The Deep Hull

The Deep in Hull is one of the UK’s most spectacular aquariums, home to thousands of marine animals including sharks, rays, turtles and tropical fish. Visitors can explore immersive exhibits such as the underwater tunnel and coral reef displays, as well as experience the dramatic glass lift that travels through a 10 metre deep ocean tank. Interactive exhibits, daily talks and hands on experiences help visitors learn more about marine life and conservation, making it a popular attraction for families and visitors of all ages.

The aquarium is designed to be highly accessible, with level access at the main entrance and step free routes throughout the building. Accessible lifts connect all floors, and display information is available in audio, braille and large print formats to support visitors with different accessibility needs.

Assistance dogs and emotional support dogs are welcome.

Accessible parking is available onsite, with 14 designated accessible bays located approximately 60 metres from the entrance.
