Merlin attraction

Planning more than one day out?

Sealife Centre is one of Merlin's attractions, so it is covered by the Merlin Annual Pass — along with Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington, LEGOLAND Windsor, Warwick Castle, the London Eye, the SEA LIFE centres and the Dungeons. If you are likely to visit more than one of them in a year, it is worth checking the pass before you buy single tickets.
