Know Before You Go

Following a change in Government guidance, face coverings will no longer be required to visit.

Yes, if an employee has symptoms, or tests positive, they either work from home (if possible) or take sick leave for at least the recommended 5 days. We will continue to make LFT kits available, at our UK attractions or corporate sites, until current stocks are depleted. At Merlin Entertainments our guests and staff safety remain of paramount importance; and we’ll therefore continue to monitor and review this situation.

We are now cashless and only accept card payments throughout the attraction.

Sea Life Birminghaml welcomes everyone from all age groups. Adult tickets apply to individuals aged 16 and over, while child tickets are for children aged 3 to 15. Children aged 2* or under can visit for free but must be booked in (free of charge).

For guests aged 15 or under, an accompanying adult (18 or over) is required. 

*Starting from February 2024, children under 2 enjoy free entry. This replaces previous policies

It is easy to revalidate your ticket to visit on a later date. You can change your ticket date via our booking portal, details of which you can find on your e-ticket.

Whilst legal restrictions have been lifted, we want to ensure we can offer you the best possible guest experience and we will continue to have reduced capacity at our attraction. This means that you will need to book into a time slot ahead of your visit. As spaces are limited, we strongly suggest you reserve tickets early for your preferred date and time. Please do not visit without a ticket and book your tickets online to guarantee entry.

Anyone wishing to visit, including promotional ticket holders, will need to pre-book a timed-entry ticket in advance before you visit our attraction.

This includes vouchers from one of our fin-tastic partners such as Kelloggs, Cadburys or Costa Coffee.

For any discount vouchers that states it cannot be used for online booking, this is no longer the case - all discount vouchers can and must now be used online.
