With 13 different zones housing over 2,500 creatures and a real-life submarine, you are guaranteed to have an amazing day at Weymouth Sea Life. Open since 1983, Sea Life Weymouth covers five acres and has the largest man-made rockpool in the UK!

The Caribbean Cove galleon playground was so much fun, and my boys could easily have stayed there all day if it wasn’t for the amazing experience of watching a coral reef move from night to day in the ocean tunnel display.

A highlight of your day will surely be meeting the only Fairy Penguins in the whole of Europe! Yes, I said that right and they really do exist, a fact I’m sure the youngest members of the family will adore. After a huge investment, the Fairy Penguins now have a new and improved enclosure which enables you to get closer than ever before as you walk through their very special island.

On a sunny day you can take a break from your indoor exploration to have a splash around in castaway bay, an outdoor splash zone filled with fountains and a shallow pool.

Whether your favourites are sharks, sea dragons, creatures from the rainforest or those found closer to home along the coasts of the UK, this really is the most amazing place.

Keep an eye on the website for the latest information about special events, discounts and everything else you’ll need to plan your special day.
