Experiencia fantástica: Great tip and worth a visit, lots to see and do here staff are all super friendly and very helpful, You do need to book online but when you do check the times you want to check in as some times booking for 10 minutes later can save you a couple of quid a ticket. Its also card only when your inside the location.

Experiencia positiva: Staying in a chalet in Hemsby , wanting to take Wife & her sister to view " Great Yarmouth " sadly most of the venues are now closed , but also three of us are on a Pension ,& we didn't pay " On-line" we had to pay £ 22.00 each - not all pensioners are computer minded , and a week day visit !; Whilst the Fish looked healthy , Not visitor friendly

Experiencia negativa: Extortionate price tag just to walk around and don’t get me started on the gift shop it was a disgrace I’ll never be going again this sea life centre has to be the worst if you want a good experience for this extreme price the one in Birmingham is much lovelier and they have a lot more to see

Experiencia positiva: I remember it having more there the last I went (a year ago) Went to the gift shop. Bought a turtle, around palm sized, for my child. £11.99 It isn’t a bad time. Entertaining and educational. And kids enjoy it. The sea life centre is a staple for our summer holidays. But…The tickets, parking and one toy, two adults and a baby. Was around £60. Which is a lot for a half an hour walk around.
Experiencia positiva: Very good but a bit shorter than expected. We went to the shark feeding and talk, but it lacked anyone talking, which was a bit frustrating. Other than that the forest ranger was very knowledgeable and chatty and the kids enjoyed it a lot
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience for all the family.
Experiencia positiva: Always a lovely excursion. Lots to learn about different types of sealife. My so loved the clownfish best and we enjoy seeing the antics of the penguins. The VR experience at the end always provides a fascinating new adventure and is worth the price. Only 4 stars because the cafe is quite expensive.
Hi Kat,
Thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your son had a fantastic time exploring the wonders of the sea, especially with those playful penguins and the charming clownfish. It's awesome to know that the VR experience added an extra splash of adventure to your visit!
We totally get your point about the café prices and appreciate your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve and make your experience even better.
Hope to see you and your little explorer back for more sea adventures soon!

Experiencia positiva: 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.
Hi Charlotte,
Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and the kids enjoyed the walk through the tunnel and got to see the animals up close. It's always a treat to spot a crocodile, isn't it? And how cool is it to touch a starfish!
We're glad you took advantage of the combo ticket for the Giant Wheel—it's such a fun way to add a little extra adventure to your visit. Our gift shop can indeed be quite the treasure trove, and we hope the kids found something special to take home.
We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you and your family back for more underwater fun soon!

Ahoy, Juan!

Experiencia negativa: It was a nice place with some great things to see but a disappointing offer for the money. We’re a family of 5 and we paid over £60 to be in somewhere for less than an hour. It is so quick to get round, and it’s hard to be leisurely looking due to the herds of people filtering in too ushering you along. The kids enjoyed it but they were also disappointed that we were done in 40 minutes. It’s not something you can make a day of, where as other sea life centres have shows and talks etc. This doesn’t have any of that- it’s a smaller centre. It’s more of a whistle stop tour than a day out. When we were at the end, my hubby and I looked at each other in disbelief that we were already at the end! We’re probably comparing it to others we’ve been to where we’ve watched seal shows, penguin shows, and had led talks by knowledgeable staff- so this is probably why this one is just mediocre. Well, for what was there, the kids enjoyed it, but as I say, it’s a very short whistle stop for the amount of money. The cafe was nice at the end and that was reasonable. The gift shop is extortionately priced. £12.99 for the smallest sea creature teddy. With 3 children, that soon adds up and they’re not worth the money. The staff were friendly on the whole and seemed to enjoy the work they do which is a positive.
Hi B Walker-Gordon,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet your expectations. We strive to offer a memorable experience for all our visitors. Your comments about the duration of the visit and the lack of shows and talks are invaluable, however we do offer creature talks and creature feeding experiences which are available throughout the day, were you aware that your ticket was an all-day ticket which means you were able to go in and out of the attraction as many times as you like, all day.
It's great to hear that your kids enjoyed the exhibits they saw, and we're glad you found our team to be friendly and passionate. We also appreciate your feedback on the pricing in the gift shop and there are gifts starting from £3 and small creature plush starting from £5.50.
Thank you again for your honest review. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a more fulfilling experience for your family.
Warm regards,
The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: We went as a family of four. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but we really enjoyed it. Whoever was in the front of the desk was very helpful and happy. We had a great time the only thing I would say is that there probably could be abit more interactive things for kids but they enjoyed it all the same . I would definitely recommend going if your in the area .

Experiencia positiva: Not a bad place, quite expensive for a family trip but I understand looking after the animals is expensive. Could have used more interactive attractions for the kids as they got bored quite quickly.
Hi Marcus, Thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts with us!

Experiencia fantástica: A fantastic experience! The aquarium itself was themed beautifully with a lot of interactive features suitable for all ages. The tanks were clean and seemingly well cared-for, with a great variety of species on show - the sharks were the highlight for my son, but we loved the jellyfish and the seahorses. A green screen photo opportunity is a great addition to the trip, but the highlight was truly the staff! Every single staff member we encountered, from reception to photographers, to animal specialists, to cafe staff were warm and friendly, very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. The shop was fantastic with a great variety of stock - truly something for everyone and decent prices. The toilets were very suitable for little ones, with child toilet seats, lower sinks and lower hand driers. The cafe was also very inclusive for dietary requirements. We very much enjoyed our visit and would certainly recommend and return!
Hi Lottie, Wow, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful time at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth.

Experiencia fantástica: Me and my family always visit sealife in Great Yarmouth at least once a year our most recent visit was last week . It’s a lovely place my two daughters love it. Our favourite animals to see are the penguins. Good vaule for the parent and toddler tickets. The gift shop is lovely the only downside is it’s card only which is abit annoying I would like to see it become cash and card so people have that choice other than that it’s a great place to visit.
Hi Abbie, Wow, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth is a yearly tradition for your family and that your daughters love visiting us.

Experiencia positiva: 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.
Hi Lorraine, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had a lovely time exploring SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth.

Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Hi Hazel, Wow, what a fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable visit to SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth and found it to be great value for money. It's awesome that you appreciated the variety of sea life and the option to take another round through the exhibits. We totally understand your concerns about the penguin enclosure and the tank space. Please know that the well-being of our animals is our top priority, and we continuously work to ensure their environments are as comfortable as possible. It's great to hear that the queue moved quickly and that you enjoyed the location right on the promenade. We're glad you found the café and souvenir shop convenient too! Thank you so much for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back for another underwater adventure soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team ✨

Experiencia negativa: Staff were brilliant and friendly but a lot of money for being there 30 minutes and we didn't rush around. Know you can come and go all day but seen everything the first time round. That's more down to the size and the cost but like I said for staff I would give 5/5.
Hi Kirsty, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We're thrilled to hear that our staff made a positive impression on you with their friendliness and brilliance.

Experiencia fantástica: Great attraction, small but plenty to see, doesn't take long to walk around, but you can go around as many times as you like. Gift shop a bit expensive.
Hey Gazza384! Thanks a ton for your awesome review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the variety of exhibits, and we're glad you took advantage of being able to wander around as much as you liked. We totally get your point about the gift shop, and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another underwater adventure soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Lovely sealife centre, it's not huge but there is a nice variety of fish to see and the kids all loved it. Great location on the beach front. Every kid loves walking through the tunnel with the fish swimming above.
Hi Ryan, Thanks a ton for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and the kids had a blast at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. It sounds like you all made some fintastic memories, especially walking through the tunnel with the fish swimming above—it's like being in a real-life aquarium adventure, right? We're so lucky to have such a great location on the beach front, and we're glad you enjoyed the variety of fish we have. Hope to sea you and your family again soon for more underwater fun! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit kids loved it. Entry price is quite expensive we used Tesco vouchers for our visit Which made it more affordable. Recommended
Hey Daz Story! Thanks a ton for swimming by and leaving us such a fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and the kids had a splash-tacular time at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. It's awesome that you could dive into the fun with those Tesco vouchers—great way to make the adventure even more affordable! We hope to sea you all again soon for another underwater adventure. Until then, keep making waves! Cheers!
Experiencia fantástica: Lovely aquarium. Plenty to see and the tunnel is very impressive, nice close up of the sharks
Hey Mark! Thanks a million for swimming by with such a fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had a splash-tacular time exploring our aquarium and that the tunnel made a big impression. Those sharks sure know how to steal the show, don't they? We hope to sea you again soon for more underwater adventures! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: 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.
Hi Scott "Warner" Graham, Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us. It's wonderful to hear that your grandkids enjoy visiting SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth and that you appreciate the friendly and helpful nature of our staff. We’re thrilled that the renovated glass tunnel and the touch tank have been a hit with your family! We understand that the cost can add up, especially with parking and the gift shop. We strive to offer a memorable experience and are always looking for ways to enhance the value of your visit. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we'll definitely take it into consideration as we continue to improve. We hope to welcome you and your grandkids back soon for more underwater adventures. If you have any more suggestions or thoughts, feel free to share them with us. Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Humboldt Penguins and fascination at every turn. A great place to visit and break up the day trip to the beach. You can re-enter after visiting also. The staff are incredibly nice and can't wait to go back .

Experiencia positiva: Just need a full refit , wouldn’t bother in wheelchair as glass/ Perspex so badly scratched low down. Staff enthusiastic yet annoying. Not worth the money.
Hi Alex, Thank you for sharing your opinion — we really appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet expectations. Your comments about accessibility and the condition of the displays are noted and will be passed on. Just to mention, tickets are valid for all-day entry, so guests are welcome to come and go throughout the day. Best wishes, [Your Name] from SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth
Experiencia fantástica: Somehow I thought the penguin enclosure would be bigger. But it was lovely to see them and all creatures being well cared for.
Hi Patricia, Thank you so much for your delightful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit and found our penguins and other creatures to be well cared for. Our team is dedicated to providing the best environment for our animals and a memorable experience for our visitors. We hope to welcome you back soon for more fun and exploration!

It's always a joy to know our visitors are happy with their time at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. We hope to see you swimming by again soon for more underwater adventures! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team ✨
Experiencia fantástica: 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!
Experiencia negativa: Here at Sea Life Great Yarmouth I saw that they were feeding dead baby chickens to the crocodile and they tried to cover up where the dead baby chickens were with a big grass sticker on the crocodile tank. Instead they should have just fed the crocodile raw chicken meat. And they were saying ''save the sharks'' but they don't care about the chicks that are born and then just killed right after they are born!

Experiencia fantástica: What a lovely way to spend a few hours, being greeted with a smile and loads of useful info from Jackie on the front desk. Really useful notice boards throughout with information about the fish and creatures there, even got to stroke s Starfish amazing it was soft and not prickly as I thought. Perfect coffee in cafe round off a lovely experience. Defo visit again.
Hi Jo, We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. Jackie and the team will be delighted to know they made your visit special with their warm welcome and helpful info. It's always a treat to surprise our visitors with the wonders of the ocean, like the soft touch of a starfish! And we're glad the coffee hit the spot too. We can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team ✨
Experiencia positiva: I have to admit they have a very nice setting for the fishes and good variety. However the place is small so going around will take no more than 30mins and spaces are tight so it's difficult to move around at peak times. It's a must see but just once.
Hi Andrea, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the setting and variety of our aquatic friends. Our team is always looking for ways to improve the experience for our visitors. We hope you had a memorable visit and that you'll consider stopping by again in the future. Your insights are invaluable to us, and we're grateful for your visit. Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: We had a lovely time at sea life with our four month old. We spent about an hour and a half here including watching the shark feed talk which was great to see on a Wednesday at 2pm! Jamie did the talk and he was great fun and a lovely guy. All the staff were really friendly and informative. Thanks for a great afternoon!
Hi Emma, Wow, it sounds like you had a fantastic time at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth! We're thrilled to hear that you and your little one enjoyed your visit, especially the shark feed talk.

Our team always aims to create memorable experiences, and it's wonderful to know we hit the mark with you. Thanks a million for sharing your lovely feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for more underwater adventures soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team ✨
Experiencia fantástica: Been coming here since I was a kid, I've always loved it. The guy in charge of the bug area is an absolute gem! Super friendly and really kind
Hey Ellie! Wow, your review just made our day! It's awesome to hear that SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth has been a part of your life since you were a kid. We're thrilled that you still love visiting us!

Thanks for being such a fantastic part of our SEA LIFE family! See you soon for more underwater wonders! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team ✨
Experiencia positiva: went for the first time in a while the other week, generally speaking it was pretty good and well maintained (big fan of the new decor etc) but i worry about the penguins in that small enclosure along with some other fish in Really crowded tanks
Hi Emerson, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the new decor and found the place well-maintained. Your feedback about the penguins and the fish is really important to us. We care deeply about the well-being of all our animals and are constantly reviewing their habitats to ensure they are comfortable and healthy, we have recently just passed our latest vet visit so i hope this goes some way to reassure you. If you would like to discuss anything further please get in touch. Best wishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team

Experiencia fantástica: A really nice visit.
Hi there, We are thrilled to hear you had a really nice visit to SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth! It's always a splash-tastic time when our visitors enjoy their experience. We can't wait to welcome you back for another underwater adventure! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: Great family experience but take your time as will be over in 30 mins if you rush through They have lots of games that encourage kids to look through the exhibits and posters to read. Recommend getting the fish food as its fun and pretty cheap. Book in advance to save a bit of money too.
Hi AverageGearHead, Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a great time exploring SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. It's awesome that you enjoyed the interactive games and found the fish food to be a fun addition to your visit. We totally agree that taking your time can really enhance the experience, and booking in advance is a smart tip for saving a bit of cash. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another adventure soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia negativa: Horrible place. I don't know how they are allowed to keep animals! Looking at the condition of the penguins and the small aquarium for the octopus made me feel like we were witnessing animal abuse. I cried seeing the penguins in the state they were in. Dirty and EXTREMELY overcrowded tanks, completely depressing. Genuinely cannot fathom how they are allowed to be open, surely there's laws against THIS? Also they sold too many tickets, we were shoulder to shoulder with other people. Even as a grown woman I got trampled on. Despite having to wait to see the next bit it still only took us 30 minutes to finish seeing the whole place. I understand that Great Yarmouth is 'cheap' , but animals shouldn't be affected just because the standard is low!! Heartbreaking. Do not go!
Hi Rose, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your visit. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling upset—it’s never what we want for our guests, and we genuinely regret that your visit did not meet expectations. Please allow us to reassure you that the welfare of our animals is our highest priority. We have regular visits from independent veterinary professionals and are closely monitored by the local authority under the Zoo Licensing Act. Additionally, we are proud to be accredited members of BIAZA (the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums), which means we must meet high standards in animal care, conservation, and education. We understand that aquariums are not for everyone, and we respect your views. That said, the animals in our care are housed according to strict welfare guidelines, with environments designed by specialists to support their health and natural behaviours. Our team works incredibly hard every day to provide the best possible care. In regard to the number of guests on the day you visited, we’re sorry to hear you found it overcrowded. We do monitor capacity, during holidays we are a popular attraction. We truly appreciate you bringing your concerns to us, and we’re always open to how we can do better. If you would like to discuss your visit further or speak with a member of our animal care team, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: It was lovely, loads of different species. We saw the penguins during feeding time. We will definitely visit again. The only downside is that it is smaller than the one we visited last year. We did the tour in 20 mins.
Hi Daneesha, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed seeing the variety of species and caught the penguins during feeding time—it's always a delightful experience! We understand that the size of our attraction might not have met your expectations, especially compared to your previous visit elsewhere. We truly appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to enhance the experience for our visitors. We're glad to hear you'll be visiting us again, and we hope to make your next visit even more enjoyable. If there's anything specific you'd like to see or experience, feel free to let us know! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: 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.
Hi Jason, Wow, your review made us smile from fin to fin! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. Our team loves making visits special, especially for the little ones, so it's wonderful to know their energy and friendliness shone through. From penguins to octopuses, we're glad you found something for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for recommending us so highly! We can't wait to welcome you and your family back for another underwater adventure. Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: We took our grandson as we had visited when the new tunnel they built was not open . We had 50% discount as returning customers . Our grandson likes the sea life , especially the penguins . The new tunnel is colourful and provides a new look much needed for the venue. The only issue I have is the high price of the tickets , especially if a family with two children between 4-15 years old . Adults pat £22 each and the children tickets are £20 each . Really exorbitant prices and there is no way family of .4 can afford to bring their children .
Hi Chandra Shekar, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're thrilled to hear that your grandson enjoyed his visit, especially the penguins and the new tunnel! It's always wonderful to know when our guests appreciate the updates we've made. We understand your concerns about the ticket prices, especially for families. We strive to provide an engaging and educational experience for all our visitors, and feedback like yours is invaluable as we consider how to make SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth accessible to everyone. We truly appreciate your input and will take it into account as we continue to improve our offerings. If you visit us often maybe a SEA LIFE pass would work better for you and your family, you could then visit us as often as you like. Thank you again for your visit and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We hope to welcome you and your family back in the future. Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia negativa: Spent £30 of tesco vouchers and still cost £41 to get in. We were in and out in an hour, and that was walking slowly. Nice for the kids to see the animals and get to touch a cockroach and a starfish. But awful value for your money. Definitely wouldn't come back again
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really sorry to hear that you felt your visit didn’t offer good value for money. Our admission price does cover an all-day entry, and we offer a range of talks, feeds, and hands-on animal encounters throughout the day—so it’s a shame to hear your visit was so short. It sounds like your little ones enjoyed meeting the animals, which we're glad to hear, but we’d have loved for you to experience more of what we have on offer. We do appreciate your honest feedback—it’s so important to us as we work to improve the experience for all our guests. If you have any further comments or would be open to sharing more about your visit, feel free to get in touch directly. Best regards, SEA LIFE
Experiencia fantástica: Place has had a much needed decor upgrade. Noah the Turtle not there, he's apparently in Blackpool Sealife. Shark tank looks good but medusa statue taken down and replaced by treasure chests and cannons. It's a lovely place bit small, in and out in 40 mins. Food good quality and fair price. Gift shop pricey.
Hi Julie! Thanks a bunch for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the new decor upgrade—it's always exciting to freshen things up a bit! Noah the Turtle is indeed on a little adventure in Blackpool, but we're glad you got to enjoy the shark tank and the new treasure-themed setup. It's great to know you found the food to be both tasty and reasonably priced. We always aim to offer a delightful experience from start to finish. We understand the gift shop can be a bit on the pricey side, and we appreciate your feedback on that. We hope to see you again soon for another fun visit! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team ✨
Experiencia positiva: Having visited the London sea life this was a major disappointment. Much smaller and a lot less interactive than imagined. Stunk of fish throughout as they’d just fed the fish but some kids felt a bit sick as did I. Went in and out in less than 30 minutes. My kids were bored sadly. Spent more time in the restaurant than we did in the attraction itself. I visited using my gold Merlin card. Had I paid for the visit I would have been really unhappy. Each to their own. We didn’t enjoy our visit much but many others have.
Hi P R, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're really sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet your expectations, especially after having enjoyed the London SEA LIFE. We understand how disappointing it must have been for both you and your kids, and we truly appreciate your feedback. The smell during feeding times is something we're aware of, and we're working on ways to improve the experience for all our visitors. We aim to create an engaging and interactive environment, and it's clear we missed the mark during your visit. We value your input and will take it into consideration as we strive to enhance our attraction. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future to provide a more enjoyable experience for you and your family. Thank you for being a Merlin Annual Pass holder and for taking the time to let us know about your visit. Best wishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: This is a lovely aquarium but is a bit small for the price, and there wasn't a concession for people with a disability which was a shame.
Hi Sally, Thank you so much for visiting SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth and for taking the time to share your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found our aquarium lovely. We strive to create a magical experience for all our visitors. We understand your concerns about the size and pricing, and we truly appreciate your feedback regarding concessions for people with disabilities, anyone registered disabled can claim a free carer, please see our website for details. We hope to welcome you back soon for another underwater adventure! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia negativa: Claire from the management team has a very poor way of communicating, when I highlighted my concerns, I was advised they have regular vet checks (by law and arranged by the government). Part of the attraction was closed, and not well advertised. Apparently this was in the terms and conditions box prior to paying for our visit. On a plus side, if you see it that way, we were given a 50% off voucher to visit again after the 5th April. Our trip will be over by then so this is a wasted voucher. Our visit was over and done with in an hour, which I don't feel is acceptable. The tanks were overpopulated and dirty, animals having to fight for their food, even one of the staff couldn't feed by hand due to overcrowded tanks. The poison dart frog was in a dirty enclosure. Penguin area was dirty with debris on top of walls and on the tank bottom. The dwarf alligator / crocodile could not access its UV lights due to that area of its tank being bloked off. The vast majority of these animals look to be surviving, not thriving. I would not allow any of my animals to live in these conditions, I would definitely not visit again.
Hi Nathan, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience and the concerns you raised during your visit. It's clear that we fell short of providing the enjoyable and educational experience in your opinion, and I apologize for any distress this caused. Your comments about the condition of our tanks and enclosures, as well as the communication issues, are very concerning. We take the welfare of our animals very seriously and are committed to ensuring they thrive in a clean and safe environment, I would like to reassure you that we are Biaza accredited, and have regular inspections and no concerns have been raised, i hope this goes some way to reassuring you. I assure you that your observations will be shared with our team for immediate review and if any action is required. I understand that the closure of part of the attraction and the timing of the voucher were disappointing. We aim to communicate any changes as clearly as possible, and I'm sorry if this wasn't the case during your visit. Thank you again for your feedback. It is invaluable in helping us improve our services and facilities. If there's anything further you'd like to discuss, please feel free to reach out. Warm regards, SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: it’s a lovely experience with lots of different fish they even have penguins!
Hi Darcy, Thanks a splash for your fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a lovely experience exploring the wonders of the ocean with us. Penguins are always a crowd favourite, aren't they? We're so glad they made your visit extra special. We hope to sea you again soon for more underwater adventures! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: I brought a yearly pass when my daughter was three months old and don't regret my decision! It's been a brilliant place to visit throughout the year, an escape from the cold on our walks in the winter and now she can walk and explore everything herself she enjoys it even more. Staff always friendly and make the effort to talk to her which is always appreciated. On our last visit she got to throw grapes into one of the tanks, just as we happened to be passing when the staff member was feeding them, they offered her to help. Baby changing always super clean and staff in the cafe always super helpful with helping bring coffees to the table. Grateful to live close enough to visit frequently and definitely will be renewing my pass next month.
Hi Charlie! Wow, your review absolutely made our day! We're thrilled to hear that your yearly pass has been such a hit for you and your daughter. It sounds like she's having a blast exploring and making the most of her visits. Our team loves creating those special moments, like feeding the fish, and it's fantastic to know that you both enjoyed it. We're also glad to hear that our staff has been friendly and helpful, whether it's chatting with your little one or lending a hand in the café. Keeping everything clean and welcoming is super important to us, so your feedback means a lot. Thank you for being such a loyal visitor, and we can't wait to welcome you both back for more adventures. Here's to another year of fun and exploration! See you soon, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: You have to book online you can’t just turn up which is abit of a pain. Not the biggest place so doesn’t take too long to look round. Spend a couple of hours there. Staff are friendly and do talks.
Hi Stuffy, Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found our team friendly and enjoyed the talks. We totally get that booking online can be a bit of a hassle, but it helps us manage the number of visitors and ensure everyone has a great experience. We're glad you spent a couple of hours exploring and hope you discovered some of your favourite sea creatures along the way. If you decide to visit again, we'd love to welcome you back for another splash-tastic adventure! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Breezy February day so got out of the cold and learnt a bit,friendly staff,renovation work happening so gave us half price discount for next visit
Hi Lee Kay! Thanks a ton for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time escaping the February chill with us at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. Our team loves making your visit special, and we're glad you found them friendly. It's awesome that you got to learn a bit while you were here! We're currently sprucing things up with some renovations, so we're delighted to offer you a half-price discount for your next visit. We can't wait to welcome you back for more underwater adventures! See you soon! The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Myself, my fiancé and our 6 month old daughter had a lovely time here this morning. Lovely colours, good sensory for children and very friendly staff. Our daughter loved the octopus and the jellyfish! Me and my fiancé touched a starfish and I held an African land snail. We will definitely be back when our daughter is a bit older. Thank you
Hi Rach D! Wow, it sounds like you and your family had an amazing underwater adventure at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth! We're thrilled to hear that your little one enjoyed the octopus and jellyfish – they're definitely some of our stars! And how cool that you got to touch a starfish and hold an African land snail! Our team loves creating memorable experiences for families, and we're so glad you found the visit sensory-friendly and our staff welcoming. We can't wait to welcome you all back when your daughter is a bit older for even more aquatic fun! Thank you for the fantastic review and for choosing to spend your morning with us. See you next time! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia negativa: £56 for an adult and 2 children, it took us 30 minutes to walk around the place and we were bored. I asked a member of staff if there was an area we had missed as it was so small, the reply was you have full access for a further 4 hours, mmm go round a further 8 times? No thanks. The shark area was also getting refurbished and closed but no mention of this on the website when paying over the odds. They gave us a 50% off the next visit but we won’t be going again, once you’ve seen a couple of rooms there’s no need to go back. Take a free trip around a fish aquarium and save yourself the money. Waste of money, time and won’t be visiting this venue again.
Hi Daniel, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it can be to find out our ocean tank is having a refurbishment. We strive to ensure all guests have a full experience, and it's unfortunate that this impacted your visit. Just as a reminder, our tickets are valid for the entire day, so guests are welcome to come and go as they please, with several talks through out the day. You also tick a box before purchasing your tickets which states you have read the information regarding the refurbishment of the ocean tank, we are sorry you missed this information. We would love for you to return and have the opportunity to experience all we have to offer, when our exciting new ocean tank re-opens. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth
Experiencia negativa: £58 for 4 to visit we were in and out in half hour. The tunnel was closed but didn’t know that until we got there, but still charged full price. Although I can’t imagine imagine the tunnel would add much more on to the experience. We have visited Hunstanton sea life centre in the past and there was a lot more there.

Experiencia fantástica: This is probably the best sealife I have visited. Most of the staff are really nice and actually want to interact with you, discussing the animals. They have some beautiful creatures like the turtle, the Octopus, a dwarf crocodile, the penguins and the sharks. It's in a good location with parking the beach and amusements around.
Hi Paige, Wow, your review just made our day! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. Our team loves sharing their passion for our amazing creatures, and it's awesome to know that you enjoyed interacting with them. From the playful penguins to our Rays and sharks, it sounds like you met quite the underwater crew! Thanks a ton for visiting and for your wonderful words.

Experiencia positiva: Nice place with lots of aquariums to see for little ones. They’re at their height so they can really enjoy it and there are activities like penguin feeding etc. I was a bit sad to see the part where kids can touch the starfish. I assume it’s not to the starfish’s liking ! You can feed the fish! Currently the shark tank is closed but will reopen in April 2025. They’re very transparent about it and offer you a discounted ticket if you are to come back in the summer when it will have reopened
Hi Chloé, Thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and the little ones had a great time exploring our aquariums. It's always a joy to see kids getting up close and personal with the wonders of the ocean at their own height! We totally understand your concern about the starfish touch pool. Rest assured, we have measures in place to ensure the well-being of our marine friends, and we continuously review our practices to keep them happy and healthy. It's great to know you appreciated our transparency about the shark tank closure. We're counting down the days until it reopens in April 2025, and we can't wait to welcome you back for an even more exciting adventure! Thanks again for visiting and sharing your feedback. We hope to see you and your family again soon for more underwater fun! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia negativa: Today, Saturday, my disabled daughter asked to visit on her 33rd birthday. She has a mental age of a toddler. We drove an hour and knew we would get to the door at 2pm. Times state 3pm close, but an hour inside would have been sufficient. The doors were locked at 2pm. Staff inside ignored us and said they are closed. Restaurant had customers in. Very disappointed daughter on her special day. We observed many people trying the door and walking away. If the doors are locked at 2pm this should be clear. Not everyone lives on your doorstep. I will be reaching out to the head office and the edp to escalate this complaint as your reply is not sufficient an apology.
Dear Karl, I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience on your daughter's special day. It must have been incredibly frustrating and disappointing to arrive with such anticipation only to find the doors closed, our last admissions is 2pm, this is when our admissions desk closes and the site closes at 3pm. We understand how important this visit was for your daughter, and it’s heartbreaking to know that she was left disappointed. We strive to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all our visitors, and it's clear we fell short in this instance. Your feedback is invaluable, Please know that we care deeply about the experiences of all our guests, and we are committed to making improvements. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your daughter back in the future for a much more positive experience. Please feel free to reach out to us, if you would like to check our opening hours before your next visit. Warm regards, SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia negativa: I feel very poor value for money. We have pad 60 for four of us and 2 hours in we have seen everything, had coffee etc. The communication on the biggest aquarium being closed is very wishy washy. They cover themselves stating building works carried out while half of the place is unaccessible. They give out 50% off for a next visit, but weshould get that discount on today's visit to be fair. Verysneaky comms on their website upon buying the ticket. Doubt we will ever return
Hi Diana, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I'm truly sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet your expectations and that you felt it wasn't good value for money. It's important to us that every guest has a memorable and enjoyable time, and I apologise for any disappointment caused by the aquarium closure and the way it was communicated. I understand how frustrating it must have been to find parts of the attraction inaccessible and to feel that the information provided wasn't clear. Your feedback is invaluable to us. We hope you'll reconsider and give us another chance in the future. We'd love the opportunity to provide a better experience for you and your family. Warm regards, SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: Great atmosphere and animals, bigger than I thought it would be. Took about an hour to walk through, and although the price is slightly steep for that amount of time thats not unusual for any sealife. Worth a visit at off peak times
Hi Kade Felix, Thanks a bunch for swimming by and sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere and our amazing aquatic friends. It's always a splash when our visitors find us bigger than expected! We're glad you found it worth the visit, especially during off-peak times. We hope to sea you again soon for another underwater adventure! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: Went to Great Yarmouth on 18/1/25. Although the website stated a part was closed it failed to mention it was the main underwater section yet still charged you the full amount with a half price discount to visit when it is up and running. Bit cheeky. Should just be charging half price until it is fully up and running.
Hi Paul, Thank you for supporting us and for sharing your thoughts! We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback. We're really excited for the new ocean tunnel to open, and once it's fully operational, it will provide an even more incredible experience. We hope you'll return to enjoy it in all its glory! Your input helps us improve, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia positiva: Quite pricey for the time it takes to get round. If you want to read everything you can be in and out in 30 minutes. The touch tank was fun and feeding the fish in with the rays was also fun. But not somewhere i personally am rushing back to
Hi Jamie, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the touch tank and feeding the fish with the rays – those are definitely some of our favorite experiences too! We understand that everyone has different expectations, and we're sorry to hear that your visit felt a bit short for the price. Your feedback is really valuable to us as we strive to improve and create a more engaging experience for all our visitors. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to show you more of what SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth has to offer. Take care and have a wonderful day! Best, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team

Experiencia positiva: We went this weekend with my daughter and her friend for her 6th birthday treat. We paid online with my blue light card beforehand and it was much cheaper than on the door. However saying that it was still quite a bit (£50) for what ended up being an hour. They did try and sell us a guide book and trail which seemed a bit pointless. The parking next door (car park) is expensive but that's to be expected due to the location. The actual centre is clean and the fish look well looked after. The displays are good with a 'sunken lost city', a glass tunnel, penguins, a submarine and our kids favourite the axolotls. Also there is a small section with ants, insects, cockroaches and tree frogs which was good. The kids got a green screen keyring each which was quite steep at £15 for 2 (but they wanted them to show off on their school bags!) We didn't try the cafe nor the gift shop but they both looked good. Overall 4 stars for the size of the centre, time it takes to go around and the cost of entry. We wouldn't visit again, but it was ok for a windy wet Autumn day for one off treat.
Hi Kate, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that your daughter and her friend enjoyed celebrating her 6th birthday at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. It sounds like the axolotls and the 'sunken lost city' were a big hit! We appreciate your feedback regarding the cost and the duration of your visit. We strive to offer a memorable experience for all our guests, and your comments help us to improve. We're glad to hear that the centre's cleanliness and the well-being of our aquatic friends met your expectations. It's great to know that the kids loved their green screen keyrings. We hope they enjoy showing them off at school! Thank you again for your visit and for sharing your thoughts. We hope you have many more wonderful adventures, even if they take you elsewhere next time. Best wishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Second visit still just as fascinating as the first
Hi Victoria! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your second visit was just as fascinating as the first! It's always wonderful to welcome back our guests and know that the magic of the underwater world continues to captivate. We can't wait to see you again for another adventure. Thanks for sharing your experience and for the fantastic rating! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Really enjoyed the visit. They fit a lot into a small space. You can't walk with penguins, like at Scarborough, but there is an outside viewing area. We got carried away, and were told it was closing. We had been in 3 hours lol. Got a big discount, via Cadburys, so well worth the entry fee. Would highly recommend, especially if the weather's not great outside.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and rate our attraction. We are thrilled to hear that you really enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you again soon for another underwater adventure! Many thanks
Experiencia positiva: I still think £16 is a lot, while you spend a little over an hour there. You spend way more time in a zoo for similar or sometimes even less! The penguins were a bit harder to see. Wish they had seals. Loved the sea horses and leaf ants. Overall not too bad. The basic merlin pass saved the price though. The passes just show that they are over charging as btw.
Hi Ondra V, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback with us. We understand that the value for money is an important aspect of your visit, and we appreciate your perspective on the pricing. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the sea horses and leaf ants – they are indeed fascinating creatures! We’re sorry to hear that the penguins were a bit harder to see and that you missed having seals. Your feedback is valuable as it helps us improve the experience for all our visitors. We're glad that the basic Merlin pass helped with the cost, and we always strive to provide a memorable experience for everyone. Thank you for your visit and for taking the time to leave a review. We hope to welcome you back again soon and provide an even better experience! Best wishes, The SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Team
Experiencia fantástica: Our family had a great morning at Sea Life. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Everything seemed to be clean and in good order. Around the centre the staff had good knowledge of the sea life and were able to give lots of information about different creatures. We visited the Costa which was also nice and clean. It is expensive but all of the food and drinks were of great quality. It would be much easier if there were trays available at the start though - I did struggle to carry sandwiches and cold drinks to the counter. Most places would have trays for customers to put things on to carry them to the counter so this did seem odd. The toilets and baby changing facilities were very clean and there was staff to direct people to where they needed to go which was very helpful. We purchased some photo souvenirs at the end. The staff member was very chatty and made a point of saying hello to our children which was nice. We also managed to park right outside. £8.50 for 4 hours right on the seafront. You do need to download the parking app though - there didn't seem to be any other options.
Hi Denise Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review and we are so glad you enjoyed your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon for another visit :) Kind regards
Experiencia fantástica: Great place. A must visit. I personally love all the sea life locations i visit. Great staff and loads to learn/look at. Whats not to like.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate us. We are pleased you found our attraction a great place to visit. We look forward to seeing you again in the future, kind regards
Experiencia positiva: Small Sealife Centre. Well planned inside but completed the visit in just over an hour. Small outdoor section.
Thank you for your review. We are a smaller aquarium however there are over 1,500 sea creatures to discover. Guests are welcome to tour the attraction multiple times to catch all the creature talks and feeding sessions that occur throughout the day. We do hope you visit again in the futures.
Experiencia fantástica: Been here a few times over the years. Great aquarium to vist. Kids loved it. Was not too busy when we went.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate our attraction, Kind regards
Experiencia positiva: Ideal for a wet day, but still good for a sunny day if you enjoy aquariums. They have packed a lot into a small area, but it still feels like one of the smaller Sea Life centres - we were there for just over an hour (we didn't appear to be going any faster than other visitors) which made it quite an expensive visit.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and a rating for our attraction, we hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards
Experiencia positiva: Smaller than I remember but fair amount to see. Less interactive sessions than there used to be. Summer 1/2 price kids entry
Hello Gemma We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback and look forward to your future visits.. Kind regards
Experiencia fantástica: Good time. Not the largest sea Life exhibit but there was still plenty to see and do. The opportunity to touch some star fish was cool with the kids
Good Morning Glenn Thank you for providing feedback on your recent visit to SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. Kind regards,
