Reviews
"It was a fantastic place to go if you like sea life. I’ve expected more aquatic animals inside but that’s not too bad. Had a pleasant day at blue reef aquarium."
"What a great day out, located in the family friendly area of Southsea, Blue Reef is just one of many ways to spend a day, and spend an entire day there you very well could! The staff are great, the site is large and contains a fantastically diverse array of animals and the gift shop is filled with brilliant trinkets and collectibles that are almost (but not quite) as eye-catching as their real life counterparts. Ticket prices are fair and there is a cafe on-site that I've heard good things of (but am yet to try myself.) If you're looking for a way to entertain the kids, a romantic afternoon getaway or you're just someone who likes watching animals simply be, then I could not recommend Blue Reef more."
"£44 for 2 adults and 2 kids for a 10 minute walk around was well overpriced. First time I've ever seen the elusive cement mixer fish as well. Place was run down, outside area was awful. On a plus the entrance staff where lovely. Wouldn't go again though, I feel sorry for the fish."
"Cute little aquarium, good price but is smaller than most aquariums I've visited. Great for kids. Turtle with an attitude problem, adorable otters, fishing strictly prohibited and don't feed your kids to the sharks (it upsets their stomachs)."
"Fab couple of hours spent walking around. Loads of different displays to look at. Really friendly staff very helpful. Can use ticket all day which is fab definitely come again. The chuncky turtle or tortoise loves pink and will follow you up and down the enclosure"
