    Advantages Advantages Sharks! An amazing elevator and Big Tank

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too interactive, not enough fish.

    I would like to say that as a family we visited The Deep because my son asked to come. However the reality is that I love Aquariums, despite being 25. Although my son does like looking in fish tanks so it’s not like he was forced into coming….although at the time he was only 12 months old and had no choice in the matter! I have been to a few of the Sealife Centres which are dotted around the UK, in particular the ones in Blackpool and Scarborough and have always had a “whale” of a time…. Opening Times Quite simply, The Deep is open every day 10am – 6pm, with last admission being at 5pm. The ... more

    I hadn't been to Hull for a long time and I wasn't expecting to be back again for a long 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 very close but once you see the brown tourism signs, ignore your Sat Nav and ... more

    Travel and Parking Yesterday me, my partner and my niece decided we were going to go visit the deep. Armed with sweets, drinks, travel sickness pills and a raging hangover we set off from good old Grimsby to the deep located in Hull. On the way we had to cross the Humber bridge which now thankfully has been lowered to £1.50 each way. Once we were across the bridge there was brown travel signs on the roads constantly saying the deep with directions so luckily we never got lost (impossible with the thousands of signs) The deep is an award winning attraction in the UK which is home to over 3,500 ... more

    The Deep opened in March 2002 amid a blaze of publicity and since then it has welcomed more than 3 million visitors and has won many awards as a visitor attraction. It is also an internationally important research facility and has become a symbol for the city of Hull. The Deep is one of the deepest aquariums in the world, and for the city of Hull it has changed the skyline of the city. It has a lovely mix of aquaria, interactions for not only children but adults too, film footage and live demonstrations. As you walk through the Deep, you will notice that it takes you through the journey of the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Interesting and informative

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some bits a bit samey

    wHen we recently rented a caravan in Scarborough, one of the suggested places to visit in the brochure was the Deep, which is in Hull. Little Miss is interested in all things to do with animals and given that she finds Sea Life Centre interesting, we decided that it was worth a visit. The Deep is an environmental and educational charity dedicated to understanding and protecting the oceans of the world, and the staff perform beach cleans and surveys for sharks and ray eggs. WHERE IS IT? Situated in the centre of Hull, we had about an hour drive and once we had set the sat nav, then we found it ... more
