We took our son a while ago and he was totally transfixed by the fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

There was a cafe and shop with a wide range of gifts from pocket money to quite a bit more money. Definitely worth a look in with or without kids if you like fish, and the setting right next to the beach is beautiful too.

The staff all around the aquarium are very friendly and helpful and give talks to people on the creatures and will answer any questions you have. The only downside I found was we got around a bit too quickly as with small children they didn't want to hear many of the details they just wanted to look at things, so perhaps best for older children I'd say if you want to make a day of it, as with small children you could be in and out in an hour which makes it expensive. x

If you're into statistics - '10.5' x 10.5' x 3' (3.8 x 3.8 x 0.9m) and holds in excess of 2000 gallons/9500 litres' - apparently the biggest tank in any UK retail outlet! And lots and lots of little tanks too. Small boys and girls totally love this place. Adults are pretty keen too. Crying babies are soothed by the dark ambient lighting and the gentle waft and waggle of the passing fishies. There are some pretty gross things too, sort of wobbly intestinal sea-creatures. And some cuties like star fish and sea horses. It looks like a pretty innocuous warehouse from the outside, but even if you actually meant to go next door to buy daffodils you really have to see this. It's the biggest fishy thing going on in Wales with more fish than you could cast your net at.

Maidenhead Aquatics is located on the premises of Pugh's Garden Centre…read more Specialising in underwater animals, the centre is a haven for those who are fascinated by sea creatures. With everything from goldfish and sea urchins to manta rays and piranhas, the Aquatic centre has a vast range of sea life that will captivate even the most casual passer by. With such a wide array of sea creatures on display, it is only fitting they offer such habitat to house these animals, should you choose to purchase one of the slippery customers. Ranging from the most basic of fish tanks to perfectly intricate exotic aquariums, the centre caters for pet owners of all levels of experience. Although the price does differ significantly with the quality and size of the tanks, this is only to be expected with such specialist products. There is also a variety of ornaments on sale for those who like to personalise their tanks and aquariums, with items such as Spongebob Squarepants figurines for younger owners to meticulously detailed models like sunken ships and skulls for more mature enthusiasts. A great place to find anything you need for your underwater pet or an interesting place to go if you're at a loss on a weekend.

I have been keeping marines for over 30 years and anyone who keeps a tank like this should be ashamed, let alone someone who expects to sell the inhabitants for were top prices. There was a lot of rock that probably had some life on it long ago and a sad selection of softies that looked in very poor condition and overpriced for what they were. The best thing they could do would be to sell off what is still alive, sort out the water quality and re-stock, or just pack up. Why waste my time driving to look at a sad unhealthy collection. Give it up or pick it up, apart from anything else it isn't fair to the animals in their care. The hobby doesn't need these people. Steve

The knowledgeable gentleman at Aquatic House kindly explained to me that it would cost around £160 to get my new pet all kitted out, which has sort of put me off, but I admit this seems like a reasonable rate (however, it makes me yearn for an outdoor pond that my £15 terrapin could call home) If you're not a reptile enthusiast, Aquatic House has every marine and tropical fish you can imagine, even those cute little ones that look like Nemo (clown fish, I think?).

They have marine, corals, tropical, fancy cold water and oddballs, with livestock imported every week from all over the world. If you're really interested in getting a serious aquarium, these people know far more about all the kit and care than the likes of pet superstores such as Pets At Home, which sell only a limited range of aquariums and marine life. City Aquatics is a one stop shop where you can get everything in one go, along with advice from experts - whether you're shopping for aquariums, marine products, lighting, plants, medications, water treatment, fish food, air pumps or whatever else! Keeping a tropical aquarium can be quite a balancing act, if you want to keep your water clear and your fish healthy, so it's worth talking to an expert if you're a first-timer.

I still have a passion for sea life which made this spot a great start to a special day. I believe it was about £8 to enter but your ticket is valid for 12 months which is awesome. What I really enjoyed about my visit is how this place focused on education and Marine conservation. It's quite small with two floors but they pack the walls with info boards next to the lobsters. There was also a great video they showed upstairs about the lobster hatchery and lobsters in general. The upstairs room aside from the video was a great area for kiddos as well! I really enjoyed hearing the hatchery is increasing the lobster population by keeping the juveniles safe until releasing them to the wild.

It's not expensive to go in - £8 an adult buys you a year entry. So good so far but I suspect many like us are only there on holiday so unlikely to return within a year. But there's not a lot to see or do and if you don't get someone to guide you to what you are seeing it's likely you'll not stay very long, and be a tad annoyed at the cost/stay ratio. We had the advantage of a very knowledgeable chap who certainly answered all my questions and revealed lots of fascinating facts about these blue blooded creatures with complex life cycles who rely on urine for survival and procreation so it's vitally important. Who knew? We saw real small lobsters, born a few days earlier, that were remarkably tiny, we saw them roll in the water eating each other - survival of the fittest Darwinian theory right before us - and some old timers. We saw right and left handed lobsters, those with two crusher claws rather than one crusher and one cutter. As I said our guide was a wealth of knowledge and he even persuaded me to buy a lobster tea towel which he thrust in my hands. I just loved the sales pitch and the brass neck. I very much doubt though that anyone would still be there after 45 minutes unless there's a thunderstorm outside, even with a guide. As we left post £25 paid over we reflected that we were subsiding fisher folk who go catch lobsters, sell them locally to very wealthy restauranteurs who pay minimum wages and I have the pleasure of handing over £56 for a cooked one in a town with a food bank. It's a funny old world and a visit I doubt I'd ever repeat.
