Mevagissey Aquarium

Very interesting and informative visit to the aquarium. I was happy to wear a mask. Free to enter but I put a £1 donation in the box on the way out, well worth it.

It's ok, no national marine aquarium but good to the the old lifeboat hut going to use & not falling into decay?Just got some examples of local species in tanks, it is free & asking for donations.

Thought it'd be nice, but to see fish crammed in to tanks is so disheartening. They had an eal which looks as though it was stuck, the fish looked depressed. That isn't an aquarium, it's a place we're you can take a photo and say you've seen some lobsters, I came out of there feeling awful, tanks are so small, some didn't seem to have enough room to turn around. Didn't donated as it was cruel, would be nice to have some nice natural vegetation, not just the logs, the fish were just there to be looked at.. what a shame

Took our daughters here for a quick visit. It's only small, I believe it's based on an old lifeboat house, but houses a selection of sea life found locally.It might only be a few minutes distraction for kids (depending just how much they get into watching the sea creatures) but I don't really think you can complain when it's free to get in.

It’s great! It’s free! We made a small donation and had a fun 10 minutes

You wouldn't think it would be much from the outside and would be easy to miss, but this is a little gem and well worth a visit.I was surprised at the size and variety of the sea creatures on display, all caught locally by local fishermen and donated to the display.The tanks look well maintained and the fish happy and healthy and the aquarium seems to be maintained in very good order.Entrance is free but a donation is suggested and well deserved.

Hard to fault a free walk in aquarium. 9 tanks and dome interesting information.

We visited the aquarium 2 days in a row with our 19 month old son. In total we gave £10 in donations across both days.Sadly, during our second visit, the lady was incredibly rude to our son. After our son's very short squeal of excitement, whilst we were already correcting him, she proceeded to tell him sternly that he would scare the fish.I spoke to the lady and explained that he is only very young and found the experience exciting to which she responded that I need to 'make him stop'. She then deliberately banged the leader next to our son whilst staring at him. Absolutely disgusted with the way that I was spoken to and hope that all holidaymakers are not treated in this way especially very young children.

Very bad place forcing massive wild caught fish into small aquariums. This poor eel and many other fish in there are in pure misery. This place should be closed down and reported for endangerment and abuse.

Lovely little aquarium by the harbour- clean tanks and lots of native species to enjoy. A great and educational way to spend some time in Mevagissey (free entry but donations were gratefully received!).
