A highlight for everyone is undoubtedly the mighty ocean tank, teeming with tropical sharks and colourful reef fish. From the amazing vantage of a walk through underwater tunnel it is easy to imagine it is you…rather than the fish…that is on display! « less

My 4yo son is absolutely obsessed with ocean creatures, so this was a must-see for us. It was different to what I expected/have experienced at other aquariums, but he definitely enjoyed it. I was particularly surprised by the decor, and the pirate themed area, and the general impression that the sea life itself wasn't going to be enough for people... more

£13.5 for an adult and £9.5 for a 3 year old - you really have to be into your sealife to pay it. An expensive 40 minutes. more

Sealife is a good place to visit if you're in the blackpool area. Kids will love getting to see their favourite sea creatures! It is a fascinating place to get up close and personal with the fish and underwater creatures from all over the world! more

I think personally that it was a it disapointing. I took my three year old son and my bf and my brother. My little boy did enjoy looking at the fish and the pirate room especially. It was a bit of a rip off paying about £12.50 for a adult to get in. It took us about half an hour... more

I must say after reading the other review I was jubious about going but my 3 year old really wanted to see the sharks. It cost around £25 pound for the 4 of us (only paid for 2 adults as there are vouchers everywhere offering children free entry) so it wasnt bad in price. The staff couldnt do enough, they... more
