Crowned Review Deepsea World (Fife): An Octopuses Garden By The Sea (1032 words)

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 you how long until you will reach the door, expect to wait up to an hour at peak times. You queue along the quarry which is supposed to hold seals but was empty the last time I visited. Spending ages in a queue is not the ...  Read the complete review

I recently went to Deep Sea World with my partner, 7 month old daughter and nephew who is 2 years old. Deep Sea World advertises a spectacular underwater safari with the UK's longest underwater viewing tunnel. It is situated on Forthside Terrace, North Queensferry, Inverkeithing. The opening times for this enclosure are Mon-Sat 9am-7pm. It cost us 23.50 for entry in total with both the kids going free as they were under three years old. When we first arrived we stopped in at the café to sort the kids for lunch. This was very disappointing as it was extremely expensive. By the time we had fed ourselves and my nephew we had ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Deepsea World (Fife): Not bad but could be better. (628 words)

Considering it is advertised as "Scotland's National Aquarium", I have to say that Deep Sea World at North Queensferry was a touch disappointing. As you enter the aquarium it is full of promise. Outside the main door there are remote control speedboats in the water which were a big hit with the kids. Once you've bought your tickets and enter the aquarium, a member of staff takes your photo (which they later try and entice you to buy for £10!), and then you are left to your own devices. The tropical fish tanks in this area are beautifully lit and all my son could say was "Wow!" at every turn. Heading down to the much ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Face to Face With a Shark (at a price) (519 words)

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 good sharks in a tunnel, and the seals are good 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 ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Deepsea World (Fife): See some sharks up close! (723 words)

Deap Sea World is a large aquarium in Fife. It is in North Queensferry which is directly below the northern end of the famous Forth Bridge, about 20 minutes drive from Edinburgh. Our children (3 and 1) absolutely love it here and so far this year we've already visited 4 times! So what is it? Deep Sea World is more than just an average aquarium! It has a huge amount of fish in various tanks, seals, feely pools, etc - all that you would expect really BUT it also has a huge glass tunnel that you can travel through via a conveyor. The tunnel really lets you feel as though you are entering the sea and you can see the fish up close doing what fish do! The best ...  Read the complete review
