SEA LIFE Scarborough

Great compact little rabbit Warren of a place. Has a colony of penguins, some wonderful seals that seem to love the attention and showing off a little. Didn't see the otters sadly. Among the fish, jellyfish and coral on display there's a few species of small shark you might see through the underwater tunnel. There's also a small exotic section with some reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Usual hotdogs and burger snacks available both indoors and outside, kids play area and the obligatory gift shop which isnt awfully expensive. Wheelchair friendly. Pleasant and helpful staff. Themed photos are available to buy on exit if you have your pictures taken on entry and are also not hideously expensive if you speak to staff about the options for prints, magnet, keyring etc. Was only £14.50 entry per adult. Parking outside is local authority and is pay and display.. I would advide to do so as the van next to me had 1 yellow ticket when I went in and 2 by the time I had come out. Ringo/parking cost £3.20 for an hour and we manged to make it round the seaside centre in about an hour although we didn't stop for food. There is a Pub less than 5 minutes walk from the SLC which we didn't go in but looked welcoming and like it did food and is right in the beach so plenty of options to spend more than an hour there.

Visited whilst on holiday in Scarborough chose a day when the weather wasn't great so was hoping to be there a couple of hours with the twins. It wasn't overly busy but due to the size it felt packed. We were in and out within 40 minutes and to be honest considering it's situated near the coast I was expecting more. Nice addition with the outside areas for the seals and penguins but the indoor shark tank I've seen more sharks in the tank closer to home Sea Life centers. The staff were very welcoming and friendly but I'm glad I used my club card point to pay for the visit as I wouldn't pay full price at any Sea Life centers again.

A great place to visit, visited during a teacher training day (Monday) and we really enjoyed our visit. All the staff were friendly. A well looked after and clean place to visit. Check out the times at the front desk for the talks on different animals at different locations on site, we especially loved hearing about the seals and the cheeky Steven SeaGull that stole there fish dinners! Will visit again! Right on the sea front too

One of the best aquariums I've been to. So many interesting animals to see and the staff are happy to chat on your way around. We were lucky enough to see an octopus called Octavia who was absolutely stunning🐙. Would highly recommend!
