this company is totally at it with taking people's money & not giving what you pay for i will never use the company again
