Lovely for my toddler but glad I didn't bring the older kids, don't think it would be worth it for them.. Its smaller than I thought.. I was going through it pretty fast.. Thinking there's alot of ground to cover but I ended up in the gift shop pretty fast. Wish I could have gone through again.. Or seen a map or something on the walls so I know it was almost ending.. So take your time in the sections. I found the online £15, adult and toddler ticket, a good price. Pictures were around £15 and cute. The play zone inside was fun and had seating for the adults. Gift shop had things from as little as £1.50 so can treat anyone on any budget. Overall had a great time.
It was ok. The kids seem to enjoy it. However what I was confused at is a staff member told everyone at the beginning have a free photo taken…took photo…...here’s your ticket. Got to the desk and chose what I wanted, and the women tried to charge me £13! I challenged this with her and she screwed up my ticket gave me a sarcastic smile and threw it in the bin! Not impressed by this miss-advertisement or the attitude of the staff member. Good selection of animals, great tanks setup, lovely pool to tickle starfishes and have the shrimp groom your hand. Actually high light of the whole experience. Tickets were expensive however even with a discount. Will travel to the blue planet at Cheshire oaks in future.
We visited recently with our young daughter 4m and she loved the different exhibits/colours, whilst watching the fish swim by. It isn't the biggest, but there's plenty on offer. We had a fun day out and it was well worth a visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Great place to go if you have children. Not too bad for adults. An entertaining place to visit. Easy parking and easy access to the venue. Well worth a visit Located within the Trafford Centre location. Go see for yourselves.
Took my 7 month old baby for a day out. It was such a wonderful experience! Unique fish and sealife. We really enjoyed it! Love the jelly fish lights. We will go back soon.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Lovely well maintained aquarium. Lots of things to see and interact with. Can feel a little cramped in some areas when it's busy. All exhibits and animals look well cared for and there are lots of information points where you can learn about what you are seeing. Take your time walking through, it will take about an hour to get through if you don't rush it.
Really good experience, we had no queue as we went early on so it was quite quiet. Parents with Sen children/young people beware that once you've gone through the ticket area you are then seated for photos that you can purchase at the end. My asd daughter didn't like the demand of this and increased her anxiety...I think there should be a fore warning and an option if you want to take part. We felt that we had to take part of this and there was no choice to opt out...it made us feel quite uncomfortable. Staff were absolutely lovely and very accommodating, etc turning the lights on in a dark room to help with my daughters sensory needs. Another heads up for parents with Sen children, my daughter is overly obsessed with soft play and half way through there is a small but quite good soft play area...this is where we spent most of our time it was a big struggle for my daughter to accept the transition from fish to soft play and then back to fish again. We had big meltdowns leaving the soft play so just a heads up to prepare for this. Overall it was a lovely time out for us, and we went in the morning time which was quite quiet and meant that each section we went through nobody else was there which made it easier for my asd daughter to cope with. 5 ***** for this place
Lovely little sealife centre. You can walk round it in an hour or two. Puzzle sheets for the kids. Lots of different zones. Small soft play inside too. Little tanks. Big walk through shark and turtle tank. Seahorses, terrapins. Some snakes. No food inside there though. It's only a small sealife meant for the little ones so bare that in mind.
Great place to visit, wuth or without kids. There are lots of things to see and interesting information to read. The VR was great, I chose the shark one, and you get real close... just remember to breathe; Overall, a great afternoon was had.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYes
Went to Sealife with our 5 year old son and he absolutely loved it, especially the Japanese Spider Crabs and the pufferfish. We paid extra for the VR experience and it was definitely worth it, the whale one was fab. There’s lots to see and even a play area for kids towards the end. He loved being able to touch a starfish too! Definitely worth a visit and it’s much quieter first thing as they open so it’s worth booking in for the earlier sessions if you’re not a fan of crowds and want to see the fish up close!
