In the Ocean Display, get face to face with the Blacktip Reef Shark that is a species of requiem shark and belongs to the Carcharhinidae family.

Be prepared to be amazed as you come closer than ever before to astonishing colourful assortment of creatures in our Tropical Reef displays filled with Blue Regal Tangs, Clown Fish and much more.

Step out of the ocean and into the hot and humid rainforest to experience what life is like beneath the tropical treetops.

Fun at the Sealife Centre, Hunstanton - We went to the Sealife at Hunstanton last weekend and had a enjoyable time from the minute we arrived. Our friends had their son who has CP and so he was on a trike and we enquired if the was room for him on this and the staff could not have been more accommodating and said it OK to take it round with you or you can leave it in a safe area which we did, the 2 young ones loved seeing the fish and even handled a hermit crab after a little coaxing. We didn't feel rushed at any point and it really made the 2 little ones doy, we'll be back, thanks to all the staff.

Amazing day ! - Myself, my husband and a friend visited Sealife yesterday and were thrilled with our experience and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, in this tranquil world of Sea creatures and their daily lives, in perfectly organised temperatures and environment. The Seals and penguins were so cute and lovely, and loved seeing visitors and we stayed to watch them at feeding time throughout our stay there. The Turtle we saw was so beautiful and graceful and it was lovely to see him swimming about among the other fish including sharks. Some of the fish in other tanks were enormous and and the little seahorses were gorgeous ! We poarticularly liked the young girl Pauline who was very helpful and considerate to us and she is an asset to the Sealife Sanctuary !! Sincerely Mrs Jo Sparkes (and Alan Sparkes and E V Woerkom )

Lovely ambience - When you walk in the main hall it’s like entering a different world. The lighting enhances the exhibits. There is a good variety and the main tank was enthralling. Particularly liked the giant turtles and the rays. It’s not very large and would have been expensive had we paid full price. But one of the best sea life centres I have visited.

Worth a Visit - We have walked passed this place many times but this time decided to make a visit here. It was not as big as what I thought it was. All sea birds & fish looked like they are well cared for. Lots of interesting talks by the staff. Ideal visit on a rainy day.

Good points and bad points - We booked in for a rainy day. Our 4 year old loved the turtle, rays and the penguins. We felt it was expensive though as we were round in an hour. It was lovely to see there is a seal rescue there. I did wonder and hope the seals in the hospital don't get stressed while being viewed. A couple of tanks for some of the exhibits looked like the occupants would appreciate more space. The the gift shop had some nice items but just my view it would be better to not sell plastic toys in a sea life center.

Small but ok for an hour if it’s raining - Went some time in 2017 can’t change the review date. We had a two for one voucher for here and the kids were below paying age otherwise I’d have been incredibly disappointed. It’s got to be one of the smallest sea life centres I’ve been to we lasted an hour if that. It’s like they left this one out when they put all the interactive stuff in the other centres. Hope it’s improved since I’ve been.
