If your kids are fascinated by the weird and wonderful creatures of the underwater world, you should definitely visit SEA LIFE Centre Great Yarmouth. Walking under the underwater tunnel, surrounded by all sorts of curious marine creatures just swimming about never fails to amaze!

Needless to say, getting up close to real sharks and penguins is always a favourite with the younger visitors. Oh, and the Rock Pool is popular too. It’s the area where your little ones can touch starfish and other shallow water creatures.

With feeds, talks and educational shows available daily, SEA LIFE won’t disappoint no matter when you decide to go.
