How the day works

We will send all of your wristbands out to you before the date of your visit, allowing for a super speedy and smooth entry into the zooquarium with minimal waiting.

The Zooquarium takes about an hour to walk around and you are welcome to join any talks and feeds that occur throughout the day, if available. The amount of time you stay is up to you. Many schools visit us in the morning, take advantage of the neighbouring beach for activities and visit us again before the coach picks them up.

Risk Assessment

We conduct our own risk assessments and provide guidance for teachers. We encourage teachers to make a preview visit before bringing a group to conduct their own Risk Assessment, which we will happily provide free entry for. Further information is available on request.

Teacher preview visits

In order to make the most of your school visit we recommend that you take advantage of one of our free teacher preview visits to familiarise yourself with the exhibits and our facilities. Visit the customer services desk and notify them that you are doing a teacher preview visit to gain access to the Zooquarium and a run through of how your booking will run on the day.

(Please note: School I.D. must be shown and the teacher attending the preview visit. Limited to 1 per class. This teacher must attend on the day of your visit)

The gift Shop Area

A wide variety of gifts are available from our gift shop, with items from 60p upwards (subject to availability). Cash and card is accepted.

Access for all

The Sealife Adventure building is designed to provide access for all. Should you need a hand at any point on your visit, please ask a member of staff, recognisable by their blue uniform. The toilets are situated by the admissions and gift shop.

On the day activities

We have a range of Educational Activity Booklets in the series for you to download and use as you journey through the aquarium to discover the answers. There are 7 activity booklets in total, click the link below to download and you can use on your aquarium visit.

The Activity Series – KS1 – Identifying Animals

As you visit Sealife Adventure you will find out more about the different kinds of animals you can find here and see if you can spot the things which help them live in their natural habitat.

The Activity Series – KS2 – Nutrition and Food Chains

All living things need energy and food to live and grow. Plants can get these from sunlight and the soil, whilst animals need to eat. Some animals eat plants – and these we call herbivores. Other animals eat meat, which are called carnivores. Some animals eat both meat and plants, which we call omnivores. During your visit you will find out more about what our animals eat.

The Activity Series – KS2 – Environment in Danger

During your visit to SeaLife Adventure, you will be able to learn more about how our environment and wildlife is impacted by our actions, and some of the steps we can take to protect and support the world we live on. In this activity booklet you will be asked questions related to our environment and the challenges it can face.

The Activity Series – KS2 – Bones and Muscles

Through your trip to SeaLife Adventure, you will learn more about the importance of bones and muscles and how they work, through the questions in this activity booklet.

The Activity Series – KS3 – Habitats and Adaptions

We all live somewhere including the animals of the world. In this activity booklet we will be asking questions about where our creatures live. You will find all the answers as you journey through Sea-Life Adventure.

The Activity Series – KS3 – Evolution and Genetics

You will learn more about the importance of evolution and genetics through the questions in this activity booklet.

The Activity Series – KS3 – Life Cycles and Reproduction

A life cycle can involve an individual being born, living, having offspring and dying or it might involve several stages – for example a frog will hatch from frog spawn into a tadpole before changing into frog and laying more spawn. All life cycles are circular, with the next generation of individuals coming from the previous.

Reviews

We came for a school trip in July 2021, the trip was amazing! We were greeted by a member of staff who was fantastic with the children and went through the safety rules with them. They were also so kind to give us tickets for the children who were unable to come on the day to use at a later date. Other members of staff were also fantastic, like in the gift shop and even the security staff who helped to make sure we didn’t get in the way of the members of the public and vice versa.

There was so much to see at the zooquarium and the children loved the penguins in particular. The children have said this was the best school trip they have ever had and that they will remember it forever! We all had such a fantastic day, learnt lots and Sealife adventure made it such an easy, fun experience for the children (and staff helpers!) I would highly recommend Sealife adventure for school trips – an amazing aquarium and fantastic staff.

I hope this is ok and thanks again for a brilliant day!

I just wanted to thank you all for my class trip to Sealife today. They had a brilliant time!

There had been an oversight by me as I had not booked my class in as thought this had been done by my school office but Andrew and Hannah on your customer service desk were amazing. They were polite friendly cheerful and understanding I am truly grateful to them for helping me out and for ensuring the children all had an amazing time.

You should be very proud of your staff they are a credit to your company and certainly eased and diffused any teacher stress I was feeling. Thankyou all so much and please send my grateful thanks to them both.

We had a lovely day at Sealife. The staff were helpful and friendly and it was organised going into the centre. The children loved the animals.
