The Lego After Hours adults only version was fantastic, 20 pounds less than general admit and saw everything but penguins - without children and with a glass of champagne . Awesome.

Dinos GV

Very good - awesome aquarium , much bigger than I thought! Loads of fish big and small big sharks , crocodile , penguins ,etc,etc. went on a Saturday late afternoon, surprisingly short queue! Loved it!

Joe Bogar

Looks great and has lots of things to sea (pun intended :) ) but it is a bit crowded . Also, if you go to London by train , you can get in with the 2 for 1 deal that drops the price massively. :)

I love this place. Been here so many times I can’t count. The huge aquarium with the sharks and sting rays is great and I love the jelly fish tanks.

Chris Clement

???? Very interesting and wonderfull animals to discover and see. Had fun. // ???? A bit expensive though for a family trip. I know you can combine attractions but that forces you to fix your agenda.

Carl Griffin

Housed in City Hall . Excellent collection of huge tanks containg a very diverse range of sealife.

Will Belford

Amazing! Go there around midday! It won't have a big queue! It was magical experience! I felt like I was in the ocean! On your way out from the aquarium use the tornado machine! Laughed so hard!

Ruth Cheesley

Great experience, the behind the scenes tour is well worth it, knowledgeable staff who are great at explaining to kids and adults alike. Wheelchair friendly throughout.

Anita Mafi

If you like fish you may like this aquarium . Only amazing parts are sharks and penguins , to not miss penguins try to have ticket before 3 as they will sleep at 4.

????Eunice ????

Good place to explore! Amazing sharks too! Ps the its more interesting than you think it is! Worth it! ????????

This is one of the biggest aquariums in Europe that has impressive collections of more than 500 marine creatures. Don't miss the glass tunnel walkway and the Penguins Ice Adventure. Open 10am to 6pm.

Jason Monk

Good for those of you that like fish and related creatures. My only gripe was the school parties, pushing in front of you and making too much noise but that’s nothing to do with the aquarium .

Andy Stephens

Great selection of exotic sea life ; bit expensive but definitely worth a visit at least once!

Graham Knight

Close up experience with penguins and a musical soundtrack that makes the underwater life even more magical. Amazing jelly fish too!

Rinatsu Chan

Amazing time there. The calming music perfectly fits the atmosphere. I could spend all day here.

Weiwei Si

SeaLife Aquarium is much better than previous London Aquarium . Try the Afternoon Tea after aquarium at Zen China Restaurant that right above the aquarium . Delicious dimsum , quiet and nice view .

S A

Beautiful selection of exotic fish from all over the world to admire and appreciate.

Steven Gutierrez

Lots to see including sharks , penguins and turtles . Some fishy facts around the tanks help you learn stuff. No phone reception or WiFi which is a shame.

Manahil Aleem

Great for kids and adults alike. Try getting a combined ticket for here Tussaud's, London Dungeon and London eye . Worth every penny

Oksana Mudryk

Long queuing and inconvenient enter system with time on tickets. We had to wait 1,5 hour. The aquarium is not bad, but not as exciting as in Asian countries .

Sara Gasim

It’s a nice destination for kids and families ????????it’s better to buy a package ticket ( London eye , aquarium , Shraik )

Chris Sams

Fantastic displays and tanks of beautiful fish . Staff are friendly and helpful. Access around with a double buggy can be a real challenge though.

Dimitris Kotsios

Buy 4 museums ticket online! It's worth it .MADAM TUSSAUDS + LONDON EYE + LONDON DUNGEON + SEA LIFE AQUARIUM !

Glen Clayton

It's a good trip for the family or just adults. Educational,informative and just plain fun!

James Vickery

If you have got your tickets using Tesco Club Card vouchers you should be able to use the VIP Que. If they are busy they will probably "stamp" your hands and send you straight through.

Drew Kaplan

If you've been out walking a lot, there are a few places to sit, the first of which is by the tank of rays and a dark and warm place is by the Cuban Crocodile , amongst others.

Felipe Fraga

Ask what time they are going to feed the sharks and the penguins . If you're close to the time, it's worth the wait to see.

Jonathan Gibson

Well worth the money really great day out for the family

Marco Failoni

DON'T TRY THE HURRICAN SIMULATOR!!!!!!! IS A THEFT, YOU CAN JUST PUT YOUR HAIR DRYER IN YOUR FACE AT HOME!!!!!!! Acquarium nice but not incredible, better the Genova's one.

YOUhome

Great location for a visit with the whole family. The see through tunnel is not to be missed.

National Maritime Museum

A rounded-bottom Roman vessel, likely to be a 60-ton merchant ship from 300AD, was excavated here in 1910. It is thought to have been hit with a stone propelled by catapult. Find your maritime story. Read more

Valentina Covey

Substandard aquarium compared with others elsewhere (Lisbon and Sydney's are so much better). Packed, hard to move around (especially with a pushchair) at the weekend, this isn't worth the cost.

Mathias Casal

Fantastic trip. Very interesting and educational . Seahorses, sharks , turtles , alligators ... Incredible.

Wagner Sartori junior

Huge aquarium next to London eye . Buy London eye + aquarium combo to get prioritary queue.

Come during the week or early or late if you dont want to queue for a long time.

Nicolas Inard

Nice entertainment but does look a bit old. I'm sure you can find 50% off to make it worth it.

Mohammed Mohanna

We go there just for this big turtle , just amazing

Míša C

Great! Shark , jellyfish , crocodile , penguin , turtle , ray ..

nathalie

the penguins are the most depressing thing I've ever seen, it's a cute day out but not worth the money and not as great as they make it out to be

Gabriela Márquez

Fun and interesting. The only downside if you are using a stroller is the elevator to exit. It is ridiculously small, slow and inefficient. We were queuing 10 min to get in!

AnyTrip

We love the massive shark tank. Plus the shop is great for soft toy gifts for kids who love sea life - cuddly squid , anyone?

Sam W

Book priority tickets online! For an extra £3 you can skip huge queues.

Jennifer Ross

The penguins really need more space. If having a baby penguin around who can't go in the water hasn't taught them this I don't know what will.

Jeremy Gordon

Book online, priority tickets in advance to avoid the massive queues. VIP family ticket is a good deal .

Will M

Pretty disappointing, rip off Britain. Took a group of tourists here; it really is a money grab. Packed, hot, kids crying in queues, disorganised staff , claustrophobic.

Chris 

Such a great time! Loved every second of my visit here!

Dan Burzynski

I think it's really nasty/tight of them to let you jump the queue for and extra £3 per person. Shouting that across a crowd of very wet people (it was raining that day) didn't go down too well . Read more

Lion Witch Wardrobe

You can’t swim to Narnia! Head to Kensington Gardens and pick up your tickets to see The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe live on stage today!
