High-priced pastimes: the extortionate aquarium . . .


Earlier this morning, The G and I took a trip to our local aquarium . . .
I haven't taken her for quite some time, but she has been asking to go for the last month or so. The B dispatched to school and several spare hours at our disposal, I decided the time to return had come.
It's quite good at the aquarium and, in terms of marine species, it ticks all the important boxes. It isn't big, however and, as-per-usual, spinning our visit out to a full half-an-hour proved to be quite a challenge.
For The G, the main attraction, as always, wasn't the fish or the seals or the otters (all asleep), but the 50p-a-go ride-on Peppa Pig car in the foyer.
It costs £15.50 for The G and I to go to the aquarium, the admission price for three-year-olds set at a rather ambitious £6.50. Bearing all this in mind - and considering two hours of soft play costs just £3 - I just remembered why we don't visit more often . . .
