SEA LIFE centres & Sanctuaries

SEA LIFE centres & Sanctuaries are Britain's best known marine wildlife attractions.

Every SEA LIFE centre features more than 30 spectacular displays housing an amazing array of both freshwater and sea creatures.

 

Regular talks and feeding demonstrations help provide an even deeper insight into the marvels of the marine world, and visitors also learn about SEA LIFE’s active conservation and environmental campaigning.

Great new features are unveiled at every SEA LIFE... every year. This year sees crocodiles arriving in Great Yarmouth, a nerve-shredding shark walk unveiled in Blackpool and a glass-bottomed boat launched in Brighton... to name just a few.

SEA LIFE centres are located in Loch Lomond, Blackpool, Great Yarmouth, Hunstanton, Birmingham, Brighton and Weymouth.

Stunning aquarium displays are also a feature of the SEA LIFE Sanctuaries at Hunstanton and Oban, Scotland... but these also run busy rescue, rear and release programmes for stray, sickly and abandoned seal pups.

The National Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, Cornwall, runs the busiest rescue programme, however, caring for as many as 50 grey seal pups every winter. It also has resident adult grey seals, common and hooded seals, retired sea lions, otters and much more. A colony of Humboldt penguins takes up residence this year.

Situated in the heart of London, the aquarium offers a sanctuary for all. Located on the ground floor of County Hall, next to the London Eye, the London Aquarium is just over Westminster Bridge from Big Ben and a short walk from Waterloo Station. 

Open daily (except Christmas day) from 10-18.00, last admission 17.00 (check website for late openings).
