点评:A lovely little aquarium situated on the quayside at Ilfracombe. Entry was via the cafe and cost £8.50 with discount for older people.
We spent over 2 hrs learning about, and following the journey from an Exmoor stream to the harbour. It involved exhibits both written and visual; and the male and female aquarium staff demonstrated enthusiasm and passion with their
detailed knowledge. In order to enhance the experience for us, the animals were fed to demonstrate points that the staff were making.
We were fortunate to be present when a spider crab shed its shell, and we were able to handle the new moult, which was fascinating.
The viewing platform was a real bonus as we spent ages with a birds eye view of rays, plaice and other large fish.
Although small, it is run to zoological standards and well worth every penny.
Whilst we didnt have children with us, there were many present and eagerly engaged by both parents and staff in learning about what goes on in waters around us.

我们花了两个多小时来了解水流从埃克斯穆尔地区的溪流最终流入港口的整个过程。馆内设有文字与图片相结合的展示品;两位男女工作人员凭借丰富的知识,展现出了极大的热情与专业态度。为了提升我们的参观体验……这些动物被用来作为实例,以说明工作人员想要表达的观点。
我们很幸运能在一只蜘蛛蟹蜕壳时在场,还能亲手触摸它刚蜕下的新壳,真是令人着迷。
观景台真是个意外的惊喜——我们花了很长时间从高处观赏鳐鱼、鲽鱼以及其他大型鱼类。
虽然规模不大,但这里完全符合动物园的标准,绝对物超所值。
虽然我们这次没有带孩子同行。许多家长和工作人员都到场了,他们都兴致勃勃地了解着我们周围水域中发生的种种事情。
