Good but not a great aquarium experience. VERY very much geared for children/families and more so than other aquariums
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.
A fun experience. This was my sec9nd time. Weekends gets really busy so if you are flexible with a day, try it out on a weekday.
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.
I used Viator for ticket very nice and very easy to booking. I liked and kept it for future.
I enjoyed with my family in side London see life
It is really worth and go with your kids, it will be lots of fun and can see many creatures and gets good learning opportunities as well
It's dark, crowded and mostly for kids. There was very little educational information about the fish.
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.
Recheck opening time hours. We booked tickets for 10a but they didn't open until 11a. Hope you enjoy it
My little one enjoys it and I would go again went with family i would recommend it to friends and and families to go and visit
Meh. Looking tired and old. Due a revamp. Better suited to younger children. The penguins were good though
We both thought the place was awesome.
Will definitely recommend it to others ☺️
Enjoyed it more than London zoo
So well done
I recommend this event for anyone traveling to London. The aquarium is located next to the London Eye.
This started interesting enough. It was extremely hot day and even though this was underground, it was very hot. Then there was school kids who came after us making the viewing areas crowded. There was not enough signage. We needed bathroom facilities and there was no signage let alone anyone to help where to go. We ended up backtracking and leaving early. We would have continued but again the kids blocked some area's. Disappointing.
Far too expensive, severely overcrowded and the whole thing is only 30 minutes.
Very cruel and unethical with very small aquariums housing sharks and penguins which is nothing like their natural habitat. They don’t care about animal welfare. It’s sad to see sharks swimming in a tiny tank.
All the aquariums are clean and the fish look well looked after. There were a good selection of aquatic life.
We always visit sea life and have the best time , we love the shark tank and the shark virtual experience.
Great time with family enjoyed the experience would go again loved the huge tanks with great selection of sea life
Not a lot to see though is better not worth the money is just a place that you go oround see in one direction all
There is nowhere to leave your coat or any bags, so exhausting to go round the place as it is very warm. Also very slow in school holidays, as there were a lot of people. But the kids loved it!
This time when we visited all the larger sharks where not there which my grandson was a little disappointed about.
Had a good layout with some fantastic displays especially the jellyfish and sea horses. Loved the friendly stingrays at the entrance and the sea turtles were magical.
The tour is mentioned to last around 2 hours long, and we booked 3:45 time slot tickets, but during whole tour we were continuously asked to rush ahead. By the time we reached penguins section, they turned off the lights. They closed the aquarium in 1 hour 15 minutes at 5 pm. If they want to close sharp at 5 pm, then they should not be selling tickets after 3 pm entrance time.
Really lovely to see everything, quite busy but to be expected when you accidentally book ‘super peak’ instead of ‘super off-peak’ tickets pah. Overall nice staff too and good experience for everyone.
It was very fun and enjoyable with my family. The animals were wonderful, the staff giving information were friendly and great and it was just a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this aquarium to a friend. The virtual reality experience was fun and the souvenir shop is one to like. You also get souvenir photos !
My time at the London Sealife was well worth it. The experience was breathtaking seeing all those sea animals makes me think about my homeland, a Riverside girl.
The most spectacular and memorable display was the large tank with significant sea life circulating slowly round the central structure. It is a rare opportunity to see fish close up in their natural environment. Many of us watch David Attenborough programmes, but it is unique to see some of these fishes at such close proximity. Although there were no significant sharks, the aquarium enables you to appreciate even more how striking and beautiful these creatures are.
Went with my daughter and had so much fun. Seeing the penguins was the best part. Will definitely go back when I visit London again.
I absolutely love Aquariums..and Sea Life Aquarium did not disappoint..it was amazing to see so many different types of fishes and sea life..I took my wife as we were celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary..Wonderful time and experience 😀
The shark tank and the VR where very memorable experience, various types of aquatic SEA creatures seen there.
