I'd say have low expectations and you might enjoy it. We took the train which stops at a short walk to deep sea world (very steep brae). We thought it was pretty pricey (£60) for what you get to be …Full review by Cheryl S

We were reading the reviews when travelling from the Borders, and have to say were a little anxious as some really lousy ones. We had a four year old and a two year old with us and they thought it w…Full review by Pauline C

Awful! Myself and my son (7yrs) visited in the schools Easter holidays. On walking in the staff on reception couldn't have less welcoming or even remotely interested, he basically flung a flyer at me…Full review by Gillian G

Unless you want to see all the great talks that both facilities have to offer the two could be easily accomplished in a day. Deep sea world is open from 10am to 5pm but you want to be there at least one hour before closing time to get access. Deep sea world can take up to an hour to explore if you are not wanting to see the talks or overly bothered about taking photographs. Deep sea world also has a shark classroom where you can see an impressive little collection of fossils and have encounters with bearded dragons, snakes and insects, but dynamic earth also offers a similar experience but more towards the earth sciences as a whole rather than marine biology/conservation which would obviously take a bit longer to explore if that's your kind of thing. The two can be accomplished but otherwise it would be best to take up membership with deep sea world that way if you are ever in the area you could always pop in just to see the enclosures.
