- DSDebbie Smilestoday5.0This sea life centre had so much more than I was expecting. The seals were amazing, and just watching the jellyfish is such a relaxing and calming experience. Very interesting and educational experience.
- AAAaron Abbott1 day ago5.0Amazing place! Everything from the penguins, the sharks, the seals, the indoor rainforest. Truly and amazing place. We even got to see the seals having there feed time and the penguins.
- YLYvette Lovis5 days ago5.0Great place to enjoy a smaller aquarium with the children then to hop on the miniature railway to the gardens in Scarborough
- FAf aOct 7, 20265.0We really enjoyed our visit, fabulous day out and was great seeing the animals ( especially the seals and penguins !) . All the staff were very friendly and a credit to Sealife too !
- TGTim GraySep 22, 20262.0Enjoyed the place, the animals, the staff, etc. Didn't enjoy the dynamic pricing/price gouging "due to ticket availability". I'm buying a ticket to see sealife not a plane ticket. I don't expect to have to pay more than the rest of my friends because there are less tickets available when I book mine (5 minutes after everyone else) and it's not like the place was at capacity either to justify the higher price. Very disappointed. Feed this back to the management.
