Visit the oldest operating aquarium in the world full of beautiful Victorian architecture. Dive into the unknown at SEALIFE in the heart of Brighton! Let the magic of the ocean come alive before your eyes as you encounter a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and sensations.

Prepare to be captivated by a world teeming with vibrant colours and fascinating creatures from fish to seahorses, sharks to turtles, and beyond. Get up close and personal with an array of fascinating sea creatures. Every step will reveal something new. If you’re brave enough make a stop at the interactive rockpool, where you can get hands-on and feel the textures of a range of creatures.

As you make your way through the oceanic wonderland, you will learn about the critical importance of protecting our marine ecosystems and the incredible work being done to safeguard these fragile habitats. Free talks and feeds are available throughout the day to learn about the creatures and how you can help Sealife with their conservation efforts.

Experience the UK’s first glass bottom boat, introduced in 2010, and enjoy a unique snorkel’s eye view of the huge turtles, the shiver of tropical sharks and shoals of colourful reef fish.

Or why not take a behind-the-scenes tour, an interactive experience which will immerse you into the working world of the aquarium where you will be shown how life support, filtration and water quality systems work, how food is prepared for the animals, plus breeding and research areas.

Explore the Rainforest in the newest exhibit, Rainforest Adventure, and discover the fascinating, beautiful and sometimes dangerous animals that live there. Feel the soft floor under your feet and breathe in the earthy smells as you explore and discover the Anaconda, Water Dragons, Poison Dart Frogs, Piranha and groups of rescued terrapins.

This is the perfect destination for families for a fun day out with the children. Check out the unique events they host during the year such as Discover SHARK LIFE and a treasure hunt!

If you’d still like to enjoy your time at SEALIFE in Brighton without the children, check out their SEA LIFE Lates tickets which allow you to have the experience at a reduced-capacity, adult-only evening running from 6 pm-9 pm. Complimentary alcoholic drinks are provided with every purchased ticket with soft drink options available. At present, there are only four dates available in the coming months.
