Surely it's about the fish?

Advantages: Good sharks, interesting building
Disadvantages: Too many videos and gimmicks, not enough fish, dark central tank

...time - it's not exactly the sort of place you pass on the way to anywhere else. So knowing that the one thing I really wanted to see was the new 'Submarium' (nonsense name, I thought) I battled the one way system and a temperamental sat nav system to find it.

Firstly, if you too are trying to get there with a Sat Nav system, it can be tricky. There's no road name given in the address. I plugged in Nelson Street which is apparently ...
...Nav and follow them. It's the kind of place you can see but, like a tantallus, you can't quite grab it.

First impressions - I'd love to say they were 'Wow! What an amazing looking building?' but in fact my first impressions were 'Gosh, is the weather ALWAYS as awful as this?' The wind was blowing a gale and the spray off the Humber was spiking horizontally across the car park. Apparently the building was designed by Terry Farrell and ... more

Is it worth visiting?

Family Friendly

Not shallow

Advantages: fun, informative, interactive
Disadvantages: car park charges

On the last day of the summer hols I took my two kids to The Deep. First and foremost, there is no fishy smell in the areas of Hull that people are likely to visit for fun! Now that that is out of the way, I'll describe my experience. The first thing we noticed was of course the car park. Three quid! I would have expected the car park to be free to visitors -- it's not like there was an attendant to look after your stuff! Living in Hull, I know the ...
...multi-storey car parks in the town centre. Prices there start at something like £2 for a couple of hours, and go up bit by bit the longer you stay. I noticed that for £2.70 you can park for up to 6 hours. There is an "all day" price as well but I can't remember it -- sorry. If all you're doing is visiting The Deep, you need about two to two-and-a-half hours to go around it, plus walking from and to the carpark. It only takes about 10 mins maximum ...

Something fishy going on here....

Advantages: Good family fun.
Disadvantages: Aimed more at kids.

...entry tickets. The Deep is tauted as being one of the most spectacular aquariums in the world. I don't know if this is true or not - I've not visited many aquariums around the world. It is certainly an impressive sight, both internally & externally. Built right alongside the Humber estuary, the building is made to look like the prow of a ship - very fitting for the location & very modern looking. The website recommends taking a riverside walk around ...
...look while you're there, & the new footbridge across the river Hull takes you across to the city centre if you fancy a look around. The Deep itself is more aimed at children, with many educational & fun tools to interact with on the way round. This was all a bit pointless to me, but I read the information given here & there in order to make more of my visit. There are several small tanks as you go along, and some impressively large tanks also. There ...

A fishy tale (Updated)

Advantages: Fish, Fish and more fish
Disadvantages: Long entrance queues.

We decided to visit the Deep last whilst on holiday in Yorkshire. It is situated on the Banks of the River Humber, which is in YORKSHIRE, no where near LONDON, as someone at Ciao thinks, my thanks to Silverback for pointing this out., anyway it's an area which is in the process of being built up. We travelled by car and although we could see the building has some trouble actually getting to it. However this was a year ago and there was lots of roadworks ...
...bus. Or you can use the Park and Ride that goes to the City Centre. The deep is a short walk away from here. A normal visit is meant to last around two hours so you could combine it with a shopping trip. There is a car park at the Deep, costing £3. If you present this at the shop or cafe you will get a £2 discount. The opening times are 10am to 6pm every day. It is recommended you visit in the afternoon as it is meant to be quieter but the day ...

An excellent attraction

Advantages: Educational, inexpensive, amazing views of fish
Disadvantages: Interactive displays difficult to access when busy

...a very long one, but The Deep is slowly changing this outdated image. The Deep is Europe's largest "Submarium". No, I don't know what a submarium is either, but essentially it is a big aquarium. The building was designed by Norman Foster and is position on the junction of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary, some 15 minutes from the Humber Bridge and in the centre of the city of Hull. From the outside the building has a striking design, appearing ...
...into the river junction. Parking is ample and a special footbridge has been constructed to allow easy access to the shopping and eateries of the city centre. A shuttle bus runs from the train station to the Deep every 15 minutes, it is easy to spot - it's purple and a had "The Deep" plastered all over it. The bus also makes stops in the city centre. Entry is £6, I advise tickets to be bought in advance online or at the tourist information office ...

Diving into The Deep

Advantages: Excellent for adults and older kids
Disadvantages: Difficult to get to by car

I have visited The Deep a couple of times now on short breaks up to Yorkshire and on each occasion have thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little intrigued the first time I visited by the fact that you went up a lift three floors but soon all was to be revealled.... The start of the 'tour' took you along long downward ramps showing you how life on the planet has evolved with a time line the whole way down. There were several 'stop off points' along ...
...the audio-narrative on the telephone like apparatus that you can get form reception for a small fee. There was also a lot of interactive things to do along the way from touchy-feely fossils to Deep Blue One where you could 'learn how to command a submarine' - something I wasn't very good at!!! You start the 'fish watching' at the top of the endless ocean where you will see several species of shallow water fish from rays and sharks to coral that ...

The Deep, Hull, East Yorkshire

Advantages: Interesting and lots of species to see
Disadvantages: If your not interested in fish,it might not be so much fun 4u!!!

The Deep is based in Hull in Yorkshire right on the edge of the Humber Estuary. It opened in 2002 and is a charitable aquarium working towards raising public awareness of the threats to the fish, mammals and plants that live in the ocean and supports the marine conservation society. LOCATION Its in a great location for visiting the rest of the city as its only a five minute walk away from the city centre where there is lots of shopping to be done, some great cafes and pubs and there are also a handful of museums scattered around the town. A recently build pedestrian and cycle bridge was built at the side of the Deep which actually links the aquarium to the old quarter of the city. However if you dont fancy and are literally just visiting the city for The Deep there is a large car park right outside the building. The car park ...

Review of The Deep, Kingston Upon Hull, London

There's no place like Hull

Advantages: Cheap, friendly, near the sea, near the countryside
Disadvantages: Could do with a few more major highstreet shops

As a resident of Hull myself i have found that the residents either love it or hate it. And having lived in Stoke-on-Trent for over 4 years, I can proudly say that I love my home town, or should I say City. Whenever Hull is mentioned on the TV, and usually it is in the comic context (see The Office, Spaced and Blackadder Goes Fourth, to name but a few), it is often described as Hell and smells of fish etc. So what if by changing a letter in its name, Hull becomes Hell, why don't we apply the same to Notting Hill for instance? No, Hull is a little known City, and City it is, which many people wouldn't know. We have the Humber Bridge and Country Park for afternoon strolls/rides during the summer. We have the Marina for summer drinking and folk and jazz festivals, and likewise Queen's gardens. We have The Deep, Ferens Art Gallery ...

Review of Hull in General

Cheap British Holidaymaking..?

Advantages: Price, more environmentally friendly option, price
Disadvantages: tent pitches quite close together, VERY big site, so not much of a retreat

so that quite a few fled in the middle of the night - such wusses. Still I slept like a baby, although the ground was a little squelchy in places on the way to the toilet block this morning, but it was reasonable enough to walk on. At night, the noise could be a little much at times particularly as there were a couple of parties going on for one celebration or another, and some family parties had clearly come en masse with a couple of large tents. However, while I would have liked them to quieten down a little sooner, they were pretty quiet by 11pm as per the rules. Perhaps I have been spoiled for choice as we had a small field to ourselves on my previous outing to the Isles of Scilly in July. Area wise, the site is handy if you want to explore some of Hull, particularly the Deep complex and the Museum Quarter - the latter being ...
