...a'Dive With Sharks' at the Blue Planet Aquarium so this review will be based on that experience, rather than the blue plant aquarium itself. In March 2000 my husband & I became qualified Divers in Goa with Barracuda Divers. My daughter who has this knack for buying really excellent presents decided to buy my husband for a Christmas present something with a bit of a bite. A dive with Sharks!! I helped her plan this but little did I know she was ... Read review

Advantages: No queues, fun for kids
Disadvantages: access for diasabled, no value for money

...to me to visit the Blue Planet Aquarium and with it not being far from home we decided to go one Sunday morning. My fella is always getting me up early so we can spend the day at wherever we are going. Situated near Cheshire Oaks Outlet Mall, the Blue Planet is signposted and very easy to get to from the main roads. Upon arrival we went inside to a large foyer and although it was very busy there were no queues to actually get in which was a ... Read review

Advantages: Layout
Disadvantages: Pricey, not that much there

...heard great things about the Blue Planet Aqarium before we went and my kids were really excited about going. When we arrived it looked as id we were going to waiting ages as the large car park was hammered but I was pleasantly surprised. hey had all the desks open and had an express chack in desk for people who had prebooked (we hadn\'t). I was very taken aback the prices we were charged £36 (this has now gone up to £40) for a family ticket ... Read review

We visited last May and the price for adults was £10.50, a bit expensive we thought. I have just looked at the site and prices for 2008 are now £13.00 an increase of 25% how on earth do they justify that? There is a review here from 2004 and the price for adults was said to be expensive at £8.95. It has increased by 45% in four years. You can get a season ticket for £39, but once you've seen it, and it was fantastic, who would want to return because you couldn't possibly beat that first experience of seeing sharks that close.

Advantages: Well laid out and imaginative environment
Disadvantages: Very expensive for a family outing

...layout and features of the Blue Planet Aquarium in excellent detail so I won't attempt to repeat any of this very useful information. I will however give my honest take on this venue that I visited recently, and is only about 15 miles from where I live. We were a family of five, myself and my wife (both retired but not OAP's), my daughter and her husband together with his son aged 7. It was a cold January mid week morning about 10 am so I thought ... Read review
