In addition to the hundreds of varieties of fish and sea life from all over the world, including stingrays, sharks, piranhas and sea scorpions, the aquarium's Shark Walk allows visitors to walk over a floating glass platform with sharks swimming just below their feet. Californian cownose rays which swim in synchronised formation are another recent feature, as is a tunnel constructed from a 25-metre-long whale skeleton, beneath which visitors can view a tropical ocean of fish, coral and green turtles. New for Easter 2013 is the Ocean of Stars display showcasing six different species of starfish, with a central pop-up display enabling visitors to get a close-up view in the tentacle tunnel. The Rainforests of the World area, complete with exotic vegetation, a tropical waterfall, is home to a pair of six-foot dwarf crocodiles. The aquarium is well placed for the attractions of the South Bank; it's right beside the London Eye and a 20-minute walk along the river from Tate Modern.

"A zoo in an Aquarium". I took my kids over the holidays. It was an absolute nightmare. Crowded, smelly, dirty. People are unrespectful. No staff around. Quite expensive for the experience. No big news but If you plan to go, avoid the holiday time.

Worse than rubbish. Doesn't deserve one star. As crowded as the underground in rush hour. Kids didn't get to see anything. Cruel to people and not much fun for the fish especially the dying starfish being 'petted' by children. Entertainment? In your dreams.

Overpriced, cramped and all you are paying for is to see the main tank repeatedly. Poorly executed decoration and little staff supervision. Not recommended for anyone but very young children. Anyone with a real interest in marine life / zoology is much better served at London Zoo.

took the fam (2 ad, 2 kids) last saturday. Same old same old. don't believe the hype; sure it's great to see wonderful creatures, but 'seen one giant fish tank, seen 'em all'. Also the 'terrible scary shark thing' was SO LAME! :(
