Families Enjoy Summer Activities at The Deep Aquarium in Hull

This summer, families in Hull have an exciting opportunity to explore the wonders of marine life at The Deep, the city’s award-winning aquarium. With the school holidays in full swing, The Deep is offering a range of fun and educational activities designed for visitors of all ages. From interactive sessions to hands-on discovery, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Rock Pools & Rocky Shores Event

One of the highlights of the summer at The Deep is the new Rock Pools & Rocky Shores event. This exciting programme allows families to dive into the fascinating world of UK coastal wildlife. Visitors can participate in daily virtual rockpool activities and 'Seashore Safari' sessions, scheduled at 12pm and 2pm, where they can learn about the unique creatures that inhabit our shores.

Young explorers will particularly enjoy the chance to handle and identify real fossil artefacts. This activity not only lets children engage with history but also helps them uncover intriguing facts about these ancient items. The informative sessions are designed to spark curiosity and foster a love for marine conservation among young visitors.

Indoor Attraction, No Matter the Weather

As a fully indoor attraction, The Deep is a fantastic option for families looking for a day out, regardless of the weather. Whether it’s raining or shining, guests can enjoy a variety of amazing habitats and come face-to-face with awe-inspiring marine life. From colourful fish to majestic sharks, the experience promises to be unforgettable.

Great British Summer Savings

This summer, families can also take advantage of the Great British Summer Savings scheme. The Deep is offering discounted admission tickets, making it more affordable for families to create lasting memories during the holidays. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that more families can enjoy the wonders of the aquarium without breaking the bank.

Additionally, every standard admission ticket serves as an Annual Pass, allowing visitors to enjoy unlimited free return visits for an entire year. This means that families can continue to explore and learn throughout the year, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone interested in marine life and conservation.

John Andrews, Head of Operations & Guides at The Deep, expressed excitement about the summer events:

“Rock Pools & Rocky Shores is a great opportunity to engage with families over the summer, inspiring them to appreciate the beauty and diversity of UK wildlife, as well as how we can all work together to protect these species.”

Moreover, the staff at The Deep will be sharing important safety tips for beach visits, which is particularly relevant as many families head to the coast during the warmer months. Ensuring that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience while exploring nature is a key focus for the aquarium.
