SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth - Great Yarmouth

Charlotte N.

Walk through tunnel was lovely, good for the kids to see the animals well.
In the room with yellow submarine, you were about to previously purchase food and feed the fish.
There was a crocodile which you don't always see at sealife centres.
Option to touch a starfish too.
Nice as you could pay a little extra and it got you entry to the Giant Wheel too!
Gift shop is very large, took kids a long time to pick something.

Me and my kids liked the sea life experience. Jellyfish, stingrays, penguins, and sharks were their favourites. The restaurant and the gifts shop made a whole good ending for the day.

Lovely time with our family, was probably one of the better maintained and well looked after Sea Life Centres we’ve visited with really friendly and energetic staff that encourage little ones to get involved.

Only downside is parking nearby to the centre can be dear (£14 for 3 hours) but arguably this was directly next to the centre.

From penguins to finding Nemo or even see an Octopus! This centre has something for everyone.

Lovely day out with the family recommend highly.

My grandkids love the sea life centre in Yarmouth, so as a good Grandad I often bring them here. It is a tad expensive especially considering how long it takes to get through, then of course you are herded into the Gift shop at the end which also leads to more pennies being ripped from my pockets. But what there is, is quite nice and interesting and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Recently they have renovated the glass tunnel which goes through the tank so you can observe the sharks etc. My grandkids quite like the touch tank where they can touch Star fish. The last time we went, we really tried to drag it out by talking to the kids about the different animals but still we were finished in about an hour. Parking also has to be paid for on the street which has a minimum of 3 hours which cost us another 5 quid. With 2 adults and 2 small kids we didn't have much change from a 100 quid.

Visited the SeaLife centre with my daughter whilst on holiday at Great Yarmouth. Bought the tickets in advance. I did get my hand stamped as they said I could enter the shop and cafe anytime that day up to 3pm. Soon as we entered there was a member of staff waiting to take photos for us to purchase at the end. It was good, not as big as the one in London tho, we saw the penguins 🐧 the sharks, loads of fishes, sea horses, octopus 🐙 (can’t believe they have 9 brains 🧠 and 3 hearts)once we came to the end we did purchase our photos they did have a deal (we got 2 photos 2 magnets and 2 small keyring sized pics for £20) then we stopped off to have a look in the gift shop. Overall it was a nice experience as this was our first time visiting the Great Yarmouth SeaLife. 👍🏻

Shark Feeding Experience
The team who got us all suited up were fab - both were a wealth of information and told us fun facts about the sharks including knowing each by name based on small markings. Bruiser (or whatever name the nurse shark is now going by after the naming competition!) was wonderful, very hungry which made our experience very exciting! The black fins were entertaining too, just not as hungry. Highly recommend this experience and massive thank you to Julie for selecting us!

We went on a Sunday and booked a 10:15 slot. There was a queue on arrival, which was unexpected when it opened at 10 but moved fairly quickly. Once through reception and past the now obligatory photo op green screen cash cow, the aquariums started. There were lots of tanks and a large variety of sea life to see and watch. The lighting was low, so the tanks were easier to see. The penguin enclosure felt tiny and unappealing for the animals, and I felt sorry for the animals there. Some of the tanks seemed overcrowded, but I'm no expert. Regardless of this, the visit was enjoyable, and it was great that after walking through, there was the option to go round again. Definitely value for money. The venue is located right on the promenade, so there isn't road access for the public or a car park. There is a cafe/restaurant situated inside the building, but this has a separate entrance, so it can be visited with paying for entry. The souvenir shop can also be accessed without paying entry. I would recommend a visit. It took us approx 1 hour to go round.
