Magic - It was magical for our 3 year old grandson. He could have stayed there all day. He especially liked where he was surrounded by the sea life. Only problem was the presentation at turtle world at the beginning was very hard to hear: too loud and distorted. The soft play area was an added bonus for him, though.

Turtle Feeding Experience Thank you Luke Curator - I can honestly say that it was a wondewrful experience. Our grandson is an absolute walking factfile on turtles he just loves them! AND we treated him to the Turtle Feeding Experience we were very lucky to have Luke to be our Sealife partner...he went above and beyond to explain to our grandson about the food,feeding habits etc of the 2 tutrles Ernie and Cammie. He listened to him and answered questions the whole time. He allowed him to feed the turtle and genuinely seemed very interested and invested in the whole experience. Luke is a special employee of Sealife I'm sure he has made himself an invaluable part of the team and we only hope the management appreciate him. Thanks Luke in my grandsons words you were AWESOME !!! and so was the experience.

Turtle-y great time! - The VIP turtle feeding experience was a present for my daughter and she absolutely loved it! We both got to see and feed the turtles up close. We got to ask lots of questions and Melissa and Liv were very friendly and informative.

Turtley Awesome - A lot of reviews on here seem to forget it's an aquarium in a shopping centre. I had a fantastic time with my partner we went to go feed a turtle which was good enough, however staff there made it perfect. From entry, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Considering we were there at the same time as a horde of families the staff are either some of the best actors alive or some of the most genuinely enthusiastic staff which just made the overall experience while there. A stand out though was Eva who during the turtle feeding experience was giving us loads of genuinely interesting information in relation to the sealife at the aquarium during the turtle feeding experience and couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Big ups Cammy the turtle.

Animal Crossing Takeover - No Tom Nook :/ disappointing, me and my sisters went together to experience it and whilst we had fun collecting stamps we were mainly there for the mascots which we did not see, overall not worth the 2 hour drive or the money on the tickets

Enjoyable but had concerns - Lots to see and lovely tanks. However when I saw a starfish in the handling tank that was clearly trying to escape the keeper said its fine and they don't feel stress as they don't have a brain. Also lots of kids being encouraged to bang on glass and not being asked to stop by staff that heard. Also was finished in 40mins

Disappointing Animal Crossing event February 2025 - We went for the Animal Crossing event, It was very disappointing, we got there for 13:20 the time we paid to go. There was very little to choose from in the gift shop, for the event, it was advertised like some great experience, but we didn’t even get to see the characters. All there was to do, was some stamps dotted around the aquarium, to put on the sheet we had, and a few cardboard cut outs of the characters. Very overpriced for a very disappointing experience.

Nice but small - Its a nice decent place to visit with family but it is very small to what i expected the most it takes with an active toddler is 20 mins or 25 mins max so for the money i would say is not really worth it even tho you pay for only adults but i would suggest booking a lego trip with ut as works out cheaper and you have longer to do things otherwise its good but very small

Would not return - It’s okay but is awful value for money. Our young family paid £74.50 for 2 adults and a child and were there just over an hour (we went around at a slow pace). Other Sea Life’s are much larger and value for money. Would probably pay about half to get value for money, so won’t return. Lots of lovely fish and it is set up nicely although very compact!
