I bought my husband and I a seal swim for our anniversary. We absolutely loved it. The staff were awesome, so friendly and happy to have a chat. Would definitely recommend SEA LIFE and the seal experience.
What an absolutely amazing day out. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We actually did the seal experience as well and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. We will definitely be returning here.
Absolutely brilliant. Very happy to bring my kids back here to have the same experiences that I did at their age. First time I've done the Seal Encounter and what an experience! Teiko the sea lion was a pleasure to have a photo with.
