During an extensive refurbishment to our Hologram Gallery, where new lighting has been fitted and several new holograms have been added to our collection, we have also responded to our customers comments, resulting in all the holograms being repositioned to make them easier for children to see. Returning customers have commented on these improvements.

I came last year to visit the aquarium and it's exhibitions. I returned this year during half term with my two children who loved the Holograms because they can now see them without having to be picked up. A great improvement, well done!

Customer 2.
I have visited the Aquarium many times. The Holograms are a big improvement, my daughter could see them all without having to be lifted up. Very good indeed, we have seen holograms that we hadn't noticed before. The new lighting makes all the difference.
