Dive into an interactive underwater world of discovery and wonder at The Deep, Hull’s iconic aquarium, where accessibility and unforgettable experiences go hand in hand. As one of the UK’s most accessible visitor attractions, The Deep welcomes everyone to discover awe-inspiring marine life, from sharks, sawfish, turtles and stingrays to playful penguins and mesmerising jellyfish. Stroll through the spectacular underwater tunnel as sharks glide overhead, relax in the tranquil jellyfish exhibit, or enjoy the daily talks and artefact handling sessions, offering an engaging experience for visitors of all ages.
Accessibility has been carefully considered throughout the attraction. Step-free access is available across the site, with lifts serving every floor and accessible parking close to the entrance. Complimentary wheelchairs, walking aids and a limited number of mobility scooters are available to borrow, while accessible toilets and a fully equipped Changing Places facility provide additional peace of mind.
Visitors with sensory or hidden disabilities are well supported, with free sensory packs available from Reception, a downloadable Social Story to help plan ahead, quiet spaces on request, and participation in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme. Assistance dogs are warmly welcomed, and free admission is available for essential carers accompanying visitors who require support.
Take a break at The Plaice café, serving breakfasts, meals, sandwiches, cakes and snacks, or enjoy your own food in the indoor Picnic Plaice area before browsing the Deep-Artment Store for marine-inspired gifts and souvenirs. Better still, every standard admission ticket becomes an Annual Pass, giving unlimited free returns for 12 months. Open all year round, The Deep offers the perfect all-weather day out, while every visit supports its work as a conservation and education charity dedicated to protecting the world's oceans.
