  • "Wonderful aquarium it's small but very well done"

    "A £5 entry fee won't get you a Sealife Aquarium experience and though the experience itself may be brief, it is a well thought out and highly educational one - especially for the little ones"

    "Not particularly large, but the tanks and displays are clean well maintained and full of healthy happy looking fish"

    "So good for babies as well as older kids! The tanks are low enough to properly look into, it’s really well priced - and the added bonus of course of the rest of the fascinating museum and grounds"

Wonderful aquarium it's small but very well done. Worth the money as I got some great photos of the fish, jellyfish and frogs. They look wonderfully looked after and the colours are glorious in my photos. Worth going to here as it's near where I live and it was busy but not so packed one couldn't enjoy my visit. Also they have a good lighting for photos and videos. Good for people of all ages. I highly recommend here.

A £5 entry fee won't get you a Sealife Aquarium experience and though the experience itself may be brief, it is a well thought out and highly educational one - especially for the little ones. There are a fascinating range of oceanic and river-centric wildlife to see, with the Amazon Rainforest section being a particularly well thought out highlight. Don't expect a myriad of wildlife here and you won't be disappointed.

Not particularly large, but the tanks and displays are clean well maintained and full of healthy happy looking fish. My sons enjoyed the array of fish. I also found the staff and guides helpful and happy to answer questions. For the cost I really couldn't complain.

Took my grandchildren. Prices for everything way overpriced. The aquarium is a massive con and needs expanding. Although not expensive, it's just too small and not enough aquatic life to look at.

Had lots of fun. Definitely kids friendly considering free access and you pay for only select activities.

Reasonable price for what it is, we managed to see some interesting frogs and other fish. It would be great to have more space or make more out of the one you guys already have.

  • Crystal Lewis

It's ok but it's so small I think it's too expensive for what it is esp having to pay for an uninterested 4yr old. We spent 5mins and it was over. We could've done it in 3 tbh.

  • Bex Foreman

Well worth the ticket price. Takes about 40 minutes to go round.

Haven't been for ages! The aquarium itself was lovely. We were a bit taken aback by having to book a slot so do check and book ahead!

This is a small aquarium, but has a good diverse collection of fish and coral. Very reasonably priced and well worth a visit.
