Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at the entrance — just have your booking confirmation ready to be scanned.

What time does the aquarium close, and when is last admission?

Opening hours vary by day. Last admission is one hour before closing, so check the official SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's website before your visit.

Is the aquarium suitable for toddlers and young children?

Yes. Children under 2 enter free of charge. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult at all times.

Is the attraction wheelchair accessible?

Yes, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's is fully wheelchair-accessible throughout.

What is the Digi Photo Pass and how do I get one?

The Digi Photo Pass lets you download professional photos taken of you by the attraction's photography team during your visit. It is available as an optional add-on — ask at the venue on the day.

Can I visit at my own pace, or is it a guided tour?

Your admission ticket gives you free-roaming access to all exhibits. Expert guides are on hand at the touch pools, but the rest of the aquarium is entirely self-paced.
