2. Promotional Offers; follow our round-up of promotional vouchers, discounted tickets & even free ticket offers within SEA LIFE Deals.  Look out any excluded dates and worth noting that promotional vouchers cannot be used for secondary attractions, (such as SEA LIFE attractions located within Alton Towers or Chessington World of Adventures).

4. Voucher holders; it is recommended that customers with promotional vouchers should redeem and pre-book tickets in advance to guarantee entry.  Follow our step by step guide to help you take advantage of this offer over at How To Redeem SEA LIFE Promotional Vouchers.

SEA LIFE; Tips & Tricks

6. Early Bird; for a quieter experience during peak times, it’s always best to arrive early to avoid the queues.  Worth checking out the opening times on the day of your visit & plan accordingly.  If you can arrive before the setting opens for the day, you’ll be rewarded with a less crowded trip.

7. Passholders; often passholders can make use of  separate Fastrack entry points too so worth double checking the arrangements at your local SEA LIFE.  There are now differing Merlin Passes in place so worth being aware of the range of restrictions on use for each pass.  All passholders should pre-book in advance to ensure entry into the attraction.

8. Quirky Deals; follow our roundup of Unusual SEA LIFE Deals & Promotions that includes canal cleans that come with free entry offer!

9. The Weather Factor; visitor numbers at indoor attractions are particularly weather dependent so you’ll not be the only one considering a trip to SEA LIFE on a wet day.  If you are planning to visit during peak times/school holidays why not buck the trend and visit a on sunny day.

10. Food & Drink; whilst many SEA LIFE Centres do not have a café on site, and whilst previously picnics were welcome, this isn’t always the case now so worth checking with your local SEA LIFE before you set out.

SEA LIFE; Top Tips

11. Quench That Thirst; pack some drinks for the children as it can get quite warm due to temperature controls in place for the marine life.

12. What’s On; keep an eye out for events/feeding times that are taking place on the day of your visit as a great free add-on to your day.

13. Feeding Experiences; enhance your visit with a VIP SEA LIFE Feeding/Diving Experience that can include getting up close & personal with penguins, turtles and even sharks!   Worth checking if this is running on your visit and book online in advance to avoid disappointment.

14. Return Visits; if capacity allows a number of SEA LIFE attractions will let come & go throughout the day for those that would like to combine a trip with a spot of shopping/meal out, (some exclusions apply).  Ensure your hand is stamped before you leave & check whether it’s possible to use the gift shop as a means of re-entry.

16. Value For Money; at many of the settings you can make your way around as many times as you wish on the day of your visit.  Time a second trip to coincide with feeding times or another visit to the 4D cinema, (attractions vary at each SEA LIFE).
