Important Information...
Here you will find all the information needed to book your trip to SEA LIFE Manchester, including free teacher ratios, 1:1 career tickets, and planning tickets.
| Student Age | Ratios |
| Preschool/Nursery (1-4 Years Old) | 1 Free Teacher/Assistant to 3 Preschool/Nursery students |
| Primary (5-11 Years Old) | 1 Free Teacher/Assistant to 5 Primary students |
| Secondary/College (11-18 Years Old) | 1 Free Teacher/Assistant to 10 Secondary/College Students |
When you make a booking, our team will assess the number of free teachers tickets based on the total student count. For instance, if there are 30 primary students, you will be allocated 6 free teachers or assistants tickets.
For any teachers exceeding this ratio, we provide a discounted entry fee of £7.50 during off-peak times and £15.05 during peak times for each additional teacher or adult.
If a child needs 1:1 support, we’ll exclude that child from the total guest count and calculate the free teacher ratio based on the remaining students. For example, if there are 21 primary students and 1 child requires 1:1 support, we will provide one carer and allocate 4 free teachers based on the 1:5 ratio for the remaining 20 students. Therefore, the total would be 21 students, 1 carer, and 4 free teachers.
Students requiring 1:1 support can receive complimentary tickets for their carers. When booking through our booking form, simply request the number of carer tickets needed, and our team will include them in your booking. If booking online, carer tickets must be reserved by contacting the team via this number 0161 629 2042. Please ensure carers bring a school letterheaded document signed by the Headmaster/Mistress stating how many children in the group require 1:1 support.
We recognize how crucial health and safety is, as well as the value of planning ahead for your visit. To assist in your preparations, we’re pleased to offer complimentary planning tickets for two teachers from your group. When making your reservations, please select the option for planning tickets. If you choose to book online, simply reach out to our team at 0161 6292 042.
When you arrive at the attraction for your planning visit, simply present your tickets to the admission team, along with your teacher ID to validate your tickets.
Please note that you can only book the planning tickets Mon - Fri during term time and the planning tickets are only valid for the specific date and time booked, and they cannot be transferred to another individual.
