Good morning, The experience at Sea Life London Aquarium was fantastic! We entered around 10:00 am and stayed there about 2 hours and 30 minutes among the tanks filled with spectacular specimens of sharks, fish of all kinds. The most beautiful part, in our opinion, were the penguins, which as most of the time, is the favorite "attraction" for both older and younger visitors! Highly recommended experience

Memorable all around experience. But would have been great if the lighting inside some tanks were bit brighter and the tank glasses were more clean as some tanks had dirt spots blocking the view from small kids. Also, if any chance you could include a dolphin section would be much appreciated as well. Thank you team Thank you team.

The sea life aquarium was amazing. It was so fun to watch all the aquatic life forms. The huge viewing tunnel was the highlight of the aquarium where the fishes literally swim all around you. The penguin exhibit was also fun. I would definitely recommend the sea life aquarium to anyone who is visiting London.

    The aquarium worth visit. It is bit old infrastructure and glasses are not well polished as it should be, but the species collection, the way it designed, from fresh water to salt water, from rain forest to ice, it captured our engagement. We visit as family with 4years kid.
