SEA LIFE London Aquarium

Wheni think Aquarium I think of having a dry undersea adventure. All the other Aquariums I've been to made me wish I could live under the sea with all these beautiful exhibits and fish.

This Aquarium however was pretty dreary and plain. It felt like mostly underground, very dark. The only things I really enjoyed was the big circular tank with the sharks and the tank that you can stand around and look down on the fish, mostly rays and such are in this tank.

There were a few types of fish that I was impressed by, but all and all it was not very exciting. We went to this on the first day of our trip after the london eye voyage since it was so close, we took lots of pictures..i think it was because we were so excited to be in London on our Honeymoon...afterwards going through the pictures most of them got deleted and I found myself saying things like " omg god how many pictures of fish does one person need" "man the lighting is bad" and "what was wrong with us that we took over 100 pictures of boring fish"

I am going back in July 2009 with my little sister who is 12...we will probably take her here but only because its a 2 min walk from our hotel and it will kill a little time.

Think large basements with poorly maintained, uninspired fish tanks. That's the feeling we got when we went to the London Aquarium. My wife and I went for a day out in London and wanted to see what the fuss was all about. So paid just over L25 for us and went in with a lot of anticipation. All we got was few tanks of fish, with large areas covered in billboards why should look after the environment and what rubbish they have collected from the Thames etc.

I'm all for saving the environment, but you don't have to come into the Aquarium to hear about it. We got the feeling that the whole thing was put together as a school project.

The only plus point was the crowded shark tank. The sharks just swims around a stone pillar as it has no where else to go. All the kids in the Aquarium seemed to be loving it though.

We were so disappointed in the end we had to pick ourselves up by watching "Sea Monsters 3D" at the IMAX. Very good.

We visited the london aquarium mainly because it was pouring with rain when we got of the london eye and it was close by. For me personally once youve seen one fish u seen em all. Its very expensive and a bit claustrophobic inside especially when its busy. You'll be round it in an hour and half max, so unless your really into fish dont bother. oh and theres an added attraction at the end that the kids will want to go into, some spook show.... you think its part of the sea life cos its inside but beware its about another tenna each to go in! Very crafty. Cant comment on it though cos we never forked out to go in, sos.
