We had the pleasure of visiting earlier today and it was a huge hit with us all! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and can't thank Paul enough. We had a fantastic time and learned a lot, we were very sad to leave and can't wait to come back. Thank you again ????

First time visitor. Its a little gem of a place. I will definitely return with family and grandchildren. The animals are so well looked after and John was amazing with the birds and snakes etc.his knowledge and love of the birds is plain to see. Loved the fact that the birds of prey get to fly outside and the smaller birds fly free around the huge enclosure. All staff were amazing and friendly. Food was amazing and the views and grounds are to die for. Excellent value for money got to see lizards, snakes etc out of their enclosures. Wishing the business continued success.

Tynemouth Aquarium

Situated on the award winning Longsands beach Tynemouth Aquarium is home to some amazing animals. See sharks, seals and some amazing fish as well as monkeys and reptiles! The new exhibit; River Giants takes you away to a tropical rainforest and brings you up close to some huge fish! Make sure you check out some of the interactive talks and feeds throughout your visit.

For a relatively small space, there really is plenty to see. I was pleasantly surprised to even see some cute Tamerin monkeys too! You can get up close and personal with plenty different species of marine life, which was great. We also enjoyed the seal show. The place was clean and the staff very friendly, so I cannot fault it.
