Good Points: Informative, Interesting for older children and adults
Bad Points: Not that big, can do everything including 15 minute show in an hour, not easy to navigate, not for younger children.
General comments: Entrance was ££13 for an adult and £9 for a child, I would state this is overpriced for what you get. Can get round the whole place in an hour, it only had one lift that was broke, not good if got buggy/wheelchair.Some exhibits were closed off ones that weren't were good.15 minute talk about the fish and some divers was funny and informative.Undersea walk through was amazing. Would only recommend if live near and have children above 3, would not travel more than 10-15 miles to visit again.Have been to sea life centre in Blackpool and would say Blue Planet is no better than that which is a lot cheaper.

We go ten times a year, which means our family of four spend £9 on entry.Last Saturday my five year old nearly garotted himself on the steel chains outside the place that are designed to keep the queue in line. These are solid steel and the posts don't ...

We visited the Blue Planet Aquarium on a Saturday afternoon in February. It is easy to get to and has lots of parking. It was extremely busy, with fairly long queues at the entrance, although these were dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Entrance fees are £9.95 for adults and £7.50 for ages 3-15, under 3 years are free. We felt this was very expensive - we only spent 1.5 hours inside and managed to see, read and do everything.
The exhibits are well laid out in an informativ ...

Blue Planet Aquarium is an excellent attraction for all ages - spellbinding and magical in its presentation of a fascinating range of sea creatures. A window into another realm enables in depth insight into oceans and ocean beds throught the world. It can be enjoyed on different levels and is both educationally informative and emotionally enthralling.
