About

Sealife Adventure – The UK’s First Zooquarium!

Sealife Adventure is proud to be the UK’s very first Zooquarium – a one-of-a-kind attraction that blends the wonders of the ocean with the magic of the animal kingdom. With over 40 fascinating species, from the depths of the sea to the heart of the jungle and the heat of the savannah, it’s an unforgettable day out for the whole family.

Marvel as tropical fish, graceful sharks, and gliding cownose rays swim above you in the breathtaking overhead tank – a truly immersive underwater experience.

And the adventure doesn't stop there! Sealife Adventure is also home to an incredible variety of land animals, including playful monkeys, curious meerkats, vibrant tropical butterflies, adorable penguins, and so much more.

For a truly interactive experience, we offer animal feeder experiences for our penguins, meerkats, and sharks & rays. These unique opportunities allow you to get up close and personal with some of our favourite creatures, and are available at half price when you hold either an Adventure Island or Sealife annual pass.

Speaking of annual passes, the Adventure Island annual pass also gets you half price entry into Sealife Adventure!

When it’s time to refuel, head to the Three Shells Café, conveniently located within the aquarium, for classic fish and chips or a tasty snack. Don’t forget to visit our gift shop for a wide selection of souvenirs to remember your visit!
