What an absolutely amazing experience at SEA LIFE\! The whole visit was fantastic, from the incredible variety of sea creatures around 5000 to the beautiful underwater displays\. 🐢🦈🐙 Everything was well presented, exciting and enjoyable, under control of health and safety and there was something interesting around every corner\. The atmosphere was brilliant, and it was a great experience from start to finish\.we bought some memorable keychain and freeze magnates at the end for trip reminder.

I absolutely love sea creatures. Especially jelly fish and sting rays. The best part was walking through the tunnel where sea life could swim over you. We had a great experience. It was good that there is time slots as it wasn't too busy so we got to see everything. Great experience for everyone no matter what age. All the staff was lovely. It's definitely worth visiting if you're already at the trafford centre as it's so easy to get to and doesn't take much time.

Loved seeing the sharks and turtles, perfect for a date, family time or general knowledge on what they have in the aquarium, although its not the biggest it does have quite alot to view.

Easily one of the best most accessible and informative aquarium experiences our family has visited. Atmodoheric immersive informative revealing . Booking showed an anomaly: my 8yo son is registered disabled (visually impaired). As a carer, I should have been allowed free entry. Ticketing prevents this and we could only reverse the situation by my being the paying adult and he as my carer which is perverse and untrue. When mh family visited (wife totally blind and 2 children rdgistered visually impaired) I became mh wife's carer and elder child became youngest child's carer ... more equitable. Pause for thought ....
