It’s always fun for the kids at Sea Life. The place is small, but there are many interesting things to see/interact with. However don’t go during the weekend. It is so crowded that you barely have space to walk. However if you do visit during the weekend, if possible, do it without a stroller.

Imo too small and hot. Been to many aquariums and this was on the low end of my adventures. Didn't see the sea turtles which is why I went. Took 15 mins or less to go through the whole thing. Just disappointing.

Seriously not worth it these days. $29/adult and they let in 130 people every 30 minutes. The place is so packed you can hardly move around and you feel pressured to move on so you can't actually enjoy it. It's not the best aquarium in general either. You're better off going to the zoo or a pet store with a large selection of fish.

Absolute garbage. Horrible customer service. My wife accidentally purchased a ticket for the wrong day. Zero humans to talk to and zero flexibly to modify the reservation. Send an email that needs 36hrs before assistance. If this isn’t resolved they’ll see a credit card dispute and an absolutely irate customer.

I really wish they'd put money back into this place. Weve went here for the last 4-5 years and every year something is broken that used to be apart of the attraction. Last year the part where you design a fish and watch it float around the screen was not working/ out of order. This year the photos were non operational and the design a fish section was still down! There werent any crayons to color the coloring pages they had out. Minor things that added to the experience that you paid for! Are neglected. For how busy it is there's no excuse as to why these things cannot be repaired or maintained. No new attractions over the span of 4-5 years except some new shark eggs that were strapped to a chain this year. If there was anything else new, their staff should've addressed it because it goes unnoticed.
