Arniston (South Africa)

Advantages: Displays relate to South Africa in particular.
Disadvantages: A little sparse in places

...Situated close to the Victoria and Albert Waterfront, the aquarium only costs about £3 to get in. I found it a little sparse, but they do have some great stuff there. It really depends on what you like, I am fascinated by the sea, but am too scared to ever go scuba diving, so a place like this is fantastic for me. They have a fantastic display of moray eels, on loan from Singapore, so I don’t know how long they will be they for. They have many sharks and other large species in a huge 2-storey tank, which you can view from different areas, and also walk through the glass tunnel. The Japanese spider crabs are incredible, they just don’t look real and are huge, you could them as dining chairs!! They also have the usual type of aquarium ‘stuff’, but particularly related to South Africa and its coastline. It is very well laid out... Read review

Advantages: Great staff

The disabled were catered for with front row seats and easy on and off exits, all help was given to what I saw IN FLIGHT Entertainment was good as there was a range or 30 or so films 100's of radio stations and games to play all on your own screen. The meals we good compared to other plane food that I have tried and there were once again a wide variety of choices, fish, vegetarian and 2 meat dishes. If my memory serves me correctly. The seats are comfy and can be slid back to become more like a bed, which is needed on a 12-hour flight. Overall the flight was very good, the staff were great and very helpful and I would advise people who are going to South Africa to use... Read review
