A glorious 2 hours to myself - I went on a whim. I live an hour away from Brighton so went down for a day with my iPad to study as I am a student. I've been stuck in my flat for a week and wanted to get out somewhere, so if you're ever feeling down and want to get away somewhere with friends or by yourself like I did, go here. I am a Merlin Annual Pass holder so I booked the day before and went along. It was 11am on a friday when the schools have restarted, so it was pretty quiet aside from much younger families for a day out. Its just such a wonderful, peaceful place when its that time of day. The standout attraction is the Day and Night tank/exhibit, with Black Tipped Reef Sharks, Rays and Sea Turtles drifting by. I could not thank Olly (a member of the team and the operator of the Glass Bottom Boat while I was in that section of the aquarium) enough. They were such a delight to be around and was brilliantly enthusiastic and knowledgable with all the different creatures in that tank, made even more special when one of the turtles came up to the two of us and said hello with a big splash of a flipper. A wonderful 2 hours alone, with impecable staff, amazing animals and calm aura around the place. Couldnt reccomend it enough. 5 stars

Octopus fan forever - Amazing visit. Loved Udon the octopus. She came over and mirrored my hand on the glass and tried to bring me her Lego. It was a magical moment.

Amazing birthday vist - Spent a lovely birthday with my son and hubby today at the Sealife Centre Brighton. I had a discount for tickets but even without that, I think the price is good compared to other attraction admission prices. They have a great collection of sealife and a few land animals too. We managed to catch the shark and turtle feeding time which was great to watch and the commentary was brilliant. My 6 yr old loves the see though tunnel walk. We were in there for about 2hrs but we did grab a quick lunch at the Costa they have there. It wasn't too busy and there were staff around to ask any questions to. Definitely a 5 star visit. Thanks for a great birthday.

Not worth the price - Very small, not worth the price. We came across rude start and the photo printing tills. 1 photo is £15! The same price as the tickets.
