We really enjoyed our visit to this sea life adventure. Easily accessible from town center via bus, it is open from 11-3. The tickets are affordable. Toilets as you enter and you can also take photographs which you get to buy later on in the trip. So many beautiful aquatic creatures in this well maintained habitat, the staff is very well informed and there are many places to rest during the trip. We spent 3 hours there and could have spent more if the only bus out was not running at 1350 (the next bus is 5 and sea life closes 3). Otter display was closed but the sharks and sea lions were our favorite. We got to see the sharks being fed and the gift shop was reasonably priced. We also met vipers! Each staff member was so friendly and lovely- thank you. Loved our visit and will go again.
Great Day out - PIrate Golf, play area, otters & sea lions (with Excellent educational talk/ feeding) penguin enclosure including rescue hospital outside so still take a coat :-) ( parking in the winter months was free ) Staff very helpful & friendly. The cafe had excellent prices. All in all would definitely give thumbs up 👍
We went on new years day and honestly had the best time. It was skeleton staff but they all did very well and were knowledgeable. It was a shame that there were a few large families that couldn't put there hand to there mouth while close to my son. It was harder to navigate and so many pushchairs that it was hard to navigate.
Very good for adults and children. We found it very interesting and factual. We spent two and a half hours here, we didn't rush. You have to pay for parking which is not very much. I would recommend buying tickets online before you go as I paid full price which was £22.00 each. Had i booked online it would have been £16.00. But really good nevertheless.
Lovely day out for adults and children. Plenty to see and do. I advise coming for 11 am to see the animals being fed throughout the morning. Staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals, they were all happy to answer questions. We had lunch here also which wasn’t too badly priced and a decent selection available including veggie stuff.
