Although have been to these before, they ARE all the same, this one is quite small and was over in less than 30 mins, cost a fortune to get in and the restaurant was heaving with people. Overall, been there and done it!

i enjoyed seeing all the marine life in the centre, and seeing that they were really well looked after, and learnt about quite a lot of different mammals

Only because someone gave us a money off ticket that we decided to go.It would have cost £14 each otherwise.I understand they have overheads but to charge that amount and to only take about an hour to walk around and that was going back to have a look twice. Some of the tanks were open and at childrens height,but you... More

Maybe I've visited too many aquariums but there was nothing at this particular Sealife Centre to make me think 'WOW!'. Some of the highlights include the shark tank which is nicely landscaped with a huge Medusa statue and a large viewing area where you can sit down. This place also differs from many aquariums in that they have a penguin... More

This was the first time my daughter has ever seen fish, and she loved all of the different types! at just 1 she loved the penguins the most! then the sharks afterwards, The woman who done the talk with the sharks was really enthusiastic, the only real downside is the sloap down in the jellyfish area, it was a bit...

I just wanted to write a quick review about the place after a visit this past week with my little 3 year old nephew. The attraction itself is not the best value for money... he ran through the centre at top speed and we ended up staying there for about an hour in total. It was amusing though to hear... More

Wasn't as much fun as i think we all hoped. Maybe we were too quick going around it - but with a 3 year old they don't want to stop and stare at the different fish for longer than 5 minutes a tank. It was a bit cheaper as we bought our tickets before we went - but not at... More

We have visited many different centres and the Great Yarmouth is just as interactive and interesting. We visited on a weekday where it was quieter, however the staff were on hand to give exciting talks on the different creatures and ensure we enjoyed our visit. The infant aquariums are on display and were a real highlight of our trip...don't forget... More

Again this place requires a budget but is of a high standard when it comes to the sights. I recommend.
