Your SEA LIFE London Aquarium adventure will start with an incredible shark walk where you will walk over a glass window that showcases the magnificent Pacific display. Here, you will see sharks swimming by right underneath your feet!
Dive deep into the world’s coastlines and discover its mysterious inhabitants. The secrets of the underwater world will be revealed to you as you walk along this zone. You’ll also meet sand eels, octopus, sharks, clownfish, and more.
Next on the list is the Ray Lagoon, home to magnificent Rays. You will observe these beautiful creatures from above as they glide around you in all their glory. If you are lucky, you might even spot one or two eggs hidden in the sand!
