Reviews of Exploris Aquarium
"It is about an hour drive from Belfast but it was worth it. There's a variety of ocean fish and sea creatures including seals, otters, penguins and reptiles. Unfortunately the main shark tank was being renovated and unavailable at the time but we knew that ahead. Nevertheless we've enjoyed ourselves and had a great time. The food in the restaurant was good as well."
"We had a great family day out at Exploris Aquarium, I hadn't been in years and was really impressed with the upgrades that had been made! It used to be much smaller, you could have made your way around everything in less than half an hour. But they have added so much, including an outdoor section with picnic tables which allowed us to sit down to feed our baby without getting in the way. We'll definitely be back!"
"Really great afternoon enjoyed at Exploris. This place is so improved and I recommend all to visit, there is so much to see. I even rate the food in the cafe highly. At the end of our visit we both had a really delicious late lunch."
"A small aquarium packed with fun. Pleasantly surprised to see other types of animals not from the sea. There is a soft play area for kids too. Restaurant serves decent food with a nice view. Great place to bring your kids to have a day out."
