The ticket price stung a bit we probably should have booked in advance on line. Got there early but not long after the place was full of screaming children which spoiled the relaxing atmosphere lol. Fabulous exhibits throughout. The restaurant is alongside the children’s play area and decor a bit garish I would love to see an adult chill out zone as the exhibits are quite soothing/ relaxing

This was our second trip to this aquarium and we enjoyed it as much as the first. My favorite part is the moving walkway going through the big tank with fish, sharks, stingrays and a turtle. It is very family and kid friendly so be prepared if you aren’t bring any yourself. We had no problems with this, but we were a group of adults with no children in tow. We had fun watching little ones experiences. Highly recommend going!

Riley’s Museum is an amazing place to visit. I was impressed by the variety of marine under one roof. The vibrant colours of fish are beautiful. You can spend quite a few hours just looking at these wonderful creatures. They do offer senior discount which is nice. I would definitely recommend this place to take your family to.
