Awesome day out with the kids
Highly recommend this experience!! My girls - 7yrs & 8yrs loved it so much. We drove from London specially for this and spent the whole weekend in Skegness. Whist Snorkelling the baby sharks swam freely around the children- there were 7 of them-3 different types. The girls were excited to handle shark eggs too and the instructor was very nice and gave us lots of conservation information. The whole experience was fantastic and great value for money as we got to explore the Aquarium afterwards.

The children loved it!
The children loved this experience. We booked them individually so that we could both go in and watch, and had to purchase my son an additional spectator slot. The instructor was really good with the kids and they claimed it was the best day EVER! I wouldn't recommend the additional spectators slot as you're just watching on a TV in the next room. Includes access to aquarium which was really good too!

It was the greatest day ever
Took my 8 year old who found the day fantastic. He said it was the greatest day. The guys there was amazing with the kids and knew their sharks. Had lots of time to tell the kids about each sharks, the team knew the sharks and all about them which made it great. To be able to get so close to these amazing animals really made his day. Would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing!
Hi 👋🏻 Yesterday my son did the snorkelling ranger experience.. in his words “it’s been the best day of my life”. Harry loved every second of the experience, he’s adored sharks since he was 2 years old - he could name every shark before he could speak sentences, so yesterday was quite possibly a dream come true for him and the staff made sure that was the case! Honestly, could not be more grateful. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful day!

"BEST day ever" ages 6, 7 & 9
My children aged 6, 7 and 9 had "the BEST day ever" snorkelling with sharks at skegness aquarium, well worth the 8 hour driving round trip! The lady instructor educated the children in a calm but fun way, good size small group of 6. Beautiful baby sharks, wonderful huge aquarium and 3 v happy children that are now looking forward to being old enough to do the full dive! HIGHLY recommend this amazing experience.

Wonderful experience
Perfect day out. Brilliant, enthusiastic staff who gave our son a wonderful experience he hasnt stopped talking about. It starts with a briefing then it's time to get kitted up & into the water. The pool is fairly small - a good thing as the little ones can stand & there are around 6 small sharks in there up to 40cm long. Honestly, it's brilliant, just book it!

Fab experience
My son was the one who used the experience. It was informative and my son enjoyed it. It's perhaps not like snorkelling (as you'd think) as all he was doing was standing with his face in the water. He did enjoy it though.

Disappointing
Maybe our expectations were too high but our hot tub was bigger than the tank! Did NOT include snorkelling, very misleading, standing and sticking your head in water does not equate to which the title suggests. Also had to pay £14 for other family members admissions and even then they weren’t allowed into the room, had to watch on a screen, all in the small print maybe? The only plus was that we got to stay in the aquarium afterwards for as long as we wanted. The guide was very knowledgable.

Not snorkeling
Very disappointing, I wouldn't class this experience as snorkeling at all. The kids stand in a tiny swimming pool which is waist height in water, hold on to a rope and lean forward and put the face mask millimetres into the water to see the sharks and that's it, that's all they did. My daughter was disappointed with the experience. They could easily have just put normal goggles on to do it. Wouldn't recommend
