Itinerary
Start your visit to SEA LIFE Manchester by stepping into our interactive Turtle Beach experience. This unique 3D projection experience navigates you through the life of a sea turtle as you follow these incredible creatures through their life cycle from the egg to the sea! Take an adventure, deep into the world's underwater cave systems and find some of the oddest and scary looking creatures. Come face-to-face with our spiny lionfish or see the poisonous and deadly porcupine fish, better known as the pufferfish. Be enchanted by beautiful moon Jellyfish in our interactive color-changing tank. Simply choose a color and see these unique creatures from a new perspective as they float gracefully and mysteriously around the tank. Did you know that Jellyfish don't have brains, stomachs, blood, heart or eyes? Your first introduction to the fascinating story of sharks, but before you meet them you will be transported to a world of deep sea creatures that would be hidden away in a shipwreck. Try and spot our juvenile common octopus, Octopus Prime, who loves hiding in the nooks and crannies of her tank. Step under the viewing tank and see our blacktip reef sharks swim overhead! Take a stroll under the sea as you pass through our amazing glass tunnel. Shoals of glittering fish flutter along beside you whilst our enormous green sea turtle Ernie glides slowly over your head. Look out for our napoleon wrasse Bonaparte gliding by with his vibrant blue eyes and graceful fins. Watch sharks and rays gliding effortlessly through our tropical ocean tank, surrounded by hundreds of colorful ocean fish. Ernie the green sea turtle loves to come and say hello to you here and you can even see our own divers and our SeaTREK guests from here as they explore the underwater world. Step inside Stingray Bay and be mesmerized by our happy and smiley rays. Let their upbeat nature take your cares away in this relaxing and magical space. You can follow the Rays around the tank and appreciate how swiftly they move as well as seeing our blue spotted ray and Cal, our friendly rescued baby leopard shark. Have you ever wanted to stroke a starfish, tickle a sea anemone or feel the shell of a crab? Now’s your chance, because at our rocking Rockpools you can appreciate all of this! Our experts will be on hand through this unique opportunity to learn more about these fascinating micro-habitats and the incredible creatures that thrive in them. Finally, welcome to Conservation Cove, where you can find out about our Conservation efforts and our partnership with the SEA LIFE Trust. Let your little ones take part in our interactive turtle game where they can help save the baby turtles get to the sea! There's also our sandbox with mysterious dangers that you may find at the beach. Dig them out of the sand and find out!

Turtle tallk guide needed to speak louder. No cafe available, just machine food. Rock pool interaction was the best experience. Very low level entertainment over in no time- less than 90 mins
Did the sea turtle experience today and it was amazing. Kyle our tour guide was fabulous and very informative on any questions he was asked. It was lovely to get so close

Absolutely amazing we loved it worth visiting once. It was hard to get to sea life Manchester would be nice if put a navigation board near the bus stops.

We took our 7 month old for her first trip to the aquarium. We, as a family, had a brilliant time. She was able to look at all the displays and took everything in. The staff were lovely and spoke to us and acknowledged the baby. There’s a lovely play area in the middle of the experience, however she’s a bit too young so we didn’t explore that, but it looked fun! We went smack bang in the middle of the heatwave but you couldn’t tell inside as it was lovely and cool. Gift shop was stocked with a variety of things and the lady on the till there was very kind and chatty.

Visited Manchester Sea Life for the VIP Turtle Feeding experience and it did not disappoint. Seeing the turtle up close and being able to feed him was an awesome experience and well worth the money we paid to do this as a couple. The staff member taking us through our experience, Melissa, was very friendly, helpful (took loads of photos and video for us) and very happy to share her knowledge with us which was very much appreciated. It is one of the smaller Sea Life centres we have visited but there was still a good amount to see, all the staff were very friendly (alas I cannot remember the name of the lovely lady who served us coffee and a lovely chat about other zoos and highly recommended Scarborough's Sea Life to us and probably influencing our next trip!). Overall we spent a very enjoyable few hours there and would visit again.
Hi Daniel Thank you for taking the time to leave us with some feedback on recent VIP experience. I will be sure to pass your lovely words onto Melissa - we love seeing some positive feedback on these experiences! It really is an amazing thing to be so close to a sea turtle! We do hope to see you back again soon :) SeaLife Manchester
My family and I went to sea life Manchester on a day out to celebrate me finishing my degree in May and I was surprised with the feeding the turtle experience. Maya, the absolutely lovely lady she is, told us all about not just Ernie the sea turtle (who is adorable and MASSIVE by the way!) but also about all the other sea creatures in the aquarium as well!! One of my favourite places to go is the aquarium and if you’re looking to go for a day out whether you live in Manchester or not, sea life is always a must!! I definitely will try the shark tank the next time we go to make new memories!!! I can’t thank Maya enough for making this a new memory for myself, my brother and my nephew who enjoyed seeing all the types of fish there! She’s amazing!!
Hello Emmaani! Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback regarding your recent VIP experience! It really is amazing to be that close and personal with a sea turtle - and yes, Ernie is a lot bigger than you think! I will be sure to pass your lovely words on to Maya - i'm sure this will make her day! We also enjoy doing these experiences as it gives us time to properly have a chat with who we're spending time with, give all our knowledge and answer any burning questions you have! We can't wait to see you soon with your shark diving experience! Take care & see you soon! SeaLife Manchester
Really disappointed for the price. It was very tired inside. Around it very fast. A lot of hidden extras such as the VR headset and then a lady asked my son if he wanted to try kick the ball in a flimsy net to which he said yes but then said 2 pounds for a kick! Would not recommend at all, have been to much better aquariums for a fraction of the cost. The soft play area was very tired and grubby, so much so I didn't want the kids to play in it. For us, would not be recommending.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback regarding your recent visit Sorry if you felt we missed the mark here - if you do wish to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to contact us Thank you SeaLife Manchester
Lovely staff and exhibitions. Unfortunately there was a nursery school trip which meant we weren’t able to see everything and struggled to use toilet facilities. It would be better if we could be notified when booking tickets that a school trip was taking place so we could’ve chosen an alternative time
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback regarding your recent visit, I'm so glad to see you enjoyed your visit with us - some times school trips can make certain parts of the attraction a little busier, but with the no time limit on your visit, this can help We do hope to see you back again soon SeaLife Manchester
The trip was Fantastic the children enjoy it
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback regarding your recent visit - we're glad to see the kids enjoyed it! We do hope to see you back soon! SeaLife Manchester
