would have got four stars for quality if the price had been more appropriate. We spent a week in this area and this was by far the most expensive attraction we visited despite being probably the smallest. The cafe was the best we visited all week with fantastic views but this did not compensate for the high cost of entry.... More

Glad I had a voucher as the prices for the place are very unreasonable. You could quite easily and we did get around the whole place in under an hour. Then there is the cafe and of course gift shop to grab more expenses. I'd rather take the kids to a decent park. Where they could play for hours and... More

I took my 6-year-old niece to this recently and we were both majorly disappointed. It is very expensive and they don't do child prices (so it cost £23.40 for us both to enter) and we had been around and seen everything in less than one hour. It seems to be extremely popular, the queue to get in was out of... More

Located in the LOCH LOMOND SHORES complex Sea Life is most definitely worth a visit. The location at Loch Lomond, the Sea Life building, the sea creatures (sharks, sea horse, octopus, otters, tunnel.....) and the staff are of a very high standard. I will definitely be returning again without doubt, great play park, shops, boat and canoe hire on site.

Very expensive £14 for an adult and not a lot to do. We were in and out with 25 minutes and that included walking through the displays twice

Very little to see for price you have paid. You can experience this in about an hour.

This is a great experience for children and adults too, there is a great variety of different mammals, fish and an octopus. You can help feed the fish and other creatures at different times of the day and your photos will be great i took my ipad an took some video clips then went home and showed the family what... More
