- Accessibility
- SEA LIFE's accessibility information says the aquarium has disabled access throughout the centre and spacious lifts that allow access to the centre area with a stroller. However, some parts of the exhibition have narrow and uneven surfaces, and the Behind the Scenes tour is not wheelchair- or stroller-accessible because of stairs. Toilets are on the same floor as the ticket counter, and an accessible toilet and baby changing facilities are at the end of the exhibition.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- Daily feedings are included in admission. The programme can include, for example, octopus feeding or enrichment, Ocean Tank feeding, ray and shark feeding, electric eel feeding, seahorses, piranhas, or the coral reef; check the day's feeding times before visiting. Last admission is one hour before closing. Day tickets are valid only on the selected visit date, and unused tickets or tickets bought for the wrong date are generally not refunded. Own snacks may be eaten only in designated spaces when they are free.
- Opening-hours notes
- Opening hours vary by date in SEA LIFE's calendar. In early June 2026, the calendar shows, for example, Monday 1.6. as open 10:00-19:00, but always check your own visit date in the calendar. Last admission is one hour before closing.
- Booking notes
- A normal visit does not require a separate time booking, but a day ticket is bought for a selected visit date. Tickets bought online can be rescheduled with the reservation number, and rescheduling costs EUR 1.
- Price notes
- A day ticket at the ticket desk costs EUR 24.50 for adults and EUR 19.50 for children aged 2-14. Online tickets start from EUR 20 for adults and EUR 15 for children on selected days. An Anytime ticket without choosing the visit date in advance costs EUR 26.50 for adults and EUR 21.50 for children.
- Age notes
- Suitable for many child ages, especially children interested in animals and aquariums.
- Seasonal notes
