Reviews
"The aquarium was smaller than we expected, but this was a bonus with a 5 year old that has a short attention span. We were able to talk with the staff and they answered all of our questions in the best detail, we also got to see some of the fish being fed & gain more knowledge of those sea creatures. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back!"
"We, 2 adults and 5 kids, went to the aquarium and it was €61 which I felt was excellent value. They say you could do it all in 45 minutes but we stayed nearly 2 hours. The kids loved it from the minute we walked in the door at the first tank. There's a great variety of fish from Irish waters and they look really well cared for and healthy. The feeding times were a hit also and the caretaker was extremely informative and had no problem spending extra time answering our questions. If I have one complaint it was that some tanks didn't have the names of the fish on them and the big fish tank had more types of fish than mentioned on the display. Apart from that, I highly recommend it for a family morning or afternoon."
"Nice visitor attraction. The splash as you go in was a real adrenalin rush. Plenty to see and do, including (for us) spot the flat fish. The children in there all looked to be having a good time too. It wasn't too crowded first thing. Loved the sharks"
"Ranks as one of the best in Ireland. Knowledgeable staff, well kept premises with great displays. Plenty of information on hand. Teenagers may be a little bored to be honest but younger children and adults will find plenty to interest them. Some massive tanks that are very well stocked. Don't rush through, take you time to explore and read the well presented information and you won't be disappointed. Well worth a visit."
