Best for families with children who engage with marine life and want feeding talks built into their visit. The sea lion talk and penguin walkthrough are the highlights. Knowledgeable staff make the educational elements work across all ages.

โ€œThe team at Sea Life Scarborough were amazing during our visit! It was a very special occasion for me and my partner as I was planning to propose to her in front of the Penguins. I had been arranging this over the coming months and had been frequently contacting Athena to work out what would be possible. She helped me plan everything for the big day and informed all of the team of the day, we even created a code word which was passed along to the team to know when we would arrive. When we got to Sea Life the team was really helpful in leading us to the right place and when we reached the Penguins, there was staff members there ready to coordinate it discreetly and take photos of the moment. They even prepared a little celebration gift bag for the occasion and we were able to get photo print outs of the moment. Could not have asked for a more well organised and thoughtful proposal! Which is all thanks to the Team at Scarborough Sea Life. They are a wonderful bunch that really go out of their way to make things perfect. All of them are very knowledgeable about the animals and share a deep compassion for their welfare. It is incredible to hear all the different stories about their rescue and the amount of incredible effort that goes into creating such a wonderful home for them. Honestly if you are ever in Scarborough and get chance to check out the Sea Life there, I highly recommend it. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff that will take time out of their day to make your trip truly unique!โ€

โ€œWe went on new years day and honestly had the best time. It was skeleton staff but they all did very well and were knowledgeable. It was a shame that there were a few large families that couldn't put there hand to there mouth while close to my son. It was harder to navigate and so many pushchairs that it was hard to navigate.โ€
