They need to restrict admission numbers. Far too busy. Its a shame as you can't look properly as feel rushed. Most people not even bothered just rushing through with wee ones. No manners either half of them...maybe its just blackpool and others better

My mum and I visit the sea life Centre on 23/10/25. We're enjoy the experience and seeing all the different creatures. However there was no arrows pointing to where we had to go next no one way system we kept ending up back in the same place and getting lost.

Very good place to visit. Staff on hand to answer questions and well informed on fish and sharks in tanks.
Overpriced & average

This was almost £60 for 2 adults and toddler and what a waste of money it was. Nothing that gave the wow factor. Wouldn’t return.

Absolutely amazing time, and the sea animals were also amazing, there was a talk about the black tip sharks, turtle and fish. At the end you have an area where you can do a VR experience and have a bite to eat and the shop is really good as well.

I visited Blackpool Sealife whilst on my holiday as I heard some good things about from other individuals who had visit on previous occasions My first impressions as visitor to this Blackpool attraction is it was very well maintained by the efficient and professional staff who work her on a regular basis I always enjoy visiting these type of attractions as they provided such a wonderful experience for fellow travellers such as myself who are fascinated by sea life I especially enjoyed seeing the sharks as it was my first time I had seen them I would highly recommend this particular tourist attraction to my fellow TripAdvisor travellers as it's well worth a visit in my view
Great venue, not so much for those with accessibility issues!

My family and I are Merlin Pass holders so have visited a lot of the Sea Life venues throughout the country, and Blackpool is definitely up there with the best of them. The variety of tanks, displays and such are great, and the staff are very knowledgable about the animals. My only criticism is the access to the venue - The venue is on the first floor, and there is just one lift to go up or down located near the entrance. This means that once you’ve done the hour or so walk around the venue, you basically have to double back on yourself all the way to where you came in to get back out if you’re in a wheelchair or with a pushchair. There’s no lift access at the end, and only one or two ‘short cuts’ on the way back, so for the most part you find yourselves battling against the people coming in. Not very accessible for people with additional needs at all, especially in this day and age.
