SEA LIFE Sanctuaries

Every year dozens of grey and common seal pups born around the UK coastline end up separated from their mothers, either through unwitting human interference or as a result of stormy weather.

The Sanctuaries provide these unlucky youngsters with a lifeline, rescuing them, caring for them and eventually returning them to the wild.

Visitors enjoy a privileged view of this valuable work in action, learning much about the extraordinary lives of these endearing sea mammals in the process.

All three will also be inviting visitors from Easter onwards, to have a go at seal feeding and other care activities themselves, albeit with a plastic seal that doesn’t bite!

All three Sanctuaries also have a great deal more to see. Those at Hunstanton and Oban feature a wide range of marine life displays, and all three boast spacious otter enclosures…plus much, much more.

New attractions coming to SEA LIFE Centres and Sanctuaries this Easter

There will even be a chance to have a go at feeding a seal, or maybe taking it’s temperature. Luckily for those involved, however, their patients will be made of rubber…and not several kilograms of spitting, growling and biting fur and blubber.

The National SEA LIFE Centre in Birmingham is to open a nerve-shredding Amazon Attacks feature, highlighting among others, the razor-toothed piranha and the poison dart frog.

Predators are the focus of a new ‘terror trail’ around the popular Loch Lomond Aquarium; while in Blackpool a line-up octopuses and their cousins the cuttlefish and prehistoric nautilus will be unveiled in Suckers. Image Giant octopus (Suckers)

Great Yarmouth welcomes Jellies, a collection of weird and beautiful jellyfish from around the globe while Brighton unveils a unique Amazon-themed mirror maze attraction.Image Jellyfish (Jellies – Great Yarmouth).

Weymouth will already have the first of a collection of exciting new rides in a new children’s fun area called Adventure Island, and entirely new will be the spectacular Chessington SEA LIFE centre, in the heart of the Chessington World of Adventures' famous zoo.
