Yesterday I had my first ever diving experience and it was one of the best things I have ever taken part in. Not only do the team make you feel at ease, they help you learn about the equipment used when diving and how to make sure that you dive safely. The new full face diving mask made me feel a lot more comfortable and I could just enjoy the experience without the faff. Josh was incredibly helpful, guiding me around the tank as I had trouble with walking around the bottom. Whilst in the tank, I loved seeing the fish up close and seeing how playful the sharks and the fish were. My favourite part was when we were playing with the fish by sprinkling sand on them. I would highly recommend this experience and I know I will definitely look into courses available for diving in the future.

For the price it's a fantastic day out! Loads of benches so you can just sit and watch the fish, so peaceful. The Jurassic area is a great addition too, my daughter and partner both loved it. The cafe food is great, and all the staff we spoke to were lovely.

This was a birthday experience for our boys to snorkel with baby sharks. They had a wonderful time wearing wetsuits and masks to see and feel the sharks swimming all around them. The instructors were lovely being so helpful and informative to give the boys memories to treasure forever ❤️

Great little aquarium. Good for a couple of hours of fun. There's a craft area and a nice little cafe with a kids play to sit and have Somme coffee and cake

Again, it's a good place to visit when the weather's not too great. It's good for the family and kids, you can get involved with a quiz as you walk around. Plenty to see as well as the fish and sea life you also have dinosaurs! There's a soft play within the cafe so you can spend a fair amount of time entertaining the kids.

Great for little ones. The dig site in Jurassic Falls is such a good idea. The quiet side room next to the big tank in the aquarium is my favourite place. Really relaxing when its not too busy. I only wish they had more space as its a bit difficult to get around when its busy, especially if you have a pushchair, but it can't be helped. We've been quite a few times in the past 4 years and always enjoy it.

Really nice place, not as big as other aquariums we have been too but works very well with what's inside. Good little intro with staff! Safe one way system very clean and tidy. Play center and cafe upstairs was open and the views were lovely!

Excellent place to visit with a lot to see. What is really nice is that they have put benches all around the place so that you can sit and watch the sea-creatures. A great way to see a lot of different animals close up.

Today myself and my husband did the shark experience at the centre all I can say is absolutely wow absolutely fantastic loved every single minute, staff go above and beyond can't thank Nanny Shark enough for helping me into my wet suit, the two divers we had were also absolutely amazing talked us through everything and made the whole experience stress-less and out us at ease once you've been briefed you go down into the tank with a massive array of fish 🐠🐟🦈 it's a wonderful controlled way to see up close and personal some beautiful fish and experience the whole scuba 🤿 dive, the diver team also keep in touch with you the whole time with hand signals and you have a ear piece so they can also talk to you and advise you can't wait to do it all over again worth every penny it's a must!!

Received the dive experience as a gift honestly the best day out by far for a long time. Was amazing to be so close to the fish and sharks, the dinosaur bit was a good added extra & fun for the little one.

We bought a 2hr dive experience for Christmas as a laugh last year. I maintain swimming locally in the sea off the north coast and being constantly bothered by seals is easier than swimming with Sharks. Abo disagreed so I bought us this for comparisons sake. Life meant we finally got to it a year late, but on arrival we were treated really well. The instructor was calm and clear in explaining all the kit and going through what to do while in the tank with all the apparatus. The dive was great fun, lots to look at and see, and funny to stare back out on the humans staring in from the glass in the viewing areas. Pouring sand onto the unicorn fish was a definite highlight. It loved it. Honestly you’re bobbing about in a massive fish tank aren’t you and all the inhabitants are very used to human interaction, but that just added to it. I recommend it if you’re stuck for something to do. Very enjoyable couple of hours, but I still vote the real world uncontrolled experience of swimming with wild seals is more thrilling if a little less safe.

The kids seem to really enjoy it it was lovely time

Pleasant walk around. Pretty interesting quiz to do as you go in both the Aquarium and the Dino Park. Decent day out and the family pass for 2A 2Ch is well worth the money. 2 hours+ of fun. There is an onsite cafe and soft play area. They have a range of foods from pizza to cake and drink from coffee to frozen Cola. You can colour in a fish/sea critter you get 1 sheet per child and they scan onto a screen. My 4 year old was so excited. Very clever idea. :) Certainly no disappointment from us.

Was surprisingly good. Plenty of activities for kids it was a really enjoyable day. The dinosaur Park they had was brilliant. The cafe is reasonably priced, the food was really good. So much for the little ones to do.

This was great, the main feature tank was awesome and there were plenty of spots for the kids to get close and see everything. The aquarium wasn't very big, but it had a small soft play by the cafe and an outside area with dinosaurs. All in all, well worth adding in to your trip

Very small could walk round it in 5 mins on your own, so when paying for a large family very over priced wouldn't bother again

I came here for the scuba dive in the shark tank. The dive team did such an awesome job! We arrived an hour earlier (me and a plus one who wasn't diving) to look around the aquarium before the dive. The dive itself took 2h and was with myself (an experienced diver) and 2 people who had never dived before. Changing rooms with toilets and showers were provided. You went in, got changed and kitted out with the provided kit (or bring your own), shower, then have a bit of a dive brief. You didn't put the kit together yourself. We went into a tiny pool to practice some skills (clear reg by blowing, clear reg with purge, throw away and find reg, mask fill and clear). Then we went into the exhibit with the sharks. We were overweighted so no diving diving involved. And no fins. You're mostly kneeling on the tank bottom. Then after 30 mins in the tank, you're out to go shower. They also have a container where you can wash your own kit. An incredible experience. I really recommend!

I have been here a couple of times since it opened. It is what you exspect from an aquarium although it is one of the smaller ones, if you wanted you could get through it in under 10 minutes. However its a couple of hours, including lunch, if you want to fully enjoy the experiance. On the topic of lunch the cafe is clean, open and airy offering views over the beach and sea. The food is a bit pricey though. A jam sandwich, cookie, apple and drink was £6, it was wrapped in clingfilm which just looked a little unproffesional, although this was not a particular issue for us. For a family of 4 to have lunch was just shy of £35 only really made resonable, in my view, by the EOHO scheme. It is a good attraction for its location with a resonably priced entry fee. £27 for 2 adults and a child, under 2s get in free. Social distancing, like everywhere in skegness it would seem, is not reasuring. While the aquarium is making sure that there is not too many people within the building at any one time, once in there it is a free for all with customers not really following any distancing guidance or keeping face masks on, nor are there any provisions in place to enforce/ guide on social distancing. On a side note, if you like brandy i would give the hand sanatiser here a go.... it smells like its come straight out of a brandy distillery lol.

Blue blub, blub. Blub! 100% a fun place to visit. It is a little bit well as you’d expect for an Aquarium. It’s smaller than you’d think but not bad! Great spot for taking pictures. And the giant tank is astonishingly beautiful. Good for kids as long as they don’t tap on the glass like gremlins.

Been 2 years in a row on holiday and loved it both times. Lovely little place, not massive but the price reflects that, very good value. Love the interactive sand table and fossil excavation activities for the kids (and secretly for me). Love the aqua theatre, can sit and watch the fish for ages.

This is a rely good Aquarium with a good variety of different fish, shellfish and other animals (they have a few frogs, tarantulas etc) including octopuses and stingrays plus a few sharks! They have a big viewing window for the sharks so you can see them really well. When we visited there was an additional dinosaur exhibition with lots of information and models of various dinosaurs plus a sandpit where kids can dig for fossils. The gift shop is good too and there's a cafe with a well stocked selection of food and drink with a decent play area for the kiddies. Children from 10 years on can even scuba dive with fish!

Great little aquarium, with new dinosaur section outside included in the price. Great for families for a couple of hours. Staff very friendly. Can get crowded, so good to go early and you can book in advance.

Great aquarium, booked online and glad we did so as they had a notice stating online bookings only for the Saturday. Plenty to see, stay for as long or short as you wish. Nice cafe upstairs with good selection of food and drink. Jurassic Land outside is fairly new but good with some interesting facts.

Me and the wife always enjoy the aquarium, I think it's good value you can take your time walking around and they have also added a dinosaur experience which is great for children and adults alike.

We visited last week with Two children 5 & 3, they really enjoyed their visit and learning about different species. Personally I do not think its worth the money paid but my Two little ones loved it. The dinosaur land that was a lovely addition out the back, not very big but again it put a big smile on my kids faces so that in itself is priceless.

Lovely place to visit with some amazing tanks and exhibits and a nice cafe. New outdoor dinosaur area is amazing

Brilliant day out for the kids and so interesting. The kids lived the dinosaurs and digging for fossils. They loved being up close to the fish aswel. Thw play area went down a treat

Great afternoon out. Fun activities for the kids. Beautiful fish. Dino area that my boy loved. Won't break the bank either

Goos day out for families... wasn't expecting dinosaurs as well as fish!!! Really enjoyed the treasure hunt!!! Lay out is great and the picture into fish was brilliant!!

My lad went on a diving 🤿 experience while we had a good look around. Well worth a visit, if a tad expensive. We enjoyed what we saw and my lad had a great time swimming with sharks so it was money well spent

Had a brilliant day with the kids plenty to see. Staff where lovely

Not as big as I thought it would be, but had a decent selection of fish, sea horses, frogs, starfish and jelly fish and a very huge hairy tarantula, (for those who can look long enough)! You can sit and watch all of the fish and sharks swim past in their tank. Very beautiful. We loved it.

Loved the Aquarium probably best for families with younger children ❤ We still enjoyed it though and filled out quiz cards like kids searching for the answers...😁

Visited as my partner had a tank dive booked we took our children alone to so they could watch there mum. While she was preparing we walked around the aquarium which extremely well themed the the pirates section and the kids loved the new dinosaur Park and the life sized dinosaurs! Every single member of staff we spoke to was fantastically helpful and out going. Would recommend to anyone!

Great place to visit, enjoyed every minute

35 pound to go in they say it takes 1 to 2hours but! If your going in and wanting food from their not too expensive cafe you could let your younger ones go in (my 14yr old didn't but my 7yr old did) in the soft play area, it stretches out time for doing free activities .. Cookies large ones 2 for 1.70 they are lovely with a hot drink ! After you do the fish, go outside to jurassic falls !!! It's brilliant ! They also do scuba diving! Alot more than 35 pound though! Lol Loved it .. could have been cheaper, I understand though.. use NEWSLETTER15 ONLINE TO BOOK TICKETS DAY B4 (TAKE 24HRS TO GENERATE) GET 15% OFF ! GET IT FIR 29 INSTEAD

Excellent place to visit with family. We really enjoyed our time. Kids had a great time with question cards to fill in while they were walking around. Lots of different sea creatures to look at. The talk was very informative. The upstairs soft play area is very big and my kids loved it. There is cafe so you can have a coffee and delicious cake. Car park nearby for £1/hour). Definitely recommend.

Had a great time earlier on today with the family, my little nephew loved it, he didn't know where to look next! We came without a booking and had to wait a short amount if time before getting in but it was no trouble at all. Me and my mum enjoyed seeing all the different types of fish, and other small animals too. The trip was really insightful and everyone enjoyed going round, I did feel like there could've been more sections to make the walking round last longer, but overall a good place to come.

Nice time out with family, conjoined Aquarium and Dinosaur Park. In the aquarium there is an option that you can go under the water in full equipment with a professional instructor. Even children can learn diving. Dinosaurs are very colorful and made with details. Some of them are moving slightly and making sounds. Attraction for children is collecting answers to get letters to earn some price at the entryway.

Just wanted to say thank you to the aquarium and it’s a staff for a fabulous dive experience on behalf of my son. Last nearly two hours, at least 20-30 mins of that was in the tank. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and the who process was professional from beginning to end. Would thoroughly recommend it!

Did the shark dive experience and cannot recommend it enough. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly and help build your confidence before you go in the tank. The sharks keep their distance but you see them and the rays swimming around and are surrounded by all the other fish in the tank. Highly recommend - ticket also includes entry to aquarium for you and a spectator. There was loads of opportunity for spectators to take photos to get some lasting memories

Not a great variety of fish for entrance price, but a nice laid out aquarium. Worth a visit and check website for discounts, signing up to newsletter can reduce cost

The aquarium was quite small but a lovely place to go around alot of times. Definitely recommend the location for children as they have alot of facts in the dinosaur area. The staff are very friendly and even offered us chocolate when we completed the riddles!!

We had the most amazing time visiting Skegness Aquarium. From start to finish every member of staff we came into contact with made the experience more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend snorkelling with sharks, my 9 year old loved it. We can’t wait to go back and try a diving experience. I even left my swim bag and the aquarium went above and beyond to post it back to us, the manager Kerry also phoned to check it had arrived safely. Thank you.

We got half price tickets from Planet Radio Offers and the whole experience was great. I'm not sure I would pay full price but it certainly was not bad, hence the 5 stars. If you're looking to go and not in peak times (like summer holidays) you will likely find half price tickets too 🤫😉 I love how there's a soft play area and dinosaur zone, there's a good amount here for little ones. I don't think I would visit in summer holidays, as it's not a huge place, and would imagine it'll get quite cramped. Never the less, 5 out of 5.

Thoroughly enjoyed this aquarium. All the individual tanks are fascinating. Really loved the huge tank, such a great variety of marine life. Also enjoyed the Dinosaur land, I think it was clever the way some of the models move.

Yeah not bad at all. They have clearly put a lot of work into making this place as interesting as possible for the kids. Lots of things to keep them interested and visually brilliant. Will definitely stir the imagination. I also appreciated the fact that there is a small soft play in the cafe so you can chill while the kids play

Came here with a friend to do a shark diving experience. I was really impressed with the way the whole thing was run. Done all the briefing online before and got given clear instructions on the day. Was an absolutely amazing experience to be up close with such amazing sharks and fish. The walk around the rest of the aquarium was just as good with lots of information boards and plenty to see. There is a good cafe that has some delicious cakes. All the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable.

We took our son here to do the junior snorkelling. It was fab. The children had lots of fun and as there were 5 slots, it was great for the kids to get really into the experience. The instructor was very knowledgeable and good with the kids. They had enough time in the tank with the baby sharks to see a lot of them. We are now interested in going back for the adults to take part in the big tank! We also got to go around the aquarium afterwards and we had lots of fun.

Wow! My boys (12 and 13) did the shark dive experience today and it was truly incredible. the equipment was absolutely top notch, the instructors were very calm and put my nervous younger son at ease. Instructions were very clear with enough detail without baffling the kids. They had an absolutely amazing time. If there is 1 thing I would say, it's to allow more time than you think. We thought it would be a couple of hours in the aquarium but by the time we'd completed the dive and checked out the exhibits we'd been more than 4 hours! Huge thanks to the dive team, we will definitely be back!

A busy and entertaining venue. With a treasure and dinosaur egg hunt to keep the kids entertained and also interactively seeking answers the aquarium has hit the right note. Although the multiple small tanks around the rooms have a the smaller fish the big tank holds bigger and unusual species. At certain times you get to see the feeding and its strange to watch baby sharks trying to grab the food which are dead fish from the feeding rods yet not eat the fish in the same tank they are living in. Some people think fish are small tiny creatures but that is misleading. Some of the species in the big tank are a metre long or as round as a basket ball. The dinosaur area is fun with life-sized dinosaurs including a few animatronic ones in a lovely garden setting it's interesting to discover the dinosaurs fact as well as answer the quiz questions. The gift shop has many souvenirs which are marine related but are overpriced compared to the souvenir shops nearby selling the same goods. The food hall is over priced. A coffee, a muffin a brownie and a slushy cost £14. Way over the top on price and mediocre in taste. However all in all for the excellent value for money price paid and also during a school holiday it was an excellent day out.

Was a nice day out,well half a day daughter enjoyed seeing the fish and running around working out the clues to get a prize, also enjoyed the Dino section, worth also getting golf tickets once there as was good fun afterwards

Was a nice few hours out. Really liked the new dinosaur section. Been before and we will return again.

Went here to view the baby sharks swimming experience. The aquarium is small but good. There is a large tank, where you can listen to talks. Cafe and kids play area on the second floor. Nearest car park is at the embassy car park, however can get busy.

Lovely aquarium with hundreds of beautiful fish to view. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back 😊👍❤

Love it, clean, intresting there's quiz for children so it keeps them excited. Very friendly helpful stuff. Nice little place to visit and if you have blue lite card 20 % off but you need to ring first

We payed about £20 for 2 adults to see a few fishes... The guy at the reception told me that even though he's been suffering from asthma for 6months he could put 6 face masks on (sic!) and still breathe . He didn't have any on and told me to cover my face and nose despite my asthma. I think he should become the next Health minister. All illnesses would disappear straight away because he says so.

Helpful staff and nice place to visit and see sealife. The resturant has vegan options which means all thise with me could have lunch easily.

Love the place. Covid friendly.

Little expensive for the amount of activity but very nicely kept

Well organised, friendly helpful staff, lively atmosphere, great fish, sharks, rays sea life, lovely big clean tanks, lovely cafe again super friendly staff and clean too!! Play area was excellent too, had a really good time thank you!

Loved it here as usual.

Amazing

Lovely place

Great diving experience

Brilliant place me and my grandson loved it The staff was so lovely there as well

The aquarium was a good use of a couple of hours during a poor weather day. Good use of entry system but not very COVID secure once in.

Good place to visit,friendly staff,will pass a hour or 2 on but would struggle to spend much longer there

Amazing place to go to. Would definitely go again.

Disappointing for the price, a place u can get round and see everything within the hour. Go to the deep in hull miles better.

Came & took part in the shark 🦈 dive which was fantastic experience & a must do if on your bucket list. Staff were all lovely & made the whole experience a really lovely day.

Really good theme (pirates) for kids and great little quizzes along the way to keep them thinking. Really good variety of fish and other animals to see. The food and soft play in the cafeteria are great!! Keeps the kids entertained for ages and leaves the tastebuds wanting more! Really good!

I always forget how small the place is. quiet dark throughout. Due to covid19 the little glass globe where you go under to see fish was closed off was a bummer as my son wanted to see it. Staff were amazing 👍

Went to the Aquarium for the first time a few weeks ago - very impressed. They have lots and lots of different fish and creatures, the main tank is impressive with huge catfish and some sharks. I was there when it was feeding time, so fun to see a diver feeding the fish in the tank. They had all the necessary safety measures for covid, with hand sanitisers and waiting / viewing stickers on the floor.

fantastic shark diving experience. 🥰 Nudge is certainly a friendly shark😍while experience was well planned and staff are brilliant with the marine life - very caring and passionate. Have already revoked to do it again next year

Great place, great price, lots of beautiful sea life, would definitely reccomend. Take your time although, you can get round it pretty quickly. Cafe is great and view is beautiful also.

Had a lovely day. No problems with safe distances every one kept in there own bubble. Staff very welcoming, café open and very clean and very vijulant.

Good system in place. Fish very easy to see. Enjoyed watching the silver feed the Ray's and sharks and she even posed for pictures

Shark dive experience was spot on! Dive instructors were very friendly and accommodating. All round amazing experience, would deffo do it all again.

Took the kids out for the day and they had a really great time. Price wise it was good value for money and there was enough to see and we were there for about a couple of hours. The new dinosaur area wasn't the best thing but it was still fun especially the animation ones and the kids liked looking for the answers to the questions. The dinosaur jokes were a nice touch as was the excavation area where children can hunt for dinosaur bones. The gift shop had a huge queue but the prices were actually reasonable and there were options at all price points. Overall it was a nice day out and I would definitely recommend for other families with children.

Fantastic day out my son went in water with sharks and the staff were brilliant 👌🏻 planty to do inside even a play gym for kids while you have a coffee ☕

A well set out aquarium for all to enjoy .

Very well organised and safe. Interesting things to see xoxo

My 11 year old son Just done a shark dive experience... The staff were wonderful and josh took time to give him all the help he needed to build his confidence the Aquarium is small but very well laid out with lots of information about all the exhibits with a great viewing tank in the middle..

Not a lot to it for the amount I paid some good ideas,I particularly liked the fact you could colour in a picture then scan it to the wall and it comes alive. I do thing the quiz needs looking at as one of the answers we got to the clue was in actual fact wrong.

Great place to visit

Loved it, amazing little aquariam!

Great place for families

Simple but brilliant, great value for money!

We had a fantastic diving experience at Skegness Aquarium! We starred of with verbal training and then got into the training pool to get familiar with the equipment. Our instructor was funny and relaxed and we were immediately put at ease. I was worried I couldn't do it but I needn't have worried. It was incredible, almost no words can describe what it's like having fish and sharks swimming around you. It's one to tick off the bucket list and a stepping stone to doing this in Australia one day. We really liked the conservation element to the dive as well, we were sent information and a quiz beforehand. They care very much for their animals and I highly recommend giving this a go.

Brilliant the dive team were great

Loved it.

This was a safe place to visit during this time and the kids enjoyed doing the quiz with a present from the treasure chest and loved colouring their fish to then see them swimming

Good but could be bigger xx

Very interesting grandkids loved it

Well priced, just the right size for all ages. Plenty to do. Tanks were all clean and interesting for those living in it.

Better than I expected The wife wanted to go in I wasn't keen I was wrong once inside I enjoyed it and would visit again

Fantastic place for the family, staff really helpful, cafe was really clean and you can get a good brew there

Great place! Well run, clean and lovely staff

The outside promises more than the inside delivers.Poor value for money. Everything can be seen in less than 45 minutes
