Great place to visit, lots of different sea creatures to see. Penguins were an added bonus we were not expecting to see.
The children absolutely loved it.
Only scoring 4, because I feel the entrance price is a bit high and the cafe was closed for maintenance.

Solid day out! We arrived for our 12:00 booking time and were in within seconds. I didn't catch the name of any of the staff who aided us but were all great. Really helpful gent on the front desk who just had a positive glow about him. Super cool lady who was a giggle where we got to touch a starfish! And finally the lady who served us in the gift shop was super polite.

I've seen a few comments about the price of entry but something to bare in mind is, you can round as many times as you want. We first went round at 12:00, finished and went to go get a bite to eat. Came back at 14:00 and done it again. The gent that welcomed us in during the morning even recognised us and got us in quickly again without us having to fumble for tickets.

Can't wait for the cafe to be open on site so I can come back and try it!

As mentioned earlier, I didn't get the names of any staff, but all on shift yesterday (26/03/22) were amazing and deserve the recognition

Finally. There's a massive Sea Turtle! That's justification to check the place out enough!

Sea Life is always a really beautiful experience! The creatures to be seen there are incredible and the venue itself is set out really well. It was easy to walk around and enjoy, even though it was quite a busy day. The 360 tunnel is amazing and definitely the highlight! It could be said that the ticket admission cost is expensive given that fact- however when you consider the cost of running such a place and caring for these incredible creatures, I think the price is probably necessary and it was definitely an experience my children will treasure.

A lovely place to take young children! I would say it is really expensive (even pre booking was about £70 for a family of 4) so we wouldn't go again. It only takes about 30 minutes to walk around so definitely take your time and if you get to the shark tunnel, go back and enjoy everything again before leaving- we spend about an hour in there but couldn't of really spent any longer. Having said that, there is lots to see and lots to learn!

Visited with my partner, it was his first time at an aquarium and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Perfect for all ages and so much to see. It’s definitely worth taking your time with each section to appreciate everything. The staff were really helpful and lovely. Was one of our favourite holiday activities :)

Smaller than expected, paid for 4 of us and with discount it was £64. We enjoyed the experience but the 3 stars are because it only took just over an hour to get round the whole place. Some of the attractions weren't open which was a shame. The staff however were lovely.

We were totally out of season ( mid-January) so it was a bit grim outside !!! But not so here. Brilliant. We were made very welcome, staff were friendly and informative. There were very few tourist's so absolutely all the tanks could be viewed easily, as could all the information boards. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy - despite there being building work going on. We stayed for a couple of talks, and the shark feeding, which were great. Staff constantly walking round, asking questions, giving information and offering snippets of advice as to where to look etc. We used a voucher, so paid £20 for the two of us. Excellent value. Parking directly outside (free between Oct - March), new toilet facilities, and a well stocked cafe with Costa coffee.

Great experience. It was a little on the pricey side for a relatively short experience, but I believe SEA LIFE puts the money towards awareness and conservation efforts, which makes it worthwhile. It's clear that a lot of thought has been put into the experience as you walk round, as it is fun for adults and little ones alike. On the bright side, you are permitted to go round more than once. You can even feel a starfish, if you'd like. The cafe is okay as well if you're stuck for somewhere to eat. They also have the most luxurious disabled toilet I've ever seen.
