I recently visited Sealife Blackpool with my 3 young children and I really have to say how dissatisfied I was with the visit. We used Tesco Clubcard Vouchers to exchange for entry to the attraction & that was a massive saving grace. For us to have visited it should have cost between £70-£80 and that is a ludicrous amount of money for what is on offer here now. One of the main tanks is currently empty as they are improving it. I understand that they have to update and build new things but they shouldn’t charge the same amount of money when they are offering less exhibits and if they are then they should at least be warning people that there is a massive exhibit lying empty. Secondly I don’t understand how every time I visit the attraction seems to actually be getting smaller but the price seems to go up, surely you could do one or the other, because they are pricing people out of actually going, especially those with children. Thirdly I think the fact that there is now a Julia Donaldson play centre next door that cost us only £40 and we spent double the time in and enjoyed a lot more shows that I think the Sealife need to do something because there will be a point where there visiting numbers will get less and less. The fact they can charge £70-£80 for something that is probably an hour to see is something I don’t understand. If I ever return to Blackpool I would be tempted to go again just because my children love looking at fish but I think they need to do something to improve the attraction.

Unfortunately, a very underwhelming visit to Sea Life Blackpool recently. Its an expensive trip out as a family of 5. When I'm parting with that kind of money I expect to spend more than 40 minutes in the attraction. One of the main exhibits was closed on our visit. We received no warning of this upon entry to the attraction. It seems a bit unfair to charge people the same money for less to see and not inform them. If we'd of had the choice we'd of come back when it was open! My kids did enjoy seeing the fish that were there which is a saving grace. From an accessibility point of view its not the most convenient set up. You have to loop back through the whole attraction to access the lifts at the front. This is more a personal annoyance than a negative. You get some funny looks trying to push a double buggy against the natural flow of the attraction layout!

We normally enjoy this attraction and love seeing the good work being done to conserve these creatures. We visited last Tuesday to be greeted by, what seemed like, hundreds of little pre school or very early primary children. They were absolutely everywhere and it was impossible to see the exhibits. I completely understand that the children should have an awesome trip out but the attraction should be closed to the public when they do. We did not experience the full enjoyment of this attraction especially as it cost so much to enter. It should have been reduced on this day. A warning should be put on your booking site to say that school trips are present on certain dates to give people the chance to book another day. It’s the very least that should be done when people are spending so much money to enter. The pleasure beach made it perfectly clear on their website that there are school trips all week giving people a chance to change their dates- this should be done here too. On a positive note, a brilliant talk given by a gent with ginger hair, very informative and engaging.

It's the same old sealife centre, nothing really has changed apart from Costa cafe inside. Needs improvement especially for autistic kids as my 2 year old whizzed round it in 30 mins and it's a lot of money for 30 mins experience. However my 4 & 10 Yr old had fun

We enjoyed the aquarium but as others have said, it is very expensive for what you can see. It was quite crowded when we went which meant we were pushed into going a bit faster than we wanted at times (some of the areas are quite narrow spaces to walk through which makes it difficult to linger) but we spent about 15 minutes in the shark tunnel, which was a highlight. Some of the signage was great, some confusing. Excellent talk from Sarah at the end.

My grandma with limited mobility came with us for this trip. The accessibility is limited and incredibly poor. There are limited seats/rest areas available throughout the attraction and you have to then walk all the way back through, against the crowd, to get back to the lift, with little intervention or help from staff. Incredibly disappointed, despite the aquarium being good itself.

This was our choice of attraction due to the weather, I thought it was enjoyable but not sure it was for value for money. I don't know if it was only us but we appeared to take our time looking at the tanks but were through it all in one hour. Seem over priced for what you get.

It was ok but glad we didn’t pay full price as had tickets through work ! It seems quite tired and run down and your through it in no time at all . Staff were friendly but feel it needs some love and attention ( that includes the staff )

Visited 11th Nov with my 8 month old daughter, her grandparents and my husband. All great until we wanted to feed my daughter. One cafe, one high chair that was filthy (wasn't busy and others weren't in use - there was just one which was really dirty), cafe freezing cold, asked a member of staff for support cleaning or another high chair, passed the book and told us to ask someone else even though there was no one else about. Couldn't feed my daughter as it was so drafty and dirty, would not attend with a young child. Waste of money even with the free tickets from Kellogs. Baby changing filthy, family toilet stunk and was dirty. Really poor.
