SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth

“We had a lovely afternoon at Sea Life Great Yarmouth during half term. We prebooked our tickets online the day before, and after having our tickets scanned and hands stamped, we were able to explore the aquarium. We picked up an activity booklet called 'Experience the Great Turtle Odyssey' from the front desk and my daughter was keen to find the turtle challenges and fill in her answers as we wandered around. We loved the different areas and how they were set up and displayed. It only enhanced our experience when we were there! We loved seeing all the fishes and sea animals. We were even happier to see that the penguins had an outdoor space as well as an indoor one unlike Sea Life London. We always feel sorry for the penguins there as when we last visited, they did not have an outdoor area. Although it was half-term, the aquarium was not that busy and we enjoyed walking leisurely through each area and did not feel rushed. When we finally got to the gift shop about an hour and a half later, the lady who served us was very friendly and happy. All in all, it was a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon.”

“Have been a few time over the years, and it seams to be different everytime I go in as they have relocated an enclosure or changed theme. staff always welcoming and friendly, freat location and easy to find. species are well listed. I know they used to offer sleeping exeriences but not sure if they still do? I've always bought my tickets on entry with no queing time.”

“Visited on a rainy Sunday afternoon. We live locally in Norfolk (NR postcode) and did not know about the local residents discount having purchased tickets in advance online. In my personal view, with how small it is, I think the price point is a little high. Our baby enjoyed the lighting and watching the fish but it was a bit crowded and there wasn’t much to see compared to other SEA LIFE venues. The main tank area, where most visitors were drawn to was rather small and it took the sharks, rays and large turtle they have only seconds to swim around before having to loop back on themselves. The penguin enclosure was very small too and the viewing glass in poor condition. Staff were very friendly and the baby change facilities were very clean. Parking nearby at Jetty South cost an extra £5 for 3 hours. SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth ⭐ ⭐ ⭐”
