Amazing shark dive!!! - We did the shark dive and it was AMAZING You only get 20 minutes in the actual cave but it’s more than enough! We were no more than a foot away from the sharks and sting rays and fish even come in the cage with us! The lady who showed us around was Melissa and she was so nice!! The tanks were all so clean and very spacious! Fish were all lovely and well looked after! Even seen the gorgeous turtle, sadly he was being lazy today and stayed at the bottom but still very close to us!! Loved it and defiantly doing it again!

Birthday Party Sealife - We booked the birthday party at sealife and it was the best day ever! We had an amazing host who gave us a special tour through Sealife and he took us over to Legoland(as we purchased the bolt on to go there too)The staff at Sealife couldn't do enough for us. We would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of booking there.

100% would recommend!!!! - Eva was absolutely great and so kind and helpful and I would 100% recommend. We did the snorkel experience in the shark tank and it was absolutely great !! Eva was absolutely lovely in our group we have two people with autism and she was so so lovely with us. The whole experience was so SEN friendly and was not overstimulated at all. She never made us feel silly asking questions and was so helpful with sharing information. During the shark tank Eva was so helpful telling us what was happening and took time explaining things so we understood properly and never felt rushed. She took some amazing photos of us whilst doing the experience so we had photos and got some great photos of the sharks and sting rays from up above the tank as she knew they were my favourite. And cannot forget some great photos of Ernie !! After the experience we didn’t feel rushed at all to get ready and were invited to the behind the scenes tour as well which was super great. Eva went through so much with us and even showed us Ernies food as he had been put on a diet 🤣. We got to see some great sea creatures and learnt so much about them. Eva was so approachable and was the most perfect person for our tour and snorkel experience. Cannot give Eva enough praise for doing an absolutely amazing job with us. So thank you !!

Good but small and over priced - Its so expensive for how small it is. But what is there is really good and my little boys absolutely loved all the lights, tunnels and animals

Not worth the price you pay - It was alright and the kids enjoyed it, but even my 4 year old said "Is that it". It's really small and we were finished before 30mins and that included an initial 5mins where we had to listen to a member of staff about turtles. For the price, unfortunately it's not worth it.

Expensive - Too expensive for how small it is. Takes less than 30 mins to walk around the whole place if you’re not bothering with the kids play area or VR experience which you pay extra for.

Frustrating - This is the 2nd time we have been but this time we felt that the tour was too short and this is with us stopping and discussing each display. Also when we got to the gift shop we picked up various items to purchase only to be told that we could not pay by cash it was card only. Being disabled we do not have debit cards choosing only to pay everything with cash. Therefore we put down the items and walked away with no purchase, therefore you lost out on these monies. NO where on your website does it say that you do not take cash. It was very frustrating and upsetting for my wife as she is the disabled one and this visit was for her birthday, she wanted to have something as a keepsake. In future I have to say we will be going to Sea World in Cheshire Oaks.

Genuinely disappointed - Looked a lot bigger on the website. Wish I had looked at reviews was rather disappointing. We were looking forward to seeing their sea turtle didn't realise you had to pay extra for this experience. Thought it would be on display like the other animals not locked away in a separate area. Had a very disappointed little girl who loves turtles.
