Ready to ditch the daily grind just one month into 2024? You're not alone! To combat the post-January blues, SEA LIFE London Aquarium is offering the first 20 people who decide to visit National Sickie Day the opportunity to enjoy a day of underwater wonders absolutely free!

Numerous studies, including research from Plymouth Marjon University, have shown that spending time near water has a positive impact on mental well-being. Whether it's the calming sound of waves, the soothing colour blue, or the mesmerizing movements of marine life*, the benefits are undeniable. In fact, studies show just being in an aquarium can have significant stress-reducing effects including lowering heart rates and blood pressure, while enhancing positive mood*

National Sickie Day, observed on the first Monday in February, has gained a reputation as the day when employees across the nation decide to take a well-deserved break to reset after the challenging first month of the year.

The many blue tanks and calming exhibits at SEA LIFE London Aquarium provide the perfect aquatic oasis to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering a unique opportunity to reset and rejuvenate. 

Catherine Pritchard, General Manager at SEA LIFE London Aquarium, said: “We know how difficult it is getting back into the routine of working life in the New Year, and January can be a challenging month. However, knowing that aquariums have significant stress-reducing effects, we invite those who are in need of a reset to visit SEA LIFE London Aquarium this National Sickie Day.

Come and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of our breathtaking exhibits, encounter fascinating sea creatures, and let the underwater world transport you to a state of calm and relaxation.”
