Very good experience

The experience at Sea Life was fantastic. It was visited by my two teenagers, and they were very impressed. They saw many sea creatures that they had never seen before. It was a wonderful experience for them.

Shame no cafe

The aquarium is over two floors so don't think the bottom level is everything! We didn't realise this and had to rush through the next level because of time. The exhibits are set out very well with information panels and all the fish can be seen clearly because the tanks are so big. Unfortunately there is no café inside only vending machines with nowhere properly to sit - that's why I gave a 4 star rating. After standing and walking for a couple of hours you need a rest and a welcome coffee, but that's not possible and did spoilt it a bit for us as we got tired towards the end. The aquarium could make more money by providing a café and making the visit more comfortable for visitors. Having said that, we did find a quiet spot to sit and eat/drink something but families would find it difficult. For the price we paid for 2 people (£64) it was an expensive visit and especially as there isn't a café. We have visited lots of Sealife Aquariums around the country and this one was very big. Bear in mind that you go down to -2 to start your visit so its all underground and can be dark at times, but this doesn't affect seeing all the exhibits.

Great value!

We loved the see through floors and tunnels; these created a thrill of being in the water with the sea life. For a smaller sized aquarium, as compared to Boston or Baltimore, USA, one encountered a wide variety of sea life! The exhibts were expertly created with educating children at the forefront! We loved the fact that there was a child 'touch' area as well as an interactive booklet for kids. For the price, we would highly recommend this aquarium for folks with kids or even aquarium-loving adults. It did not disappoint.
