Many of the exhibits have been donated by local fishermen who have caught the fish in their nets. A very interesting place to visit for young and old. Good parking nearby. My only complaint is that it is fairly expensive to get in but you can spend quite a long time looking around.

Visited this aquarium on a Tuesday back in May 2019 with my boyfriend and I've got to say the…read morelocation is beautiful! Its located on the sea side of Hastings. The admission price is such a good deal! Standard price at the door is £10.75 (around $13) and if you buy your tickets online it's only £8.60 ( around $11) For kids (Aged 3-12) (Must be accompanied by an adult) £8.25 (around $10) at the door and £6.60 (around $8) online. The aquarium itself is not very large but when we went it was not crowded at all. This place is definitely a hidden gem! There are so many sea life exhibits to see such as seahorses, sharks, jellyfish, and even reptiles like frogs, chameleons, a python and even a bearded dragon! There is a cool underwater tunnel where you can see reef sharks, stingrays, and colorful fish swimming over and all around. The staff there were also so helpful and friendly! The aquarium is open everyday except Christmas Day from 10 am to 5 pm. There is also parking located right in front of the aquarium where you can pay for parking. I definitely recommend coming to this aquarium. It was so much fun walking around exploring and enjoy my day! 5/5 stars very impressed!

There are also interactive computers with games such as, matching fishy pairs, for the children to play. The talks that the staff do are interesting and well worth pausing your visit for.

€80 for two adults and a 5 year old. Our visit was meant to be a birthday treat but turned into an…read moreescape room experience. We queued for 90 minutes for two different car parks so we were late arriving. There were massive queues to get in but that was just the appetiser! Once inside the overcrowding was insane. I would say we were herded in like cattle but there are probably stricter rules for how many cattle you can cram into and enclosed space. Seemingly no such rules for humans in Nausicaa! There were so many people that you couldn't really move or see anything. A maze of dark corridors, stiflingly hot, airless and claustrophobic. Massive queues for food and toilets. I felt sorry for anyone with pushchairs or wheelchairs as it is not suitable eg queues of 30 people with buggy's for the few lifts. People were having to eat their lunch on the floor. You can't get near a lot of the exhibits due to overcrowding. No customers looked happy and mostly people just looked stressed. In the end, after 40 minutes we decided to leave but it took us another 20 minutes to find our way out through the dark maze of poorly signed corridors. It was a huge relief to get outside which says a lot about the place. We would never return and my advice would be to spend your money elsewhere. if you have a wheelchair or buggy don't go here. I lost count of how many poor parents I saw having to carry buggies up and down stairs. Not only was our visit unpleasant and expensive I also feel the overcrowding is unsafe. I hate to think what would happen if there was an emergency. NEVER AGAIN! No doubt they will churn out the usual response of come at 9.30am or 4pm. They need to do something to reduce or control the number of people in the building before someone gets hurt.

I was excited to visit this aquarium on my recent trip to Brighton as they advertise themselves as…read morethe world's oldest aquarium. When I arrived at the ticketing office, I was told that one of the tanks would be closed for refurbishment. However, they didn't stress that it wasn't just one small tank, but an entire section of the aquarium. With such a large section of the aquarium closed, it was an absolute waste of £20. While the architecture is pretty, Sea Life is way overpriced for what you see. With the refurb going on, the flow of the place was messed up and the signs directing you where to go were not clear. I am hoping that I accidentally missed a section, because otherwise I paid £20 to see 2 rooms of fish. The only time I ran into staff members was in the ticketing office and gift shop, so there wasn't anyone I could have asked for directions. This place might be worth the pricey ticket after the refurbishment is complete, but until then I would skip SeaLife in favor of some of the other attractions in Brighton.

Hemsley is a new conservation zoo that has just started up in Kent so at present there is not many…read moreanimals and the whole area is very small. However don't let this put you off as I highly recommend to anyone to visit as the way they have laid out their small zoo is so unique and quaint. I love the way it looks like you are in some sort of African village with its huts. Each hut contains a different animal and some animals you can't even see at other zoos in England due to it being so unique for example they have two male tree porcupines and two kinkajous (and one which loves going out in the day which they don't usually). They also have many experiences feeding meercats, feeding the tree porcupine, feeding the kinkajou, feeding lemurs and interacting with reptiles with many others to be added. You can either buy before your visit or you can buy on day (at a cheaper rate if they have a time slot available for the animal you wish to do a experience with). I done the tree porcupine and I highly recommend to anyone to do it they are so unique and different to any other porcupine / hedgehog. Also these are the only tree porcupines in the whole of England. You can also do on day feed the Lorikeets for £1 a pot ask at front desk. However if feeding animals is not your thing you can adopt a animal instead. All money raised helps the young team of people that run the conservation in being a big part in the ongoing battle to protect and save threatened animals and their habitats. They are looking to expand in the next couple of years with many new endangered animals / species to join them. Some future animals on the list to joint hem is the wolf, wild cats and bear cat. The staff are very knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak to especially James who was so interesting and knew everything about the animals on site. I highly recommend anyone that loves animals to go along and see the animals and Hemsley.
