    You should encounter the huge yellow turtle and must visit the amazing jellyfish area, very beautiful. The tickets are little bit expensive tho

    A nice little family day out, the kids love it. Get your hand stamped so you can go out for lunch and come back anytime up to 4pm.

    Take the plunge, visit this nature centre and see the UK’s first hammerhead sharks, huge turtles, rays and a lot more. Little bit pricey but you might be lucky to get a voucher from a local paper.

    Worth a visit. Look out for vouchers or book online to save money. No cafe anymore. Park in Brindleyplace as it's nearer than NIA.

    Fantastic family day out. Admittedly way too packed in the summer holiday but still had fun. The Otters are adorable! <3

    Great place but the toilets by the gift shop seem to be forever closed so remember to use the ones by the main entrance

    Extremely expensive, nice but had to drag my grandsons round for a second go otherwise we’d seen enough in 90 mins, and they were bored! No cafe just vending machines. Dragged this out - 3 hours max

    Nightmare on Bank holidays if you have a buggy. Very narrow corridors.

    This has to be the worst place to come in half term! Far too many visitors allowed in, trapped in an enclosed one way circuit - no cafe, snack machines broken. Pure hell!

    If you don't have kids, avoid half term. I, unfortunately, have no choice!

    Expensive for what it is. Try to get deals rather than paying full price.
