The Deep

On Thursday we caught the train to Hull and went to The Deep. This is a marine-themed attraction with aquariums covering various marine environments - from anemones to the open ocean and jellyfish. The most impressive was the shark pool - with large sharks gliding past and my favourite exhibit - a sawfish!

One of the best features is the glass lift which travels up through the shark tank and pauses for a few seconds to allow you to see the fish better. The only downsides were poor signage (no signs to the "Monsters of the Deep" presentation) and noisy school parties.

Here are a few photos I took on our visit (click the photos to see them properly!):
