Do they have seahorses?

I've been through the website and there's no mention of them, have emailed without reply.

Is it worth visiting? anyone been?

I went recently and seem to remember at least one of the display tanks having sea horses on show.

It also seemed a lot smaller than I had remembered. We didn't quite manage to do it in 20 minutes but it didn't last for much more than an hour. Not great value at £14-15 per adult...

went about 8 years ago, thought it was pretty good, probably better if you`ve small children, there was an open area where you can dip your hands in as the skate / rays swim past...children like that

Sea life area that smells of the sea

think there`s a glass tunnel through the main tank with sharks in etc

Good collection of tiny poisonous incredibly brightly colourd amazonian tree frogs....I like frogs

I think we used tesco vouchers and got in at 25% normal cost, can`t believe we`d have paid full price

It`s still cheap compared to legoland though

Me and the missus went and spent hours there. Guess it depends what you like, I thought it was good.

Knowsley Safari Park have a seahorse show, Only last's about 10 min's though but they are on display all day i think. I went there Last sat.

3 weeks ago i went to Blueplanet and dont recall any seahorses, and only take about 1hr - 1hr 30 to get around. but chesire oaks right next door so can spend a few hours on there aswell.

I went there several years ago, wasn't that impressed. May be worth it using Tesco points ^^^ for discount.

The Porsche garage next door is more interesting!

Went a couple of weeks ago with Mrs C and our two nieces, competition prize so a freebie - I certainly wouldn't have paid £30 for it. It took a couple of hours but that was probably because we were doing a treasure hunt with the girls. They do have seahorses in one of the display areas.

I think you can stroke 'rays?
No I can't be bothered to phrase that differently

Who's ray?

There was several rays, letting children stroke them.

I've been a few years back. Like others have said it didn't take long to get round and it's quite expensive, so not really worth it.

As some of the others have said...not really good value for money.Better off going to Chester zoo,plenty of seahorses in their aquarium.

[RobDickinson]

Went a couple of times when I lived in the UK, never thought it wa value for money but must cost a bomb to run, always had seahorses.

2nd chester Zoo as a better alternate.
