Fantastic experience: Very welcoming place, friendly & passionate staff especially the young lad with the red bandanna his name alludes me but he was very understanding of my 9 month old baby & went out of his was to be friendly & explain about what sea life had to offer how they help to local environment & animals was really touching to see someone so passionate about their job a real credit to sea life he absolutely made our day taking the time to really share his knowledge & promote all the positive things sea life do when I attended with my little family if he was my son I’d be very proud.

Positive experience: I’m a huge lover of aquariums and so are the family, however the children are still too young to be entertained for hours by fish in a tank. However sea life can be a great day with the family, and you did used to get in cheap when the tickets was on the back of cereals. Unfortunately we could not find any discount sites except the 20% off they offer you for pre booking. It cost £114 for 6 of us to enter with full price being charged for our 2 year olds…. Which is ridiculous. That was with 20% off. This is obviously done to price gouge the tourists who come down for the week or day, kids want to go in and see some fishes, they get to the till and WHAM your spending £80 for a family of 4 to look at some fishes. I understand they don’t have tourists all year, I understand that this needs to make money in order to facilitate charity work that they do. However charging such an extortionate amount means that you limit accessibility to most family’s. We can afford it, but we don’t want to pay £100+ for 6 of us to get in sea life for a couple hours the place is not the biggest either, it’s not like the deep in hull (which ironically is far cheaper especially if you pre book). I will leave 4 stars however as the staff there was lovely, really put in some effort. All the tanks seemed very clean and fish all looked healthy. The ticket allows you to visit as many times in a day as you like, so we went off for a walk on the beach and returned later to try feel like we got our moneys worth All in all a great little sea life centre but the price is ridiculous, and I’m pretty positive they aren’t paying their workers huge amounts

Fantastic experience: I revisited Sea Life Hunstanton today with my family. The staff were welcoming and friendly. There are a lot of good side fish tanks with a large variety of fish to look at as well as penguins, seals and Asian otters. We saw them feed the otters and the seals. Both were present well with lots of good information on the species and the individual animal. As well as all the exhibits a pirate captain read the book pirates love underpants. He read the whole story in a pirate accent, which was impressive. My daughter enjoyed every minute of our trip and will definitely go again.

Fantastic experience: A lovely atmosphere with very caring, knowledgeable and inviting employees in all areas. I learned a lot from my day here- all of the talks were incredibly informative, it was clear that Matt and Jordana knew each of the animals they were talking about as individuals and it was very cool to get an insight into the lives of all of the animals. Would highly recommend visiting, I will certainly be coming back again!

Karyna Mizyuk 3 months ago

Positive experience: Would highly recommend booking at least a day prior to the visit as the price goes up when buying the tickets during the visit. ️ It's fun 2 ish hours looking around a decent selection of aquatic life. Otters were unfortunately asleep when we visited but there was a lovely overhead tunnel and an outdoor area with penguin enclosure. I really enjoyed the seal feeding which happens twice a day (I might be remembering wrong). The staff were friendly and helpful and there is a starfish area as well. The best bit was the bug room where the ant display was elaborately set up!

Positive experience: Perfect for babies ! Little one loved every moment, not too big for her to get over stimulated and the attached coffee shop is just what you need to sit and feed yourself and your babies. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Only downside would be the prices for the gifts and photos, slightly pricy.

Negative experience: It should say somewhere that last admission is at 4pm as we just got here at 3 minutes past 4 and we were refused entry and the sale of tickets because we were expecting it to be open until 5pm as it says online. Disappointing.

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I visited on Sunday and had an amazing time. We got to hear a penguin talk from Summer who was accompanied by Ethan. She was very informative and charismatic. Summer then stood by the baby penguins after and pointed out which baby was which and was happy to answer any questions. Staff over all were very friendly and created such a nice and educational environment. Centre wasnt too busy which meant we got to take our time at each area before moving on. We spent a good half an hour at the big fish tank at the end just watching them. It was lovely, I can't wait to return in the future

Fantastic experience: We really enjoyed this sea life. It takes about 40-90 minutes to get round depending on how fast you go. We got to stroke some starfish and sea anemone. Plenty of fish, reptiles, jellyfish, otters, seals, ants, penguins etc. some adorable baby penguins too. Didn't try the cafe as we were in a rush. Massive car park on the field over the road, with pay by meter.

Positive experience: We really enjoyed visiting Sea Life Hunstanton. It isn't cheap but we realise that the money is required to look after all the wonderful creatures that are there. These include injured and sick seals , some who need care for a long time which costs money. We were mesmerised by the aquariums and the beautiful fish, seahorses and jellyfish. The rainforest was fun too. Would return.

Fantastic experience: Booked online for 12pm but staff let us enter an early. Wasn't overly busy so was able to get around easy. This centre isn't the biggest, however they have made use of the space they have. Kept very clean and tidy. Staff were informative and notified visitors of any talks or feeding that were about to happen. Great selection of fish, even had seals, penguins and otters! All in all, a great little find and kept us busy for about an hour. Bonus of we could come and go all day of we wanted to.

Fantastic experience: Visited on the 10/03/25, fantastic place for all ages. We booked ahead as its much cheaper than paying on the day. On arrival we were greeted with very friendly staff who explained everything we needed to know. The venue itself isn't huge but they certainly made use of the space. We walked around it for roughly an hour. Great family day out. Bonus points as they have a Costa coffee on site as well.

Fantastic experience: Fun little aquarium right by the sea. Good variety of sealife and more, seals (they rescue and rehabilitate them), otters, lizards, insects, seahorses, jellyfish, caimans, axolotl, a humongous lobster and of course lots of fish. There are lots of little "bubbles" and tunnels so that the children can see the inside view of exhibits. They can touch starfish, dig for treasure and walk through an ocean tunnel. The staff do talks several times a day. Plenty of places to sit. Attached cafe has ice creams, Costa coffee, toasties etc. Cute little shop. Use Tesco clubcard vouchers to help with the cost. Toilets clean. Parking lot is separate, run by council. It isn't particularly cheap, and no discount for blue badge holders. Plenty to do after, fairground rides and the beach!

Fantastic experience: No matter what you personally think of zoos and sealife, this one was well maintained, clean and the staff clearly very much cares for the animals and the sea. Summer was a lovely, upbeat, knowledgeable and very humble :) when she gave us both a penguin- and pacu talk. While the state of the sea generally and the fact that some animals will never be released into the wild again made me sad, that's obviously not their responsibility. I was very excited to learn so much about sea creatures and a lot of new things - and I got to see penguins, which is always a win. It's a relatively small SEA life with a lot of extra things for kids, so more of a family activity I'd say. Buying tickets online is ÂŁ6 cheaper than buying them there, which was a bit of a surprise.

Positive experience: Sea life has come under lots of pressure over the last few years for its small enclosures and although they were on the slightly small size all the animals seemed to be happy enough. This location had a large variety of animals from all over the globe in tanks and enclosures both inside and outside. My family and I had a wonderful time in front of the large tank seeing the large variety of fish, rays and sharks. The staff were very knowledgeable about everything. I would recommend buying tickets as I would with any day out. In Conclusion, A wonderful day out for all the family when the weather doesn’t play ball.

Positive experience: It's a teeny tiny sealife centre. You can go and come back again should you want to check out different talks. I do like that they have a sealion hospital. However, the price for how small it is seems crazy to me. The staff are always lovely, never had a bad interaction with any of them.

Fantastic experience: We visit often and the fish are always looking so happy, clean and healthy. The team are wonderful. They have such passion and love for all the creatures. They have recently acquired a younger otter friend for their resident old male otter to have companionship. They rescue baby seals along the shoreline and rehabilitate them. Every single animal looks well and happy. Many of the fish will play with you, swimming up to look at you and chase you. What a wonderful place ran by dedicated people <3

Danielle Marsh 7 months ago

Negative experience: Apparently cashless now, really disappointed children who'd saved their pocket money, so they spent it at the fair instead.. you need a mortgage for a drink. Dirty disabled/ baby changing station. Cute seals. Cheaper to buy tickets online but then online seems to be what they're promoting.

Negative experience: Some nice things to see, but flabbergasted by the price. Quite run down in some places, giving more of a feel of a free community centre than a place you spend £100 for a trip that takes no more than 1.5 hours. I think 50% of the price would feel fair. Sign of the terrible inflation in the UK i guess …

Ben C 1982 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Visited 1st February, so well out of season and as a result the place wasn't everso busy... but that means more freedom and space to look at the animals. Our 5 year old loved it all. Was in the right place at the right time for the Otter feeding talk, which didn't quite go to plan as the otter was sulking, despite best efforts of the young ladies presenting the talk to coax him out of hiding - thanks to them for trying. Went back outside later on for the Penguin feeding time, they were much more co-operative. The Ocean section was particularly good, the tunnel beneath the tank and the huge glass wall to observe from... the massive turtle was laying against the glass for some time, so was able to have a good look. All staff encountered were friendly and helpful, we booked tickets the day before and saved a few quid, so would recommend doing so.

Fantastic experience: We had the most incredible trip to the sea life centre today. Quick to get in, Pixie, Laura, Katie and Daisy were so attentive and helpful. Especially with my neurodiverse boy who's obsessed with sea life. It was easy to know when the feedings were happening and I couldn't fault a single thing from our trip!

Positive experience: Visited during the week with a service user after 180 mile round trip. Place was lovely but they do need to update their Google badly. Says close at 4pm but actually close at 3pm and take last admissions at 2pm. Had I not got there early this would have been a wasted trip and a disappointment disabled service user with mental health learning disabilities to entertain. The admission prices are wrong too. These aside, aquatic life really well looked after, design of the space is excellent, the addition of leaf cutting ants is awesome and these were fascinating. Parking at car park nearby. Disabled access pretty good, just a little tricky to get the main door open with a wheelchair user. Staff helpful and really enjoyed our 45 minute visit. Loved the seals as well and the fact that whilst they have an empty enclosure they have given them the extra space to use which shows caring and dedicated welfare towards their animals

Fantastic experience: Strange that I couldn't decide what score to give. It's not the best sealife centre you will go to but. Really helpful engaging staff very happy to talk through the exhibits. Two large tanks with big fish and a wonderful green turtle. It has a seal rescue/recovery area, though nobody in it is present. As a family group of adults, we had a fantastic 2.5hrs just watching and learning. Shop has good selection and coffee and cake in cafe afterwards.

Fantastic experience: My scout group had an overnight trip to the Hunstanton sea life centre over the last weekend and it was absolutely delightful. To start, the staff were extremely welcoming and gave every single one of us lot a hot drink upon arrival from their Costa bar area in the entrance. After that, we were taken on an a lovely tour around the aquarium to see all of the creatures which were beautiful, I especially loved the otter named Twix. At the end of the sea creatures there was the Amazon room which contained many insects including some glorious stick bugs which were given the opportunity to hold and it was incredible. Finally, the sleeping area was wonderful as we had the choice of 3 different areas which we bounced around with one having a delightful overhead view of all the aquatic animals (and an absolutely massive turtle), the second having a full glass wall to see into the same tank and a simple are with 4 sofas and a television. All around was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend that you do so aswell!!

Fantastic experience: We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Sea Life in Hunstanton. The highlight of our visit was definitely seeing the resident seals but we also enjoyed seeing all the other marine life they had here. They had a very wide variety of fish and other animals here, including penguins. All of the tanks and exhibits were accompanied by very detailed information screens or boards which provided more information about the animals. There was also an interactive element which I'm sure many of the younger visitors would enjoy. We parked at a nearby car park and had a short (but wet and windy) walk through the funfair and along the promenade. Despite the weather, we had a very warm welcome here and every member of staff we spoke to was very friendly and welcoming. After visiting the aquarium, we enjoyed a hot drink in the Costa located in the main entrance.

Fantastic experience: I went with my partner to see the baby seals mainly. It was lovely to see them out playing together. And there were a good lot of different sea creatures and other animals to see too. The sealife centre does timed talks which you can go to too like penguin feeding time etc. And you can feed the Pacu fish that was really fun! There's a Costa in there too and your ticket allows you reentry as well so if you need to pop out you can. The gift shop was great as always!

Fantastic experience: We went on the last Sunday of simmer holidays, there were no crowds at all. My son is obsessed with sharks and marine life, this being his first time seeing them in real life he was next level excited. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The animals are beautiful and clearly well cared for. We saw 3 little seal pups who had recently been rescued and they were just beautiful. The centre is literally right on the beach front, along the promenade from a fun fair (seasonal) and shops and stalls. Once you get your entry you can come and go from the centre as you please which we found really useful. We came in early, left for a nice fish and chip lunch ok the beach, then came back for another round. The centre isn't huge but it has a big selection of wildlife to see and its absolutely worth the visit. Parking was ample and cheap. Definitely bring cash with you to this area though as its needed for a lot of things other than the centre. We will be back

Positive experience: We decided to take a look around Sealife Hunstanton. As it was a last minute trip to the seaside, it wasn't pre- booked so we paid more on the day. I have to say it's not the largest Sealife Centre that we have visited, but this one does includes a seal sanctuary. The day ticket means you can visit as many times as you want during that day and it was open 10-4pm If you don't rush the visit it can take about and hour or hour & a half. Containing the usual exhibits, walk through tunnel, penguins and seals.

Positive experience: The smallest Sea life centres we've visited. Well maintained and entertained the children for a couple of hours max. Due to its size the talks were very crowded even though it wasn't particularly busy. I wouldn't recommend it for children with Sen who struggle with being close to people as navigation through the site was a bit cramped. I was happy to use the 50% discount and carers discount but we would have been very unimpressed of we'd paid full on the door prices.

Positive experience: Great place, lovely tanks set up with lots of information on the species , the conservation efforts and some back stories, loved the Seals, Crocs, Seahorses and all the different Sharks. Prebooked cost us ÂŁ20 per adult and ÂŁ10 per child on a special offer, probably why it was Very busy inside. A little too busy to get many good photos Only reason I wouldn't give 5* is none of the special offers on line cater for families with more than two children . We have 4 children and had to buy 3 adult tickets

Fantastic experience: Visited with my teenage Niece after not having been for many years. Penguins and rescued seals were lovely. Staff giving talks were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the new rainforest exhibit with Leaf cutter ants. Very cool. You can get really near as they are enclosed in a moat instead of glass. I really liked the funny turtles in with the crocodile, really comical. I really want to go back again and try out the shark feeding activity. Next time! I think the place is really well maintained and they keep the exhibits updated. It’s dear but worth the visit.

Fantastic experience: Hunstanton Sea Life offers a decent marine experience. The variety of sea creatures is respectable, providing visitors with an opportunity to see a range of aquatic life. The educational aspect is informative, making it a suitable destination for families and school outings. However, some exhibits might benefit from enhancement, and the overall experience could be more engaging. In summary, while it may not be exceptional, Hunstanton Sea Life provides an acceptable visit for those interested in marine life.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant fun to see, there's even a touch the starfish experience which we loved... They're surprisingly rough by the way.

Fantastic experience: Nice few hours, wasn't over crowded so plenty of opportunity to stand and look at the animals without feeling the need to move along too quickly.

Positive experience: For the price, I do not think this place was worth a visit. Took my 5 year old, and we were in there for around 25-30 minutes. Would be cheaper off rate times with a discount voucher. But all the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and great with children.

Positive experience: This is a nice sea life centre. Definitely one of the better ones we have been too. Great starting section with tasks and hunts for children. That then opens to the main sections with the seals and otters etc. We got to see feeding of both which was great and then to the large aquarium which has a tunnel section and a large full wall where they fed sharks and turtles etc. Worth a visit and there are usually offers on if you prepare in advance.

Positive experience: Family enjoyed their visit to Sea Life centre. especially walking through the the ocean tunnel and in the ocean viewing gallery... Only one thing which annoyed me was the repetitive loud pirate music while sitting down having some refreshments in Costa coffee..

Fantastic experience: Managed to get a discounted entry with a voucher in a leaflet, purchased tickets in advance and plenty to see for an afternoon. Loved the ants of all things (LOL), it was amazing to be so close to them without any glass barriers etc.
