Was looking forward to a nice day out with my grand children.
Lets start with the costs.. £28.70 per adult, £20.70 for a child over five. So for us four adults and.one child aged five. Not an inconsiderable amount.
The place itself is still under renovation. There are no signs indicating which way to follow. We covered the whole place in around 50 minutes. The ladies toilets were dirty. One of the cubicles had a broken seat, one had no lock on the door and the third one had poo on the seat ! Disgusting... And.. to add insult to injury they have the cheek to charge £3 to park. Do NOT waste.your hard earned money

Very expensive for such a small place took about 30 minutes to do the whole thing. Fish were amazing though which is why I give the 1 star. However the pelican enclosure has had me upset since leaving this morning. It’s awful. How that’s even aloud is beyond me. It was depressing, the birds looked depressed and the enclosure was awful hardly any land, horrible stagnant water and a net close to there heads enclosure wasn’t even as big as my back garden and it held around 6-7 huge pelicans. Truly sad that they are stuck there, wish there was something more I could do for them, I am going to try my hardest to report as surly this is animal cruelty.
We payed full prices for a child with a disability a carer, an adult and a child 70 odd pound and half of the place was getting renovated both my children were not happy it was a day out that we could just about afford we chose this place as they have just only got over not being well n needed a place inside so they were warm and we was not very happy
The fish were amazing but the pelicans enclosure is awful! No room to fly they have just been dumped on a stagnant pond thats not even the size of an average back garden. The enclosure is overgrown they should not be kept by a sea life place and they should be cared for by a proper sanctuary. Chester zoo or somewhere like that would care for them in a way they should be cared for everyone needs to report this and get them moved. The animals look so depressed and unhealthy.
Took us 50 minutes to walk around and we paid £55! Glad our daughter was free. Waste of time, would’ve been better off going to Chester zoo (or the free aquarium at the World Museum). Came for our daughter’s 2nd Birthday as a day out and couldn’t believe how short the experience was. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone and won’t be coming again. I had to ask did we miss something as it was so underwhelming and I was expecting to be there for at least 2 hours and the staff member laughed and said nope we’ve been all around! No sea horses or octopus. Pelicans were sad to see as the enclosure was tiny and they kept extending their wings flapping like they wanted to fly and couldn’t (guess their wings have been clipped). 0/10 all around. Cade was empty, but looking at the food for the prices you can see why.
Bought an annual pass to discover that we are not allowed to come in at 4:03 pm. We assumed that last admission is only for those who buys tickets. No, its for members too. Want to come in and buy a souvenire in a shop? no. Want to come for 10 minutes after school to watch your favorite snake or fish? no. Nobody comes in after 4, not even members. So our plans to visit after school are gone. Comparing to the ZOO where members not allowed half an hour, one hour is just mad. Turned us away at 4:03 pm
