So much to see!

I had a great time! I was surprised by how many animals there were. From octopus to jellyfish and turtles, I saw it all. The whole aquarium is awesome, but my favorite part was the Shark Walk. Standing on the glass platform and seeing sharks swim right under my feet was so cool! I also enjoyed seeing the seahorses and the colorful reef fish. This is a must if you’re in London!

Fun day out with the kids

My husband and I went with our kids, and we all enjoyed it very much. For me, the Coral Kingdom was the best part. Seeing such a large coral reef up close was stunning. My little ones loved spotting the clownfish and the blue tangs swimming inside. Seeing penguins was another highlight for us all. We also learned a lot and discovered species we never knew existed. If you’re looking for some family-friendly fun, this is a great option!

DESCRIPTION

Sea Life London Aquarium Tickets

EXPLORE EUROPE’S LARGEST MARINE COLLECTION

Discover Sea Life London Aquarium, home to over 10,000 sea creatures and more than 500 different species from across the world. The aquarium spreads over three floors with 14 themed zones. Each zone is designed to highlight different marine ecosystems and their unique inhabitants. Sea Life London is also home to one of Europe’s largest collections of marine life. So, get ready to see schools of colorful fish and sea turtles. You'll also get to watch octopuses moving quietly through their tanks.

WALK AMONG SHARKS AND CORAL REEFS

The London Aquarium features Shark Walk. It is a suspended glass platform where you can stand above sharks and watch them swim under your feet. There are 10 different species of sharks in the tank. They include the sleek sand tiger shark and the shy nurse shark, among others. Nearby, the Coral Kingdom displays the UK’s largest living coral reef. It is housed in a 40-foot (12-meter) long tank full of marine life. Here, you’ll find famous clownfish like Nemo, bright blue tangs, and an array of hard and soft corals. This area shows the bright colors and diversity of coral reefs. It also teaches visitors about their role in marine ecosystems and the threats they face.

MEET PENGUINS, RAINFOREST CREATURES, AND MORE

Explore the Polar Adventure, where you can watch a lively colony of Gentoo Penguins. They are the fastest swimming penguins, reaching speeds of up to 22 mph (36 km/h) underwater. Then, explore the Rainforest Adventure zone. It's a jungle habitat where you can see tarantulas and dwarf crocodiles. Did you know that they are the smallest crocodile species in the world? This is also where you’ll come across the UK’s largest collection of piranhas. Don’t miss the Ocean Invaders zone, home to the UK’s largest jellyfish exhibit. Some species of jellyfish include moon jellyfish and upside-down jellyfish. There, you'll see Japanese sea nettles as they float in tanks. From penguins to jellyfish, London Aquarium tickets let you see a wide range of marine life.

If you enjoy discovering the wonders of wildlife, check out the latest London Zoo offers for tickets and experiences just a short journey away. For animal lovers, SEA LIFE London and London Zoo are two must-see experiences – different in focus, but equally unforgettable.

PRO TIP

If you want to see the sharks clearly, don’t stop at the first open space on Shark Walk. Move toward the edges of the glass platform for a better viewing angle and fewer people around you.

Fun fact about marine animals in London Aquarium

  • Sea Life London Aquarium holds over 2,000,000 liters (530,000 gallons) of water across its tanks — enough to fill about eight Olympic-sized swimming pools!
  • Moon jellyfish have no brain, heart, or bones, yet they've survived for over 500 million years, making them among the oldest living creatures on Earth.
  • Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood. Two hearts pump blood to the gills, and the third pumps it to the rest of the body.
  • Japanese sea nettle jellyfish have tentacles that can grow up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) long. They use their stinging cells to capture prey.
  • Starfish don’t have a brain or blood. Instead, they circulate seawater through their bodies to transport nutrients.
  • Lobsters can regrow lost limbs, which helps them escape predators and survive injuries.
  • Male seahorses are the ones that become pregnant and give birth. They carry the eggs in a special pouch until the babies hatch.

GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

  • Mobile e-tickets are accepted.
  • Arrive at the time stated on your e-ticket and scan it at the timed entry door to begin your tour.
  • Infants under 2 years old can enter for free, but you must still reserve a ticket for them in advance.
  • Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older.
  • No flash photography is allowed in the aquarium. This helps not to disturb marine life.
  • SEA LIFE London is on the route of most hop-on hop-off London bus tours, so it’s easy to combine both activities, especially fun and practical if you’re visiting with kids.

Meeting Point

The meeting point depends on the option that is booked.

PRO TIP

Bring a jacket if you’re sensitive to cold. The penguin area is kept cooler to recreate their natural environment, and the temperature change is noticeable after the warmer tropical zones.
