Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium

I had a wonderful time at the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium. The aquarium is located in the heart of Lyme Regis, just a short walk from the beach. It is a small but well-curated aquarium with a variety of local sea creatures on display. The highlight of the aquarium is the opportunity to feed the mullet fish. The mullets come up in groups and it is a lot of fun to see them swimming around and eating the food. I also enjoyed holding a starfish. It was a little bit ticklish, but it was a cool experience to get up close to one of these creatures.The aquarium also has a number of other exhibits, including a tank of other fish and crabs. There is also a tank where you can see crabs and other creatures. The aquarium is well-maintained and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium to anyone visiting Lyme Regis.There is a gift shop on site where you can buy souvenirs and gifts related to the aquarium.

Lovely little aquarium displaying local marine life. Jenna was amazing - really enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Hand feeding the grey mullet was a highlight as was holding a starfish. Maybe a little expensive for what it is but for us it was definitely money well spent.

Absolutely fantastic afternoon spent here. Very friendly knowledgeable staff and very child friendly. My children enjoyed feeding the fish and holding a star fish. It is small so not an all day thing but we spent a good hour if nor longer there and loved every second. Everything is from the local area which is amazing really to be so close to it. Very much worth a visit and worth every penny. Thank you to the lovely man there yesterday who made us feel so welcome

Small but very interesting. Covering the range of sea creatures living locally.Two attractions for kids: fish feeding and a chance to hold starfish.Staff friendly and professional.You can see how much they care for animals and visitors experience.

Great fun, knowledgeable staff. It's not a big posh aquarium but you can feed the mullet and hold the starfish and there's lots of animals to see. We all enjoyed it

A unique experience for our granddaughter age 6 who loved hand feeding the mullet so much. The aquarium is well thought out with easy viewing and space to move at leisure. The staff made us feel welcome and shared their knowledge. The surfaces were the feeding took place were cleaned regularly and we were given soap on exit so that we could wash our hands as we left. We will be back on our next visit to Lyme Regis.

Really friendly, lovely young gentleman let my boys hold a starfish, and the boys fed some of the fish, you can see crabs, lobsters and local fish but the price of over £30 for a family of 4 for 15-20mins tops, is just too much for what little is in there, my only hope is that the money goes to conservation.

Small but perfectly formed, this wonderful gem at the end of the harbour in Lyme Regis is an experience not to miss. At first glance the price does seem high but please do not be put off, it is more than worth it. Feeding the mullet with my 4 year old son is a memory I will cherish for a long time. His delight at the fish eating the food right out of my hand was worth the entrance price alone.Also the chap (son of the owner I beleive) could not have been more helpful and welcoming. He spent so much time with us and my son, who is usally very shy and will hide away from strangers, really took to him and even stroked the star fish and spoke to him.I would highly recommend this attraction and the great people that run it.

We came here today and what fabulous surprise it was.My son is 7, absolutely loves fish and all things fish related. We entered and the owner instantly engaged my son (who can be very shy), he allowed him to feed the mullet on multiple occasions, which my son was absolutely gobsmacked with. He got to feed/touch the fish, hold a star fish and even on the way out he was given 2 shells which he is going to take to his class to show off when back at school.All in all a very pleasant experience made even nicer by the staff who were so lovely today.
