The Sea Life London Aquarium is home to one of Europe's largest collections of global marine life, and you can visit without waiting on the Skip the Line tour. You will find up to 400 species of sea life, including sharks, eels, stingrays, clownfish (like Nemo!) and turtles, across 50 living displays. The Sea Life experience takes you on an interactive journey that includes supervised feeding times and optional touch pools.
Skip the Line! Book your Sea Life London Aquarium trip ahead of time to take advantage of avoiding the main queue. Don't waste time waiting in lines on vacation.
The mysterious Sea Life London Aquarium experience is spread over three floors and starts by taking a submarine-style elevator to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Next, take a walk through the stunning glass tunnel underneath a tropical ocean. There is plenty of interaction along the way, from diving displays to optional touch pools and discovery zones. Other species you can see include green turtles, seahorses, octopus, zebra sharks and the ever-popular clown fish.
The true highlight starts as you journey in the deeper, darker zone of the Pacific Ocean. Take a walk on the wild side and watch from a suspended glass platform as 10 species of shark swim beneath your feet. The exciting and diverse underwater world awaits you at Sea Life London Aquarium.
One of the most popular and dramatic displays at Sea Life London Aquarium is the revamped Shark Reef Encounter where sinister Sand Tiger sharks, Bow Mouths, Black Tips and Grey Reefs are (with a shoal of less menacing fish to keep them company!).
My husband took our daughters to go and see the Harry Potter show all the way from South Africa....and obviously the show was all they could wish for...so much so that they did not expect much from the trip to the aquarium mom booked for them...and were they surprised, what an experience! They really enjoyed it!

This was a nice thing to do that we hadn't yet done in London - I have seen better aquariums. The highlight for me was walking on glass over the shark tank and crouching down to look below the water line at the penguins dashing through it. A warning though - if, like me, you get a bit overwhelmed by children, then maybe try avoid the aquarium. Having said that, I think we went during school holidays. Its clearly a great thing to do as a family! Also, skipping the line was worth it.

The Aquarium was beautiful! We loved the exhibits! Sharks, rays, penguins, jellyfish - everything was so beautiful, and so informative. We could have stayed there all day watching the fish swim around. It's so peaceful!

Very expensive for what it is. We have been to other sea life centres with just as much exhibited for half the price. Saying that,they are not in the centre of London

Went with wife and 2yr old. Queues were short on non school holiday, so the skip the line tickets only saved 5 mins. Staff moved people into right queues. _br/_ A bit cramped to start with but the crowd thinned out, we enjoyed most of the areas, penguins were too cramped, but main tank was the highlight.

It was ok, nothing bad, could've been better. The aquarium to me was small and not a lot of animals in it.

This was not what we expected. Fish were pretty. My 12 year old granddaughter thought it boring.

No line, fun for the family!
Review by: Natasha S, August 2016
It is a lovely experience. When we visited the aquarium skip the line was not necessary as there were no queues to skip. We would not have waited had we paid for the tickets there and then.

Great tour, well worth upgrading to the skip the line and behind the scenes tour.

Absolutely loved it - Recommended for family with kids. There was no queue to skip on the day when we visited. Good value for money
Review by: Jo-Ann E, September 2015
Great fun experience! Loved the sea life especialy the penguins, sharks and sea turtles. Appreciated the posters with fun informational facts about the sea life. Recommend for kids and kids at heart! only hiccup was finding the line for the express pass, but the regular ticket line wasn't too bad and we didnte have to wait too long.

We enjou ou trip in London, the sealife aquarium was OK but We were attempting an overstanding visit. We're a litte disapointed, We expected much more. _br/_
Good visit but notre prioritary to do in London.
Review by: Leonard A, January 2015
We had a very good time as a family at Sea Life. However, I could not give it 5 stars as there is building work going on (to make it a even better experience I guess) and I thought the at counter price excessive. By using you we paid a more reflective price related to the experience

Review by: Naiomi G, August 2014
I guess we're not fish people? We found ourselves hurrying through, and we didn't enjoy much of it. The crowds didn't give you much opportunity to enjoy the animals, and the kids were especially painful (the narrow walkways make other people's prams a real nuisance). Don't expect anything spectacular--the "star attractions", the penguins, are confined to a pretty small enclosure, where they don't seem to be enjoying themselves. If you're fascinated by marine biology, you might find something to like here, but it definitely wasn't for us. The Skip the Line tickets at least let us avoid the long queues.
Review by: A U P, September 2013
The behind the scenes tour is a must. Gives much insight into what one sees out front. The aquarium is lovely, but it was sooo busy, that one could not really enjoy the time there to its fullest.
Review by: Emma N, July 2013
No lines, no crowds that day so the visit was fun. My daughter loved the ice wall!
Review by: Brian M, July 2013
WOULD NOT GO AGAIN. TERRIBLE
Review by: Mina, June 2013
Had high expectations of this aquarium, was slightly disappointed as it wasn't as big as I thought. For me the best part of this tour (besides skipping the line, of course) was most definitely the penguins! My boyfriend enjoyed seeing the many giant turtles they had - was a lovely experience overall.
Review by: M R A, June 2013
More than highly recommended , if u r looking for an enjoyable place go to sea live with trusted skip the line aviator booking

Review by: Anne B, March 2013
This is a very well organised attraction. I would unhesitatingly recommend it.
Review by: Joelle T, September 2012
I was a bit doubtful about this tour, as I see zoos and parks or aquariums as prisons for animals, but actually not. i have realized that they take care of these animals as precious being! I really loved the aquarium. i recommend it for people who like to be (sort of ) close to wildlife. You will not be disappointed.I recommend this tour.
Review by: ME IMBRAILO I, August 2012
Great tour, but you really don't have to pre-book as people that were queuing got in faster than we did!
Review by: CHERRY JANE M, July 2012
It was well worth opting for the skip the line, despite arriving fairly early the queues were forming and would have meant a considerable wait.
Review by: Mary L, July 2012
My 3 granddaughters (14, 16, 16) so enjoyed this experience and also the behind the scenes tour where you learn of the care given to damaged or sick creatures.
Review by: Marielle M, July 2012
Fantastic. Me and my two children thoroughly enjoyed our day, wow the sharks!! Very easy to get to....deff recommend.
Review by: David T, April 2012
If you like sea life then this is for you. The "Behind the Scenes" tour is to be recommended. The tour guide was very informative. Great place to visit.

The exhibition in London Aquarium was great, the acquisition of the ticket via internet was super easy.

Very poor considering this is our Capital Aquarium. I paid extra for no queues but there wasn't one.
Review by: Charlene I, November 2011
enjoyed my visit at the sea life aquarium and enjoyed it much more with the advanced tickets cause the queue was long
