I've visited here a couple of times and found it really interesting. Its quite expensive but both times we have paid in Tesco deal vouchers making it free! I would say its not great for a young child they just want to race ahead to the next thing whilst mum and dad want to take a closer look and read up about the exhibits. I would probably say 7 ...  Read the complete review

I visited Plymouth twice with my 1st wife and the 2nd coincided with the opening of the National Marine Aquarium in 1998. Whether through choice or luck our visit was a few months after it opened yet the queues were the width of the inclined walkway leading to the ticket desk on the first floor and stretched several yards out the main ...  Read the complete review

I have been to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth several times since it opened. My first visit was a long time ago with my Mum, when the aquarium had not long been opened. She took me there several times when I was younger. I also went on trips with schools to this aquarium. Yesterday it was my nephews 1st birthday and as ...  Read the complete review

I can remember fairly vividly the opening of the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth in the late-1990s, as there was so much publicity it really was difficult to avoid, unless one lived in a hole. Or perhaps the sea. My first visit was as a youthful, intrigued pre-teen aged twelve on a school trip. Upon entering the sheer glass facade ...  Read the complete review

UPDATE - QUICK TIP We went again to this yesterday. This time I was 8 months pregnant and didn't relish the thought of having to queue. We rang the aquarium and enquired about pre-booking tickets. Apparently they don't do this but if you go to the Tourist Information on the Barbican you can purchase tickets there and then just ...  Read the complete review
