The Deep, Hull

[FussyElmo]

Going on holiday in a few weeks to yorkshire and we were considering a visit to the deep.

Now I have read some reviews and some have said you are better going to scarborough sea life centre.

So wondering what you guys think the deep or the sealife centre?

[curlycathy]

only been to Birmingham Sealife Centre not Scarborough so cant comment on what Scarboroughs like. Been to the Deep quite a few times though (including one never to be forgotten occasion when me and a cm friend had 10 children between us!!!). We love it, especially the tunnel and the lift through the water. I guess its maybe less hands on than a Sealife centre is. Sorry I am being no help whatsoever am I??

Ummm - the Deep has stuff about the planets when you first go in that I dont think you have in the Sealife centres. And I could be wrong but I think the Deep is cheaper.

Hope you enjoy your holiday anyway!x

I took my boys to The Deep when they were younger and they loved it, so did we. Mind you they were probably 8 and 12 at the time

we love the deep and go every summer if you keep your receipt you can go for free for the next 12 months too ( or something like that)
the kids love the sharks and they often have divers swimming in with them

I have never been to scarborough sea life though,

i've never been to the deep, but i have been to the sealife centre in scarborough!

we love it! they have amazing sea dragons! otters,penguins & seals and lots to sea. a little touch pool, and after the 'ray' talk, you can feed them! there are usually 2 for 1 vouchers at visitor centres, or i bought our tickets online and they were quite a bit cheaper ( not sure, they might do a childminder discount! ) ( you do need to pay for the carpark though, can't remember how much. )

having been to the sealife centre we then go rockpooling in the rocks/headland or walk round to the beach.

I've been to both and i like the deep best little more money but well worth it! but remember to book online and save 10% keep your ticket for next time you go with a picture you can got free for the next year. hope this helps!

when you book online you can also jump the que!

been to Scarborough Sea life centre today with another CM and 10 kids,

We had a great time and the kids loved it. If you are with Morton Michel you can get a discount through their Childcare club.

The oldest child will be 12 and the youngest 3. One is mad on sharks and two love space so thing we will head to the deep who knows if it rains will do both
