A visit to any destination with an aquarium is hugely enjoyable for our family, and I’m so happy to tell you that we all found this Sea Life in Blackpool to be no exception.

We have learned over the years that timing your visit to attractions can be key; this is so true here. Space is finite - it's not a huge aquarium, but it's well worth a visit. Let me tell you why!

✨ The aquarium is right on the promenade in the centre of town and easy to find.

✨ There is plenty of paid parking nearby if you're travelling by car.

✨ We pre-booked our tickets as a multi-attraction package, saving us money and ensuring entry on our chosen day.

✨ All things considered, the entry prices are very reasonable and worth every penny.

✨ We visited on a weekday afternoon (during the English school term) and had plenty of time and space to enjoy the exhibits.

✨ The centre was exceptionally clean, as were the tanks and the animals/fish etc all looked well taken care of.

✨ The animals/fish/sharks etc. were all very active during our visit, which was fabulous to see.

✨There was an abundance of staff; all of whom we found to be exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable.

✨ There were scheduled talks held by the teams, and we all appreciated “Charlie” teaching us some amazing new facts about sharks.

✨ We happened to visit on the Centre’s Sea Turtles' 25th birthday, and we were privileged to see her more than once - a rare treat.

✨ There was a fantastic mixture of creatures to view, including some of the more unusual; an adult Axolotl being one of my favourites!

✨ This was a lovely, family-friendly place to spend a rainy afternoon. We were able to spend plenty of time at our favourite exhibits - especially cool for anyone who like me, enjoys photography.

🤩♿The aquarium has a few different viewing areas, but most of the exhibits are accessible, as is the entrance. 🤩♿ As a disabled person who requires a PA (personal assistant/carer), I had no issue requesting a free PA ticket when purchasing my adult admission.

This has earned a spot in my best attractions to visit whilst in Blackpool. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

😉 My top tip: If you're visiting a few of the attractions included in the “multibuy” packages, don't let having to pre-book slots put you off - the dates/times can be altered later.
