It's full of film memorabilia and has some activities and talks etc. we plan to visit again when we go in April. If you know the films you will like it.

Yes exactly this, it's not a big touristy place it's a small working aquarium. We found the interaction with the staff members fantastic, as soon as we arrived DS 10 got chatting to a lady all about the turtles, she was very informative. You can easily see Winter and Hope both from upstairs and in the underwater viewing area. DS got to hold Winters special gel and tail while a gentleman told us all about it and the highlight for DS was feeding sting rays. There was a lovely young girl Alexis with the sting rays that DS was chatting to, he told her about a poem he had just written at school about sting rays and she asked him if he could remember it but he couldn't. Later after we had been to the other part of the exhibition i went on his school website on my phone and found his poem so we nipped back in to find Alexis and showed her. She loved it and thanked us for coming back to show her. If you enjoyed the film's then it's definitely worth a visit and a nice break from the parks.

So with it being in two parts how long does it take to get from one part to the other? My DD will love the movie part as she lives both the films.

It's about 10/15 mind, there was also a queue for both the day we went, but it was very busy.
