SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth Reviews Summary

Animal Interactions

Pros:

• "We were able to hold a stick insect and touch a starfish."
• "They have animal talks, we missed the penguin talk and feed but they had this new ranger station section where they got out invertebrates for you to hold which was my favourite part for me and the kids."
• "Both my children were offered to hold stick insects, watch the archer fish and touch a star fish."
• "Noah the Green Turtle is the best of the lot as he swims majestically around his tank and is friendly and interactive with visitors."

Cons:

• "The lone large sea turtle looked very distressed and unhappy, almost looked cramped in its enclosure."
• "Beautiful creatures but sometimes it felt like they were in a too small space, especially octopus."
• "A couple of tanks seemed very over crowded."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "Staff are all very friendly and helpful."
• "The staff were very friendly and great with the children."
• "The staff however were lovely."
• "Staff were very knowledgeable when giving talks, and all were friendly."
• "The staff were so helpful and friendly."
• "Staff were friendly, helpful and informative."
• "All the staff that we interacted with was extremely polite and friendly with the kids."

Cons:

• "£40! For 2 adults and quite rude staff at the time."
• "The restaurant girl could have been more forthcoming with conversation however."
• "The staff were very friendly but not the the shop staff."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Tickets were purchased online at £10 each during the Black Friday Sale (November)."
• "Used our tesco vouchers to pre-book tickets and saved money!"
• "You can get very good deals out of term time with big discounts on tickets!!"
• "Well worth the money if you book a couple days prior to visit, 40% off. 20% if you buy tickets online same day."
• "Use your Tesco club card points for money off the entry fee."

Cons:

• "Would be 5 stars but the price is too high for what it is."
• "Overall its not a bad experience and the staff are nice but it's one hour of entertainment for £75 which is a complete rip off so I'd not recommend it."
• "It was a little on the pricey side for a relatively short experience."
• "Hellishly overpriced...£75 for two adults and a child."
• "I would say it is really expensive (even pre booking was about £70 for a family of 4) so we wouldn't go again."
• "Very much overpriced so always make sure you buy half price tickets with Carex or Kellogg's to get a more reasonable price for what you get."
• "Totally overpriced but was a great vist the coffee shop had small playarea which was fun coffee shop reasonably priced."

Facilities and Accessibility

Pros:

• "Wheel chair, mobility scooter friendly."
• "Using a large electric wheelchair was easy with access to all areas."
• "Disabled access was really good here even for a mobility scooter user."
• "There is plenty of car parking facilities very close to the venue."
• "Parking nearby can be expensive, but we found a space across the road in the Assembly rooms £8 for the day."

Cons:

• "It's a bit cramped in places which makes it a bit awkward when there's quite a few people there."
• "Parking is limited - there are spaces on the road out front but it gets very busy, it would benefit from its own car park."
• "The only downside is the place is now cashless."
• "The VR experience is not wheelchair accessible unless you can get off your wheelchair to seat in those 'VR Seats'."
• "Trying to get around with our twins in a double buggy was very difficult but I'm not sure there's much the venue can do about that."
