London Aquarium, London

London Aquarium As half term is looming ahead, just an idea as to where you can take the children is the London Aquarium. Being a Piscean where best for me to see some relations ! Hubby and I took my three ankle biters in the last half term which was October. Here's a guide as to what to expect if you make that journey. ~~WHERE IS IT AND HOW TO GET THERE.~~ The London Aquarium is situated on the South Bank. The river Thames runs adjacent to the building and during the summer months this is an ideal place to stroll along and people watch. Not recommended in freezing October though. The building ... more

'We know more about the surface of the Moon than we do about the underwater world covering two thirds of our Planet...... join the London Aquarium on a journey into this great unknown' I have always been fascinated by the underwater world and all it's weird and wonderful creatures, hence why I'm studying Marine Biology at Uni. Over the years I have been to a number of aquariums including a couple from the well known Sea-Life chain. I first visited the London aquarium aged 14 and went more recently when applying for voluntary work, but now I will be helping out every other Sunday. It is quite a ... more

Their "touch" section whee you can touch Plaice, crabs, starfish and further on a big tank where you can touch stingray is fabulous. The whole experience is amazing . It's a very big place just near the London Eye. It looks very small but it is massive. I cannot get over the amount of different species that were there. If you take my advice and go either with your family or friends you will not be disappointed. And look out for the Pirahna ... more

If you like fish, this is a place not to be missed. If you live in London or not, you must try and see the Aquarium, it is brilliant. It is right by the London Eye so directions to it should be okay, or if you use the tube, Westminster is the best stop. You start off by walking in and there is this Ford Ka in the entrance way. Un be known to me, until later it has actually been converted into a mini aquarium. All the windows have been sealed up and it is filled with rocks and water with fish inside it. You can look through the windows and see all around. That alone was well worth a look and a ... more
