In this Sea Life London review, we’ll round up some of the best and worst bits of visiting the world-famous aquarium on the Southbank just opposite the Houses of Parliament. Visiting Sea Life with young children can be an intense experience, but it’s also very rewarding to see how they get fascinated by marine life. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea Life London Aquarium is one of the top attractions for families visiting the South Bank<\/a> area. Close to Sea Life, you\u2019ll find several other kid-friendly spots like the London Eye<\/a> and Shrek’s Adventure, which makes it convenient to combine tickets to make the most of your day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From sharks and stingrays to penguins and sea horses, we were positively surprised by the wide range of marine life and huge aquarium tanks within the compact, mostly underground space filled with hands-on displays and interactive exhibitions. It\u2019s an engaging experience for children of all ages, from\u00a0toddlers<\/a>\u00a0to teenagers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the queues for Sea Life long?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The queues are not overwhelmingly long in comparison to other attractions in London. Visitor numbers are also limited by timed tickets, which helps even things out avoiding too much congestion. Having said this, the area outside Sea Life gets very crowded with tourists in general, and the queuing system can feel quite chaotic. Our recommendation is to keep your tickets ready when approaching the entrance to make sure you get scanned through quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Sea Life pushchair friendly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ll have no problem taking a baby or a toddler in a pushchair to Sea Life, but keep in mind that you’ll pass through several different levels, so you’ll need to take quite a few elevators on your route. The passageways are also quite narrow, so in order not to block the different trails, you’ll need to look for places to park the pushchair constantly. Finally, because of the narrow trail, our recommendation is to use a baby carrier instead of a pushchair, which will give you a lot more flexibility when experiencing the different tanks and displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
