...at the foot of the Deep Sea World entrance or alternatively, if blessed with decent weather, bring a picnic to enjoy at one of the picnic tables at the centre entrance. I stood in queue for 20 minutes while Rikki patiently entertained the three hungry boys. When I finally got to the front of the queue I found out there were no baguettes or sandwiches left, no baked potatoes and only two servings of the hot food option left – either a soggy looking ...

Review of Deep Sea World, Edinburgh

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 ...
...Once you have wandered around Deep Sea World you may well feel peckish and want to head to the café for a meal or snack. The café has huge windows with stunning views across the river Forth but this is about all it has going for it. The cafeteria style self service café has a range of sandwiches and hot meals and drinks. The food is unimaginative and poor quality with options like a kids chicken nugget meal which are massively overpriced and the ...

Review of Deep Sea World, Edinburgh

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 ...
...too (in fact, a saving grace), but overall you'd be hard pushed to spend more than two hours inside and it's likely to cost you 40 quid for a family of four (assuming you will resist the gift shop and the cafe). I think what you make of the Deepsea World depends hugely on how old your children are, and whether you are looking for a pleasant day out, or a more intense "exhibition" type of attraction. For older kids or teens who are looking for the ...

Review of Deep Sea World, Edinburgh

I have been back to Deep Sea World 3 times within the past couple of years. It is a short drive from my home in Falkirk, Central Scotland, and although the attraction only takes a couple of hours at most to explore - the underwater tunnel is amazing! The first time you walk through the tunnel and catch a glimpse of the largest shark 'Tinkerbell' swimming towards you, you will feel the hairs on back of your neck stand up. Even after visiting Sea World ...
...close to the sharks and other creatures. The only disappointment is the cafeteria (food is very basic/tables not very clean/bit expensive) and the Seal enclosure (you can't get very close/see much). The tour guide is worth waiting for as they can walk you through the tunnel and you learn a lot more about the fish - also watching the sharks being fed is a great experience as the divers do tricks! ...
