What makes it 77% Couple-Friendly: Couples can stroll hand-in-hand through the shark tunnel and book adults-only SEA LIFE Lates for a drink after hours, yet narrow corridors and pushchairs may break the romantic mood at busy times.

Absolutely love this aquarium! So so many things to see, plenty of open spaces and breaks in between. Accessible for all. Staff were so lovely and heard many informational talks which were great. Had a break at the bar and it has a great view of the huge shark tank so it was amazing to just relax and watch. We got tickets in advanced, but there was no wait luckily. Made it very easy to get in thou...

The jellyfish room was stunning, like floating through a neon dream. And the shark tunnel? Ge...

Overall, it was an enjoyable outing — the kids were especially fascinated by the turtle shell presentation and loved the chance to touch it. The ray tank was another highlight, and the large aquarium with sharks and sea turtle...
