The Deep

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 solar system and how they began and what this meant for the sea. It ...  Read the complete review

The Deep is a aquatic atraction in the city of Hull, it is on the side of the River Humber and is billed as the biggest Submarium in the world. It is situated at Sammy point at the confluence of the River Hull and the River Humber. The deep is billed as the worlds only Submarium, now I'm not quite sure what a submarium is when compared with a aquarium, it was built as a part of the Millenium lottery fund and the building is a rather striking angular building.

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 the building with the possible oportunity to ...  Read the complete review

It was okay

The Deep, I recently went to the Deep in Hull on my way back from our summer holiday in Haven. It was easy to find (as we had sat nat) and it took us right to the front door. We parked in the car park outside which cose us £3.00. We were lucky and travelled here on a lovely summers day and therefore could take advantage of the picnic tables overlooking the larger river. There is a large statue of a oversized sea life creature which is really good to take photos nearby as it is overlooking the water. At the beginning you are asked to enter in a specific door, this leads you past the cafe and down past the shop. You will then come ...  Read the complete review
