When to Get There
SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth is open daily (except December 25 and 26) from morning until early evening. During weekends and holiday periods, there may be a wait to enter the aquarium, and you may have to wait outside. The attraction is busiest between 11am and 3pm, so aim to visit outside these times, or prebook tickets to avoid having to wait.
SEA LIFE Feedings
In addition to the usual daily demonstrations, SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth offers premium (and individually ticketed) feeding events, which include feeding blacktip reef sharks and Noah, the resident green sea turtle. Available to visitors aged 12 and over, these experiences are accompanied by an aquarist who provides information about the creatures’ diets and habitats.
