SEA LIFE London Aquarium – Entry Ticket

Explore thousands of marine species at SEA LIFE London Aquarium, spread over three floors on the South Bank beside the London Eye. Home to Europe’s largest collection of global marine life, the route takes you from the depths of the Pacific to the ice of Antarctica — gliding alongside green sea turtles, waddling with Gentoo penguins and braving the Rainforest Adventure, where the piranhas’ feeding frenzy is over almost before you can blink.

The ocean tunnel is the highlight — rays gliding overhead had the children completely transfixed. Booking a time slot meant we walked straight in on a busy Saturday

Far more to see than expected across the three floors. The jellyfish zone is beautiful and the penguins were a hit. Give yourself a couple of hours to do it properly

Brilliant rainy-day option right by the London Eye. The touch pool and the talks make it genuinely interactive rather than just looking through glass
Things to Know Before Booking

What Your Ticket Includes

Entrance to SEA LIFE London Aquarium and all of its themed zones across three floors, including the daily talks, feeding displays and touch pools. It does not include entry to any other attraction, or food and drink.

Age Recommendations

Suitable for all ages and a firm family favourite. Child tickets cover ages 2–15 and adult tickets 16 and over. Children up to 15 may not enter unless accompanied by someone aged 18 or over.

Best Time to Attend

Early slots are usually the quietest, and the creatures are at their most active before the first feeds. Check the talks and feeding times when you arrive so you can plan around them.

Facilities

The aquarium sits inside County Hall on the South Bank, next to the London Eye, with a gift shop on site. No food or drink may be brought in, and re-entry is not permitted once you leave.

Accessibility

The route runs across three floors with lift access between them. If you have specific access requirements, check the venue's accessibility guide before you travel.

Why You Should Visit
The Clownfish Display
Hundreds of clownfish darting through anemones — the most photographed tank in the aquarium, and a guaranteed hit with children.
Coral Kingdom
A living coral reef alive with tangs, triggerfish and shoals of tropical colour, one of the largest displays of its kind in the UK.
Ocean Invaders
Drifting jellyfish lit in neon blues and purples — the calmest and most hypnotic room on the route.
Turtles and the Ocean Tunnel
Walk beneath rays, sharks and green sea turtles as they glide overhead through the aquarium's glass tunnel.
How Long Do You Need?

Most visitors spend around 1.5 to 2 hours here — enough for all three floors, the ocean tunnel, Coral Kingdom, Ocean Invaders, Polar Adventure and Rainforest Adventure, with time to stop at the touch pools on the way round.

Entry is by timed slot, so arrive at the time shown on your e-ticket. Opening hours vary by day, and re-entry is not permitted once you leave, so plan to see everything in one go.
