The day was filled with interesting information walking over the sharks at the beginning was excellent. The larger array of fish was impressive It was very busy but taking your time you got to see all of the exhibits. The penguins were great but the jellyfish exhibit was my favourite

It was my first Aquarium visit, So i thought everyhing was interesting. I loved The tortoise and The jellyfish. I think it would of been Better without The people stoping in random places, blocking The view, to eat. There were 2 places with a bit more space for rest where people stayed like in a picnic place.

All of it we've been planning this trip for years and everything was amazing though the bobba tea could of been cheaper and queuing to get through by the green screen when we didn't want a photo was a bit much.

A School trip of around 30 children made the venue rather tight for space perhaps schools could book certain days rather than with the general public.
Sally

Not too busy so didn't have to queue for anything. Knowledgable and informative staff member talking at the shark tank. Overall it was a great morning - the whole place feels a little tired though and could do with a bit of a face lift but didn't detract from the enjoyment for my children! Felt quite expensive for what it was - we were there for 2 hours and for a family of 4 it cost £141. Compared to other attractions where you spend much longer I don't think this is as good value for money.

It was a special visit becasue my Great Grandson who lives in Manchester came up for the weekend with his mummy & daddy. They took him to the Sea Life up North but this one was bigger and better. It was a lovely visit. My own personal treat was seeing the Penguins.

It was nice but was very disappointed when I found out the penguin enclosure was shut for refurb, do I think it was worth over 70 quid for two people no, way to expensive fir what you get

- Meet the most colorful marine residents: From dazzling jellyfish to curious octopuses, SEA LIFE London is packed with 500+ species across 14 themed zones. Watch clownfish dart through coral, stingrays glide like underwater kites, and seahorses bob along!
- Be more than just a spectator: Feel the rough surface of a starfish, watch crabs navigate the Rockpool, and get up close at touch pools. Then, catch feeding demos where sharks and penguins chow down—it's an ocean experience you won't just watch but genuinely engage with!
- Learn how to save marine life: The aquarium has conservation displays about endangered species, ocean pollution, and sustainable fishing. You can also catch an educational talk or join an aquarium-led beach cleanup to help make a difference!

We chose 3 because we only had 1 day. It was great because it did not require reservations for Westminster Abbey which was sold out for the day.
