    Advantages Advantages The sharks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Over priced

    Deep sea world We decided to visit deep sea world for a day out for our children and after a recommendation by one of our friends this is where we headed. The deep sea world is located under the forth rail bridge and is about an hour’s drive from us and so we set off nice and early. It was very easy to find once we hit Edinburgh it was sign posted fairly well so there was no need for our sat nav and passing over the fourth bridge was a highlight for my children so they were excited before we even arrived. Once we arrived we found there was plenty of free parking available and it was not ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great day out, lots of attractions, large underwater tunnel to see sharks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit pricey

    Deep Sea world is a large aquarium located in Fife. It is under the Forth Road Bridge and embedded within the caves. Travelling from Edinburgh it is around a 20-30 minute drive. As soon as you pull up to the caves there is a large car park which had sufficient space for a lot of vehicles as well as an area for coaches for large parties. There is a large path to go inside which is sheltered by an overhead type canopy. Directly outside there is a few bits and pieces to look but the most popular was the speed boats in the water below. They cost £1 to have a shot but it did last a long while and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Unique, intersting, even educational

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The restaurant!!!!

    It was another wet weekend and another 48 hours of the kid complaining they are bored despite the ridiculous mound of toys that surround them. BY Saturday night I could take no more and was trolling the internet in desperation looking for something we could do the following day. It was the picture of the seal that first captured my attention. Believe it or not, not all Canadians think Seals are only good for culling. The picture was sufficiently soppy enough to convince my other half that the trip was a good idea and so it was planned. Our intention was to be out of the house by 09:30 at the ... more

    Advantages Advantages underwater tunnel

    Disadvantages Disadvantages vastly overpriced

    Deep Sea World in North Queensferry under the iconic Forth Railway Bridge bills itself as Scotland's national aquarium and a fun filled venue for a family day out. The aquarium is easy to reach by car with ample free parking, a nearby railway station and bus service from Dunfermline. The first thing you will have to do when you arrive, depending on the time of year, is queue up for tickets. There are markers at various points along the queue telling you how long until you will reach the door, expect to wait up to an hour at peak times. You queue along the quarry which is supposed to hold seals ... more

    Advantages Advantages shark tunnel, seals, Amazonian display

    Disadvantages Disadvantages very expensive, not so good for the little ones, not much of a whole day out

    There are already several reviews here on dooyoo that provide a good description of the attraction, so I will spare you this part. But I am writing to make another point: I am rather amazed at the number of five star reviews of the Deepsea World. While I agree that it's an interesting place to visit, I think it's vastly overpriced, less so for what it has to offer, and more so for how much of a day out you can make of it. Yes, it has some pretty good sharks in a tunnel, and the seals are good too (in fact, a saving grace), but overall you'd be hard pushed to spend more than two hours inside ... more
