SEA LIFE London Aquarium: Standard Admission Tickets

About this experience

SEA LIFE London Aquarium tickets on the South Bank Book SEA LIFE London Aquarium tickets for a family friendly marine visit beside the Thames in London. The aquarium sits in the Riverside Building at County Hall, a short walk from Waterloo and Westminster stations, and takes you through 14 themed habitats with more than 500 species of marine life, from sharks, rays and turtles to penguins, jellyfish and reef fish. Choose a dated entry time, pick your option and keep your mobile voucher ready for a simple check in at the riverside entrance. Inside, underwater tunnels and floor to ceiling tanks put you close to the larger species, while quieter galleries suit younger visitors who need a slower pace. Most visitors spend around 1.5 to 2 hours on a full loop, longer if you stop for photos or wait for a feeding session. Because the whole route is indoors, it is one of the easiest rainy day plans in central London. What you will see at SEA LIFE London Aquarium The Coral Kingdom holds the UK's largest living coral reef, where you can spot clownfish and royal blue tangs among the corals. In the Polar Adventure zone, Gentoo penguins live in a chilly, glacial setting that is a favourite with children. The walk-through tunnels give a 360 degree view of sharks, rays and shoals of silver fish gliding overhead, and other tanks show octopus, turtles and jellyfish up close. Daily feeding sessions cover sharks, rays, penguins and piranhas, including Betty the bowmouth guitarfish, one of the aquarium's best known residents. Check the information boards when you arrive for the day's times so you can plan your route around the sessions you most want to see. Conservation notes along the way explain how the aquarium supports marine protection, which adds useful context for school groups and curious travellers. SEA LIFE London Aquarium ticket options The standard entry ticket gives timed admission on your chosen date, so you know exactly when to arrive. The anytime entry option lets you visit at any time on your selected day, which helps if your London plans are still moving. The Deluxe package adds a VR experience plus an exclusive mission pack or guidebook. The VR experience runs on a first come, first served basis, so expect short waits at busy times, and guests under 90 cm cannot use it for safety reasons. Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket, and infants under 2 also need a ticket. Carers of disabled guests can enter free with proper documentation, and carer tickets are only valid alongside at least one full-price ticket. The route is suitable for wheelchair users and for prams and strollers, and assistance dogs are welcome. Planning your SEA LIFE London Aquarium visit Arrive a little before your slot for security checks, and travel light: large bags and suitcases are not allowed inside. Have your voucher and a valid ID ready at the entrance. The attraction is cashless, so bring a card or phone for the gift shop. Photography is welcome for personal use, but avoid flash so the animals are not disturbed. Weekday openings are often quieter than weekends and school holidays. The aquarium shares County Hall with other big South Bank names, so it is easy to build a full riverside day. After the tanks, compare London Eye tickets for a panoramic ride above the Thames, or London Dungeon tickets for a theatrical history walk in the same building. Read the SEA LIFE London Aquarium venue guide for directions, and browse more things to do in London when you want a second stop the same day.
