Great Day Out - Great experience - we went with friends whilst staying at the Premier Inn and it is literally 1 minute from the hotel. Can easily spend a couple of hours walking around and also has great outdoor area for kids with a pool and a great gift shop - staff were informative and friendly and would recommend.

A lovely half day out. - We had a lovely day at Sea Life, despite the rain. The talks at feeding time were lovely - some of the language could've done with explanation for the younger people - but mostly it was interesting, positive, and clear. We particularly enjoyed the otters and seals, and would recommend the fairy penguin feeding time as we went back to see them afterwards and they'd all hidden for afternoon naps.
We also used the cafe. They had lots of heatable fast food, some sandwiches, and freshly baked pizza. The pizza was adaptable and came with GF options which we used. You can only order the largest pizza size as gluten free, but it was pleasant and could be adapted with toppings removed if needed. Our party also had nuggets, burgers, and normal pizza, all of which was fine. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and it was good to get takeaway hot drinks on a rainy day.
The fish viewing areas were magical, and the seals were so friendly. It was lovely to hear about the rescue stories or breeding programmes of so many of the animals, and the playground and toilets were clean and pleasant.
We didn't realise until we arrived that we could come in and out of the centre during the day, which would have helped us plan food / our day better, but it was still good. There were puzzles around the site for kids to complete to win a sticker. We booked online which was easy. We arrived around 10.30/11am, and were ready to head home about 2.30/3pm.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish - Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Everyone was super friendly. Tip. If you are taking children when it’s warm don’t forget to take their swimsuits they will love the facilities available.

Best Sea Life Centre! - By far the best Sea Life Centre we’ve been to! It’s huge! So much to do, and lovely friendly staff, we’ll definitely be returning!
We spent about 3.5 hours here, would have been longer if it was hotter and we would have played in the splash fountains. Admission was £19 on the day (buy them the day before and they’ll be £14), and my family’s were free as included in our Merlin annual passes! Very quiet crown wise which was nice, assume as it was a weekday. Thanks for having us! X

Engaging passionate staff and lots to see and do - We had a wonderful day at the sea life centre, the kids especially loved the park and the behind the scenes tour we did with Molly.
As a shark fanatic,my son loved discussing facts with her and she was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us. It was really interesting for us adults to learn more about the conservation side of things and to see a baby penguin was a real treat!
I'd recommended taking the kids swimming stuff as the splash area is lots of fun too.
We took a picnic but bought ice cream and coffee (choices were good) and the pizzas are yummy as far as I remember from a previous visit.
I'd thoroughly recommend visiting and we will look forward to going again soon..hoping the otters might come out and play next time!

Wonderful family day out. - We took our children here having never been before for the otter feeding experience and it was fantastic, a core memory maker for sure! The staff are all so helpful and friendly. We were so impressed with the wide array of animals they have and the conditions etc. highly recommend it for a family day out!

Good day out for kids - Good day out with the kids, plenty to do for them and lots of animals to see, was nice it was outside too, best part was the rock pools, turtle sanctuary was disappointing

No awareness of autism. - The venue itself was lovely, and the talks were very informative. However, I have had to give a 2 star rating due to how disappointing our arrival experience was.
When we arrived, we were required to wait in a queue caused by a green screen photo area. I asked a member of staff whether we could go straight through, as we did not want photos taken, but was told this was not possible.
My child is autistic and finds queues particularly difficult. We had already shown our Merlin carer’s pass on entry, and my child was also wearing a sunflower lanyard. I feel your staff would benefit from greater awareness and understanding of invisible disabilities, as this unfortunately had a negative impact on the start of our day.
Thankfully, the customers in front of us shared our frustration and chose to decline the photos, which helped move the queue along.
