Sea Life Brighton

About

SEA LIFE Brighton will be undertaking a planned structural maintenance programme which regrettably involves closing a small part of the attraction from 3rd September. From this time, the auditorium and ocean viewing tunnel will be closed to the general public whilst restorations are undertaken. We are looking forward to relaunching in spring 2019 with a few exciting additions and a brand new theme to look forward to as part of the new experience.

Let us take you on a fascinating journey through the original Victorian architecture of the oldest operating aquarium in the world. Based opposite the iconic pier, SEA LIFE Brighton was built in 1872 and features 3,500 mesmerising creatures including inquisitive sea turtles and magnificent sharks.

Here at SEA LIFE Brighton you can see them all - from the curious and the rescued to the rare and the enigmatic. And you’ll be able to get closer to them than ever before.

Sea Stars

Visitors to Sea Life Brighton are in for a treat as the aquarium unveils its dazzling new creature installation Sea Stars, which will open to the public on 10 February. Featuring more than 170 sensational sea dwellers from across the world, Sea Stars is the UK's largest celebration of the ocean's most visually captivating, and most important creatures, the humble 'star fish' Although the image of 'star fish' is used frequently – even featuring in the Sea Life Brighton logo – visitors should not be fooled. These creatures come in a range of different shapes, sizes and colours, and far from the traditional five-armed sea star that is easily recognizable, some can have up to 200 arms! With creatures aplenty and a range of interactive and sensory-led activities, Sea Stars will provide education as well as fun and entertainment for visitors of all ages.
