Lake District Coast Aquarium, Maryport

“Lovely little place very interesting and loads of little sea creatures to see m, some not so little too! Great day out”

“A nice little aquarium, with a visit, had a decent adventure play area and minigolf attached to it aswell. mini golf needs updating, adventure play is great. Cafe is good, tea/cakes etc are great, but we felt the pressure to leave even with 30 mins until closing.”

“Visited here to expand the boundaries of a Lake District visit beyond the usual areas. So pleased I did. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. One gentleman in particular stands out for explaining the lifecycle of the jellyfish he was caring for. He clearly had a deep affinity for the subject and that came across loud and clear as he talked. This kind of makes you feel welcome there, rather than just someone who has payed for the right to pass through. The exhibits were varied and interesting. Also nice to see native / local species front and centre alongside their more exotic cousins. A genuine surprise was the free round of crazy golf that comes included in the entry fee. Not something you would normally pair with a visit to the Aquarium. The course is perhaps not the most colorful you will ever see, but it was free and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hole 13 is just not possible and I dare you to show me otherwise. Step of the beaten track and pay this place a visit if you can.”
