National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham

“Yesterday I visited the SEA LIFE centre in Birmingham for the first time and I absolutely LOVED it! There is a wide variety of tropical and cold water sea creatures for you to see, two of my particular favourites were the ray bay and the sea otters. I was lucky enough to see the feeding experience for both these areas, and if you have time they are definitely worth watching. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about the animals and, you can tell how passionate they are about making sure they get the best care which is refreshing to see. As a solo adult visitor who loves sea animals, I decided to add the go below experience to my trip, and it did not disappoint! I would strongly recommend anyone adding this to their visit. It’s a bargain at £3.50 extra considering what you get to see; For example, the preparation of food, some of the animals that are getting special care and also learning more about the animals. Finally, I would like to give a big shout out to Abigail, who was absolutely brilliant. She was my guide, super knowledgeable and tailored my visit to what I wanted to know. She even introduced me to the animals in the 360 tunnel, which was brilliant! Thanks so much! 🙏 It’s also worth noting, it’s best to book online in advance as you save £9 off the entry for an adult in comparison with the on the door price.”

“We went for my boyfriend's birthday day out and it was the best experience any of of had in a long time. There was next to no wait (we arrived on time, but you will have to wait if you show up before the time slot), staff were friendly and welcoming, the tropical area was fantastic, the animals were gorgeous, and the music in the jellyfish room was pleasant and calming. The only downside was the family who let their young children grab, force past and physically climb over our friend whilst she was crouched down looking at one of the tanks, and their parents wouldn't stop them. Other than that, I would definitely recommend.”

“I visited the SEA LIFE centre today for the first time and I enjoyed a lot. There is a wide variety of tropical and cold water sea creatures to see. I was surprised to see loads of penguins . This was the first time in my life to see actual penguins. The staff are very friendly, specially the young lady at the VR section to see underwater journey. Location is ideal, as loads of restaurants and coffee shops are at a walking distance.”
