Hello! We had an absolutely wonderful time during our visit yesterday to the London aquarium. I often come here with my children — my son is 16 and my daughter is 12 — and every time it is a special experience. My mother came to visit us from Ukraine, and we decided to surprise her with a visit for Mother’s Day. She was so happy and truly amazed by everything she saw. There were so many beautiful fish, sharks, jellyfish, and corals. She kept wondering how it’s possible that the big fish don’t eat the smaller ones! Her favourite part was definitely the penguins — she loves them so much and could watch them forever. It was such a joyful and memorable day for our whole family. Thank you to the entire team for creating such an incredible underwater experience!

My experience was good, everything went well and my daughters and I were very happy with everything we saw in the aquarium, especially the sea turtles, stingrays and sharks. The toilets were clean and organized, which pleased me very much. At the end there is a little shop where you can buy souvenirs of the incredible day, but the prices of the products could be more affordable.

The ease of booking and the ability to amend my ticket. At the attraction the use of the ticket was seamless and easy. The London Sea life Centre was very good and disabled friendly. You were not rushed around the aquarium. I would recommend. Allow a couple of hours to visit. Very enjoyable for all ages and a lot to see. There are many different habitats to view.

It was a very fun experience! The kids loved it and we couldn't get them away from the huge turtle and sharks display that was in the middle of the exhibit. You could see it from every angle and the lighting and music added to the experience in a very fun and artistic way! Very much recommended!

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.

Good value for money! Not too busy. Ability to take your time too! Lots of photo opportunities which is nice! Lots of toilets around which is handy when you have young children!! Lots of beautiful creatures. Our favourite was Bowzer the snapping turtle who Sea Life are now looking after since he was abandoned (see photo!) he's so cute. The only thing I would say is I think improvements are definitely needed for the penguin area..space, visual access and cleanliness.

The experience was overall great with a variety of sea creatures to be seen throughout the park. But I have mixed feelings on the penguin exhibit as I feel the enclosure isn't fitting for them.
