Itinerary
Step out of the Victorian Arcade and enter into the hot and humid rainforest to experience what life is like beneath the tropical treetops. Winding through the roots and tree trunks, rainforest rivers are home to some spectacular fish. As you step through the roots of a giant tree an Anaconda welcomes you to her home. Follow her trail towards a mystical ruined temple and you'll come across some magical Water dragons, colorful Poison Dart Frogs, and fearsome Piranhas. As you explore the rainforest, don't forget to say hi to a group of rescued terrapins, they're waiting to meet you. Take a seat in the beautiful Victorian auditorium built in 1872 and see the incredible 750,000-liter ocean display. Here you can get great views from above of the 3 species of sharks, rescued sea turtles, rays and tropical fish. This is where you can also board a glass bottom boat experience. Purchase a ticket at admissions at the start of your visit to get even closer to the incredible creatures. After, take a stroll under the sea as you experience the ocean display through an amazing glass tunnel. Shoals of glittering fish swim alongside you whilst the enormous Green Sea Turtles Lulu and Gulliver glide slowly over your head. Seahorses may sound like mythical creatures but you can see just how real and amazing they are. See the seahorses grip on seagrass with their curly tails and suck up tiny shrimp with their straw-like snouts; if you're lucky you may even hear their unique "finger-clicking" sounds as they feed. Find out more about seahorse breeding program at SEA LIFE Brighton. Come and meet the newest residents in a brand new display – Secrets of the Reef. Dive in and discover the tropical paradise of a Maldives Reef. Meet its most famous residents like the regal tang and clownfish and get closer than ever before in a crawl through a tunnel. Understand what threatens their future, and see how SEA LIFE is helping by working with a local community out in the Maldives to help rebuild a coral reef. Meet the armored division of the marine world. Learn about the amazing anatomy of crabs and find out what makes them one of the most powerful predators of the seabed. The Claws exhibit hosts different crustaceans from around the world and features the Japanese spider crab, the largest arthropod in the world, with legs that can reach 12-feet across when fully grown!

Nice Little few hours out with the family, Staff friendly and knew about the animals. Would go again maybe try one of their other ones
We loved it! Plenty to see, good value, and we even got to see turtles and sharks being fed! Staff are lovely and friendly. Very interesting, I would highly recommend it, expecially for families.
The staff go out of their way to help. It is central and has so much that is of interest. However when we went yesterday at about 11am. It was very noisy, busy and with continually loud and unpleasant music. Not at all in line with nature. They need to consider people with neuro diversity issues and physical disabilities. I asked for a wheelchair which they said they don't have. They should have one for an emergency as we experienced yesterday. I understand that because it is a listed building it cannot be fully accessible but a wheelchair would have been helpful to exit via the long corridor. However staff are really lovely and tried to help. They may be missing out on revenue from older and disabled people. Thanks
It was a beautiful experience and the staff were very friendly and helpful in taking pictures even without being asked. Lovely
So expensive for what it is. Tanks seem quite small. Especially the one with the turtles in. Felt really sorry for them. Other tanks seem quite small as well. Didn’t find that it was that interactive compared to some other places.
When we arrived, staff were super friendly, especially to our friend who was celebrating their birthday. We did the glass bottom boat experience, where our captain for the trip Jared was exceptionally helpful in answering all our questions and was so friendly to us all during our experience and also when we saw him whilst exploring the aquarium.
Ahoy! Wow! What a FIN-tastic review! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know you enjoyed your visit with us/ We are so pleased to hear that Jared helped make your visit that much more special, we're so very proud of our team here. We hope to see you swim by again soon for another underwater adventure! Best fishes, SEA LIFE Brighton
What a great time we had. We spent just over 1 hour here which was was perfect for us. We saw some amazing fish and our favourite was the big turtles we got some great pictures from our time there. We got a bargain as it was out of school holidays and their was option for cheaper entry with myself and grandson being 5. I have to add how lovely everyone was who we spoke to during our time there everyone was so friendly and took time to speak to my grandson especially the girl in the shop who was interested in Georges time at the sealife centre.
Ahoy Tina, WOW! Thank you taking the time to leave a FINtastic 5 star review. Its great to hear you enjoyed getting to see our Beautiful Sea turtles and made the most of finding some great deals for entry. We are thrilled that our staff were able to make your day even more special and will pass on your kind words to the team. We hope you swim by to SEA us again soon. Best fishes, SEA LIFE Brighton.
Amazing. Great talk on the turtles and sharks.
Ahoy! Thank you so much for your FIN-tastic review! How great that you were able to hear one of our a-RAY-zing talks at our centre. We're so proud to offer a place of adventure, and always strive to use our centre to help educate our guests on the wonders of the ocean! We hope to see you swim by again soon.

SEA LIFE Brighton is definitely worth the money, especially if you are taking a disabled person as you buy one ticket and the carer goes free, which is a really good bonus. There is lots to do for younger children with plenty of different experiences throughout the Sea Life Centre. The virtual reality experience was very good, especially the shipwreck experience. The young lad working on the shipwreck virtual reality was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and very open when talking to visitors, which made the experience even better. The food and drinks were okay, although a little on the expensive side, but that’s expected at most attractions. One thing I thought was really good was the ladies’ toilets having smaller children’s toilet seats, children’s sinks, and lower hand dryers, which is brilliant if you have younger children with you. The whole place has changed massively in the last 20 years since I last visited, and it has definitely improved. The staff throughout were all really nice and helpful. Obviously, the gift shop is overpriced, but that’s to be expected as attractions like this make money from merchandise. If you take your time going around, you can easily spend a good two to three hours in there. Overall, I would definitely recommend it for families and anyone visiting Brighton
Ahoy! Wow! What a CLAW-some review, thank you so much for taking the time to let us know you enjoyed your visit with us! We love being a place that all guests can enjoy, with plenty of different experiences offered throughout. Our FIN-tastic team are always here to share some fun fishy facts and to make your day even better. We are always working hard to preserve the beautiful Victorian architecture as we are the oldest operating aquarium in the world - over 150 years old, yet there is always plenty to see and do for all of our guests. We're so happy you had a magical adventure with us at SEA LIFE Brighton, and we hope to see you swim by again soon! Best fishes, SEA LIFE Brighton
Its a great tour . We did it without tour operator. The aquarium filled with stories and their struggles to keep the aquarium open Would have loved to see dolphins . The turtles were amazing
