I went to the London Aquarium for the first time a few months ago and can't wait to go back. They had the most amazing exhibits i have seen at an Aquarium.
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 fish. they are the stillest fish i have ever seen. They have not only small fish there are beautiful sharks in the centre of the aquarium which you could just stand there for hours and watch.
It's a very calming place to be... maybe not in the school holidays but when it's a rainy day you have hours worth to do.
My only critiscism is that when we were there there was a little re-furbishing going on which made us think the rest of the aquarium was like it . Don't be fooled, when you pass that it is literally a world of water and beauty.
If you get the chance to go . Please do it's amazing !!!!

A nice op, I went along to the Aquarium and loved touching the Rays - I had to build up courage first (don't know why - silly). Fill out your already good ops with more details, ie: price, ways of getting there etc and I'm sure you'll get higher ratings. All the best, Julie
