SEA LIFE Manchester

Description

Located next to the Trafford Centre, The Sea Life Manchester Aquarium is home to thousands of sea creatures, ready for you to discover! Admire the vibrant clownfish and seahorses and watch the sharks and rays swim by in the 11 different zones.

Begin your adventure at Turtle Beach where you’ll find an interactive 3D projection experience that takes you through the life cycle of a sea turtle. Discover fascinating facts about sea turtles as you watch them swim and learn about the Breed, Rescue, Protect programme that helps support these endangered animals.

Venture into the underwater caves of Rocky Hideout where little ones can get up close to 4 different species of moray eels, purple debelius reef lobster and peacock mantis shrimp! You’ll be mesmerised by our interactive colour-changing jellyfish tank. Just choose a colour and watch it change as the jellyfish float around enchantingly!

Step inside our incredible ocean tunnel as you find yourself submerged in the wonders of the tropical seas! Meet the different sea creatures – you’ll see the white rays that always seem to be smiling, Derek – the grumpiest looking resident in the tank, and Bonaparte – a Humphead Napoleon Wrasse! You won’t miss the 7 blacktip reef sharks swimming around that are a part of Sea Life’s ongoing conservation effort to help breed this species. With plenty more marine animals swimming around, SEA LIFE Manchester makes for an unforgettable experience!
