Learn with SEA LIFE!

We have something fun and inspirational for all ages!

In addition to our amazing aquarium experience, we work closely with schools to develop information that engages and inspires young people. Self-directed visits as well as curriculum-linked classroom sessions and even sleepovers are available for schools, and we give daily creature presentations for groups to watch and enjoy as well.

From Turtle Rescue to our famous Shark Tunnel to ‘Amazing Creations’ where your students drawing come to life, we allow students (and teachers alike!) to dive deeper into the underwater world of the marine creatures they meet throughout their visit. Throughout the year, we host a program of fun educational events, like Plastic Free July and Sea Week, to raise awareness of marine conservation issues.
