There are more reasons than ever to visit SEA LIFE and create magic memories throughout 2021! You can now visit the UK’s very first Sea otters exclusively at SEA LIFE Birmingham! Following an epic journey to the UK from Alaska, they have settled into their specially built rescue facility and the cuddly pair – Ozzy and Ola- love meeting the public! Whilst there, you can also meet a colony of Gentoo penguins in an Arctic adventure, and be wowed by the 360 degree ocean tunnel as fish, sharks and rays glide round you!
Plus, come face-to-fin with awesome sharks as they glide through the ocean tunnel at SEA LIFE Loch Lomond - set in the imposing Drumkinnon Tower - where you can also catch up with the only Cownose rays in Scotland, meet a cheeky trio of Asian Short Clawed otters and marvel at the largest collection of sharks in Scotland!
If you love sharks, you can also see them as they swim and around the Shipwreck at Manchester, where you can also spot two magnificent Green Sea turtles- Cammy and Ernie. You can also enter the Lair of the Giant Crab (if you dare!) where you can check out their Giant Japanese Spider crab, with the largest leg span of any arthropod!
If bugs and cool creepie crawlies are your thing, venture to the Rainforest Adventure that awaits at SEA LIFE Scarborough! Immerse yourself in a world of lurking lizards and curious critters. Be just centimetres away from Green Tree Pythons, and me mesmerised at the incredible colours of the Poison Arrow Dart frogs! You will also see adorable seal pups and learn about their journey from rescue to rehabilitation and release at their seal hospital.
If seals are your favourite, you’ll also be able to learn about their incredible rehabilitation journey at SEA LIFE Hunstanton, also home to a seal hospital working around the year to rescue pups!
