点评:We visited St Andrews as a couple and fancied a slightly different activity to our history and golf heavy weekend. The aquarium was a lovely change of pace and it's always fascinating to see all of the different species that we only get to experience with the help of aquariums. I would say this aquarium, as many are, is largely geared towards children and families. The meerkats are super cute and you get to see them quite close up!
We are far from animal experts but it did make us a little sad to see how little room a lot of the bigger species had in their tanks. The aquarium is quite small; even with reading all of the exhibit information and viewing the shark feeding, we were out within an hour. In light of this, we found the entry to be quite expensive. We appreciate this is a family run business and the keeping of these animals must cost quite a bit, so didn't grudge the price too much in the end. Our biggest disappointment was the huge orange octopus on the aquariums signs without there actually being a real octopus in the building! It's quite possible we missed it but after reading a really popular fiction book about an octopus, I was very excited at the possibility of seeing one in person.

我们远非动物专家,但看到许多大型物种的水箱空间如此之小,确实让我们感到有些难过。水族馆很小;即使阅读了所有的展览信息并观看了鲨鱼喂食,我们也在一小时内就离开了。鉴于此,我们发现入场费相当昂贵。我们知道这是一家家族企业,饲养这些动物肯定要花不少钱,所以最后并没有太在意价格。我们最大的失望是水族馆招牌上的巨大橙色章鱼,而建筑里实际上并没有真正的章鱼!我们很可能错过了它,但在读了一本关于章鱼的非常受欢迎的小说后,我非常兴奋能亲眼看到一只章鱼。
