SEA LIFE Manchester; Tips & Tricks

Avoid the bottlenecks; one quick tip as you enter SEA LIFE Manchester  is to bypass the Turtle Beach Show by taking the doorway signposted School Room.  This access point takes you directly through to the main area allowing you to bypass the queues that often build at this point. You always have the option to return to the show later should you wish that is primarily aimed at younger visitors.

Say Cheese? No Thanks! Avoid the inevitable photo opportunity as you first enter the setting. Not many people realise that can take your own photos throughout the attraction as long as you turn off the flash.

Food & Drink; worth noting that there is no cafe on site at SEA Life Manchester although you will find a number of vending machines available. On less busy days at the setting, why not take advantage of the limited seating within the soft play area to enjoy your own picnic & keep the costs down.

Adult & Toddler Tickets; another great way for young families to save money is to take advantage of the Adult & Toddler Ticket that runs at selected times of the year.  This offers discounted entry for 1 adult & 1 child, (3-5 years), and remember children under 2 years are FREE too. More information available at SEA LIFE Manchester Adult & Toddler Tickets.

Additional entrance; if you plan to combine a visit with a spot of shopping or a trip next door to the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre then ensure your hand is stamped as you enter the setting.  This gives you the option of returning via the gift shop rather than the main entrance to bypass the queues at the main entrance.
