What To Expect
SEA LIFE London Aquarium
The mysterious Sea Life London Aquarium experience is spread over three floors and starts by taking a submarine-style elevator to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Next, take a walk through the stunning glass tunnel underneath a tropical ocean. There is plenty of interaction along the way, from diving displays to optional touch pools and discovery zones. Other species you can see include green turtles, seahorses, octopus, zebra sharks and the ever-popular clown fish. The true highlight starts as you journey in the deeper, darker zone of the Pacific Ocean. Take a walk on the wild side and watch from a suspended glass platform as 10 species of shark swim beneath your feet. The exciting and diverse underwater world awaits you at Sea Life London Aquarium. One of the most popular and dramatic displays at Sea Life London Aquarium is the revamped Shark Reef Encounter where sinister Sand Tiger sharks, Bow Mouths, Black Tips and Grey Reefs are (with a shoal of less menacing fish to keep them company!). Get closer to some of the world’s biggest creepy crawlies in new interactive displays that allows 360° views of the most infamous jungle inhabitants in new Rainforest Adventure!

1.00Absolutely horrible experience. Dark, cramped and felt sad for the poor wildlife. Completely claustrophobic in there and penguins should most definitely not be kept in an aquarium. They belong in the wild. Avoid and safe your money.
a nice place friendly to families with small children

5.00Ranger Annie made this visit special for my daughter . My daughter was dressed up as an axolotl as she’s crazy about them , it was also her birthday. Ranger Annie noticed my daughter and started talking to her and invited her behind the scenes to see the axolotls , which she did during her break! It was such a kind thing to do ! Thank you

5.00Very awesome experience, loads of species of aquatic animals to see and even take pictures.
Boring, empty, and overpriced.

1.00Boring, empty, and overpriced. What happened to the London Aquarium? It used to have great tanks, but now it's mostly just plain walls. I took my daughter here for her 16th birthday and we were all thoroughly disappointed. Very few tanks, uninteresting displays, and a very sad-looking penguin enclosure where the animals just look cooped up. Even the VR was poor. It felt like even the fish were bored! Definitely not worth the high ticket price.
Great place

3.00It's dark, crowded and mostly for kids. There was very little educational information about the fish.
A fun visit

4.00A real visit of contrasts - some of the exhibits were really good, but some were in the need of TLC. The penguins were particularly underwhelming/disappointing. The number of school groups did make for a noisy visit and some difficulty viewing the aquariums - but the kids were excited to be there, so that's great.
Amazing
