What visitors say
Really lovely well maintained sea life centre and there is a costa attached to the gift shop. The people who work there are really nice too. Sarah gave two entertaining and interesting talks (large tank and penguins). Lots of the animals have names and back stories. Eg naughty Noah and Lana Del Ray the large sting ray! Especially the penguins who Sarah addressed by name and are bred in the UK. They are super cute!

Visited while on holiday. The best sealife I have visited. The penguins were nice, something most sealife's don't have. There were so many different types of tanks, you had plenty to look at and all tanks looked well done. You could buy food to feed fish. There were regular talks, which were interesting and clear. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Sarah was great. Spent 3 hrs there.

We visited on a weekday in term time so it was fairly quiet. All the staff we had interactions with were really helpful and friendly. The tanks were all clean and they all had lots of information around them. The venue had a gift shop, cafe, toilets and baby change facilities.

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.
