If you are looking to make a future booking, or have an existing booking please see instructions and clarifications below which may answer some of your more immediate questions:

SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth welcomes everyone from all age groups. Adult tickets apply to individuals aged 16 and over, while child tickets are for children aged 4 to 15. Children aged 3* or under can visit for free but must be booked in (free of charge).

For guests aged 15 or under, an accompanying adult (18 or over) is required.

*Effective from February 2024 onwards, children under 2 will enjoy free entry. This replaces previous policies.

Whilst legal restrictions have been lifted, we want to ensure we can offer you the best possible guest experience and we will continue to have reduced capacity at our attraction. This means that you will need to book into a time slot ahead of your visit. As spaces are limited, we strongly suggest you reserve tickets early for your preferred date and time. Please do not visit without a ticket and book your tickets online to guarantee entry.
