Visit The Deep, Hull’s award-winning aquarium and enjoy a fun-filled family day. Journey through prehistoric seas, past tropical lagoons, into vast open oceans, down to dark depths, through the Kingdom of ice and into the future. With over 5,000 animals, including spectacular sharks and rays, the UK’s only Green sawfish, hundreds of tropical reef fish in the Lagoon of Light exhibit, Loggerhead sea turtles and a colony of Gentoo penguins, there's something to entertain all ages. Join us at Discovery Corner for artefact handling sessions. Stop by Endless Oceans where 2.5 million litres of water and 87 tonnes of salt make this home to an array of species. Don’t miss the penguins in the chilly Kingdom of Ice and walk through the amazing glass tunnel before riding in the glass lift through the 10m Endless Oceans exhibit. Located in the heart of the City Centre, The Deep is a five minute walk from the stunning Hull Marina, quirky Museums Quarter, shops, bars and restaurants – an ideal day out for the whole family. Would you like to become a ‘Friend of The Deep’ and support us? For a donation of £15, £25, £50 or £100 you can #JoinOurShoal with a personalised fish plaque which will be mounted on our supporter’s wall in the reception area and a digital certificate in recognition. It could be a gift for a friend, in memory of a loved one, a family name, or just to show your support - it's up to you!
