Hastings Aquarium

"Once inside, the kiddo was really into the aquarium (I find it can always be a bit hit or miss – some days he loves it, others he isn’t interested). His favorite animals were the Spider Crab that kept wandering up and down the first basin, the octopus that kept playing on the window, and the ray that kept showing us its mouth through the glass. I think the size of this aquarium is brilliant for a 3.5 year old as there is plenty to see but the space isn’t overwhelming. The only challenge was that some of the basins are quite high up with no foot stools available (might be due to the pandemic?) for the kids to step on, so I had to do a lot of awkward lifting up."
