Hello we recently visited the Lakeside Aquarium as part of a day out on the Windermere Steam Cruisers. The aquarium is open from 9am and generally closes around 5pm but this changes so double check. The aquarium is of a better size than i expected with all sorts of freshwater fish on display. There is a large walk under aquarium which houses a huge cat-fish several large Sturgeon and plenty of Carp.

The Aquarium of the Lakes is based at the Southern end of Windermere at Lakeside, Newby Bridge. Directions ******** Reaching the Aquarium by road is easy enough, from the M6 motorway you follow the A590 to Newby Bridge, then from there you'll need to follow the Hawkshead road, but don't worry there are plenty of brown tourist signs to follow. There is a car park outside the Aquarium, but it is not a free car park, you must get a pay and display ticket. Alternatively you can arrive at the Aquarium by boat or by train. To arrive by train you need to follow the A590 a bit further west, and look out for signs for the Haverthwaite ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Aquarium of the Lakes: A Magical View of Lake Windemere (408 words)

The Aquarium of the lakes can be found at Windermere's Lakeside pier in Newby Bridge Cumbria, it is a great day out for the family and has been in business for a few years now. I decided to visit last summer with my grand children and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We paid 5.75 for the adults and 3.75 for the children so I didn't think it was out of the way for the amenities on offer. It has a large collection of fresh water fish and the walk way alongside the actual lake with a viewing area was quite spectacular you felt as if you were actually under the water itself looking through the glass. We actually saw some ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review A very cheap day out for the family. (430 words)

The aquarium of the lakes has been in business for quite a few years now, and I live so close to it and I have never been. Well until a few days ago anyway. It was one of the things I kept on meaning to do. But never got round to it. I woke up and decided to go, with my nephew. To my surprise it was quite cheap and very entertaining for both my nephew and me. ADMISSION PRICES Adult £5.75 Child £3.75 I thought this was very reasonable, and I was told that I could have made a further saving if I had purchased a combined Aquarium and Boat ticket. So if you decide to go you may as well go the whole hog and go by boat, as it is still very ...  Read the complete review
