4.00A truly enjoyable experience. Was lucky enough to avoid a huge crowd and therefore could take several good pictures. Staff were helpful and cooperative.
A great time was had by all

4.00Had a great time with my daughter and grandson. Although he is only 1 there was still lots for him to enjoy. We got a deal, but I do find admission a little expensive generally. We were they the best part of 3 hours as my grandson was having a great time toddling about. It was quiet as we went mid week and not in school holidays. Staff were very attentive with my grandson

2.00This is my second time to the sea life centre. The first was a few years ago and it was reasonably priced, with a 4d film extending the visit. This time however was very disappointing. Firstly the star attractions were absent - the otter tank was empty. Maybe that was bad luck with timing, but what was unforgivable was that the 4d cinema had been replaced with a paid for CR experience. I’d already paid for 4 tickets to get into sea life, and now they were asking for another £28 for this! I refused to pay…and judging by how empty the pods were, I was not alone. The lack of 4d cinema meant that our visit to sea life was over after just 60 minutes. The kids enjoyed it, but be warned it is VERY expensive for what you get.
Not worth it

1.00Recently brought our 1 year old daughter to the sea life centre as we have done with out older two children on their first birthday. I can honestly say I would not return after our recent visit. In previous years pushchairs were not allowed to be taken round, we were always told to leave them and collect at the end. This time there were countless pushchairs which aided in the chaos of it being overcrowded, and then its made worse by the multiple school trips with children pushing to get in and this was on a tuesday. For the extortionate price you pay to get in, the experience in my opinion is not worth it! Majority of the staff also act as if they really dont want to be there. Im not one to complain but I am utterly disappointed.
Disappointing

5.00We went as a family of 4 and £80 was a decent price to be honest knowing where it’s going and what it’s helping, the experience was unreal for my boys and me and my wife really enjoyed it too, we stayed and did a few of the talks and the staff were really enthusiastic from the ticket booth to people just walking round, it wasn’t overly busy and could still see everything, so for our experience was really well worth it and a great afternoon.
Use Tesco vouchers

3.00It was lovely to see our baby looking at the fish , but I’m glad we used Tesco points because it would have cost us £56 for something we spent 30 minutes in
Wonderful day out with family

5.00Our children loved it, and so did we! The staff were very friendly, and there were plenty of sea animals to see. The entire experience was amazing for the whole family. Parking was close, and there were many dining options around the Sea Life Aquarium.tions around the Sea Life Aquarium.

5.00Kids loved the fishes and sharks... they really enjoyed it.. The tickets were a bit pricey though It took us at least an hour to get round as it was busy.. But finding the place took us goof half an hour to get there . . We had parking problem paying the ticket for parking walking to the sea life centre..
Too expensive, crowded and not much to see

2.00We’ve enjoyed coming when we the children were babies, but today we brought a 2 year old and 3 year old and the ticket was the same price was as an adult (£28 each). No facilities to stop, buy a drink or feed children, which made for some grumpy toddlers. Spent over £80 on a family ticket and was done in an hour (we travelled over an hour to get there) we even went round twice to make it last longer and get our monies worth but it became very busy very quickly. Very small and not much for young ones to see as they don’t have enough space to get to the glass. Now the children aren’t free we won’t be coming again, too expensive for it to be over and done in an hour.
