We recently visited the Bournemouth Oceanarium. It is a really interesting place and very well maintained. Right through from booking to the experience itself all the staff were very helpful. Our penguin experience with Chris was amazing. He was excellent. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. It was a lovely celebration of our golden wedding anniversary! We would certainly recommend a visit.
We have visited several similar attractions in the UK and this was one of the best. There was no loud, intrusive music playing as experienced in London and the signage did not dumb down the information which was excellent. The café provided generous portions of food and drink.
