The Deep is one of the UK’s most spectacular aquariums, the cutting-edge family attraction comprises a £53 million underwater aquarium with over 3500 animals including sharks, rays, penguins, turtles and more.
The World’s only Submarium
Dubbed the ‘the world’s only submarium’, The Deep opened at its site overlooking the Humber estuary and River Hull in March 2002, in a stunning building designed by Sir Terry Farrell for the UK National Lottery Millennium Commission. The family attraction featured on a Royal Mail stamp and has become an icon for Kingston-Upon-Hull.

The Deep aims to create a deeper understanding and enjoyment of the ocean through stunning marine life, interactive displays and presentations.

An Informative and Captivating Family Day Out
The family attraction offers both an informative and captivating family day out, featuring stunning marine life and plenty of activities for all the family to enjoy. The attraction showcases state of the art interactive displays on its conservation and marine research programmes.
