Jenn PJuly 11, 2015The 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 GVOctober 13, 2015Very 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 BogarAugust 26, 2013Looks 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. :)
Chris ClementMarch 1, 2016👍 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.
Spiros ApostolopoulosDecember 28, 2018I 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.
Carl GriffinDecember 28, 2015Housed in City Hall. Excellent collection of huge tanks containg a very diverse range of sealife.
Ruth CheesleyAugust 10, 2014Great 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 MafiDecember 31, 2018If 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 🌸November 2, 2015Good place to explore! Amazing sharks too! Ps the its more interesting than you think it is! Worth it! 👌🏻
S AApril 4, 2018Beautiful selection of exotic fish from all over the world to admire and appreciate.
Steven GutierrezSeptember 29, 2013Lots 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.
- Otel.comOctober 11, 2011This 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 MonkOctober 12, 2018Good 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 StephensAugust 10, 2014Great selection of exotic sea life; bit expensive but definitely worth a visit at least once!
Manahil AleemFebruary 22, 2015Great for kids and adults alike. Try getting a combined ticket for here Tussaud's, London Dungeon and London eye. Worth every penny
Rinatsu ChanMarch 14, 2015Amazing time there. The calming music perfectly fits the atmosphere. I could spend all day here.
Chris SamsAugust 4, 2013Fantastic displays and tanks of beautiful fish. Staff are friendly and helpful. Access around with a double buggy can be a real challenge though.
Weiwei SiJune 24, 2011SeaLife 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.
Graham KnightNovember 13, 2017Close up experience with penguins and a musical soundtrack that makes the underwater life even more magical. Amazing jelly fish too!
Will BelfordSeptember 18, 2013Amazing! 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!
Felipe FragaJuly 27, 2013Ask 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.
National Maritime MuseumJuly 11, 2011A 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
Oksana MudrykAugust 24, 2018Long 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 GasimJuly 12, 2022It’s a nice destination for kids and families 👌🏻it’s better to buy a package ticket ( London eye, aquarium, Shraik )
Glen ClaytonApril 16, 2016It's a good trip for the family or just adults. Educational,informative and just plain fun!
DanSeptember 29, 2012Come during the week or early or late if you dont want to queue for a long time.
nathalieFebruary 23, 2014the 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
Drew KaplanJanuary 19, 2012If 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.
Valentina CoveyMarch 13, 2016Substandard 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.
Marco FailoniNovember 3, 2013DON'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.
Mathias CasalNovember 24, 2013Fantastic trip. Very interesting and educational. Seahorses, sharks, turtles, alligators... Incredible.
Wagner Sartori juniorAugust 18, 2014Huge aquarium next to London eye. Buy London eye + aquarium combo to get prioritary queue.
Nicolas InardApril 26, 2014Nice entertainment but does look a bit old. I'm sure you can find 50% off to make it worth it.
AnyTripMay 13, 2011We love the massive shark tank. Plus the shop is great for soft toy gifts for kids who love sea life - cuddly squid, anyone?

Will MJanuary 2, 2019Pretty 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.- Dimitris KotsiosDecember 12, 2014Buy 4 museums ticket online! It's worth it .MADAM TUSSAUDS + LONDON EYE + LONDON DUNGEON + SEA LIFE AQUARIUM!
Dan BurzynskiAugust 22, 2011I 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
Gabriela MárquezJuly 11, 2013Fun 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!
Dea R.April 4, 2013Visit http://www.visitsealife.com/London/ and buy tickets for SeaLife + LondonEye with discount (not necessary to be used at the same day).
Derryck BAugust 9, 2014Lots of fun for Little Ones but directions for lifts back to Ground Floor are poorly signed.
Jeremy GordonMay 7, 2012Book online, priority tickets in advance to avoid the massive queues. VIP family ticket is a good deal.
James VickeryApril 18, 2014If 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.
Jane StokesFebruary 17, 2013London zoo is far better value for a family day out. In and out of aquarium within 1.5 hrs and costs about the same
YOUhomeOctober 21, 2014Great location for a visit with the whole family. The see through tunnel is not to be missed.
Nin L.May 17, 2016Probably still ok for kids and less experienced out of towners, but London really could do better. This place is looking tired and in bad need of a refurb/update.
LovennaJuly 21, 2014This is the background view of the Clive Owen and Julia Roberts scene in the movie Closer.
