The SEA LIFE Centre in Great Yarmouth is an aquarium where you can wander through an ocean tunnel holding 250,000 litres of seawater, watch Humboldt Penguins swim and socialise, and discover the colourful, mesmerising world of jellyfish. There's also a rock pool explorer experience and a rainforest zone full of creepy crawlies, making it a great family day out. Tickets can be booked in advance online, with entry guaranteed and free rescheduling available. Sitting just 0.3 miles from Great Yarmouth South beach and a mile from Great Yarmouth station, it's an easy stop if you're staying locally — and with 103 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it fits neatly into a seaside break.

Merlin attraction

Planning more than one day out?

The 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.
