What to expect

SEA LIFE Birmingham

Once inside, you’ll follow a winding, one-way path through over 60 spectacular displays. Transition from the icy climates of the Antarctic to the vibrant heat of tropical reefs, ending with the ultimate 'walk on the ocean floor' in the tunnel.

Features:

• 360° Ocean Tunnel: The crown jewel of the aquarium allows you to watch sharks, rays, and Molokai (the giant Green Sea Turtle) swim not just above you, but right beneath your feet.

• Marine mammal rescue facility: Meet the UK’s first Alaskan sea otters, Ozzy and Ola. This world-class facility emulates their natural habitat and highlights the center's vital conservation and rescue work.

• Penguin Ice Adventure: Step into the freezing world of the Gentoo penguins. Watch their cheeky antics on the ice and their incredible speed as they dive into the crystal-clear water.

• Interactive Rockpool: A favorite for curious minds, this zone lets you get hands-on. Under the guidance of experts, you can touch a starfish or learn the texture of a sea anemone.

• Jelly Invaders: Step into a mesmerizing gallery of jellyfish. Lit by multi-colored spotlights, these 'ancient survivors' create a glowing, rhythmic display that is both calming and alien.
