Dive under the sea and discover over 2,000 creatures

Who'd have thought you could be transported under the sea in Manchester?

Park up at the Trafford Centre and get ready to explore the 11 mesmerising discovery zones at SEA LIFE Manchester. Become absorbed in an underwater world as you move through each dark room with only the lights from the tanks to guide your way.

See the different species up close as you walk through the small caves and immersive tank at the Rocky Hideout.

Spot your favourite fishy friends swimming around - who will be first to notice the golden pufferfish or the purple debelius reef lobster? Learn all about the personalities of these creatures by reading the helpful facts next to the tank.

Meet the jaw-some creatures at Shark Shipwreck

This section of the tour is a once-in-a-lifetime experience because you'll have the opportunity to feed the sharks. Feel the excitement as you come face-to-face with the sharks and stingrays, and smell the clean, fresh water as you lean over to pass the food to them! This close encounter will truly make your visit worthwhile.

Step into the Ocean Tunnel which gives a panoramic experience -you'll be blown away when looking at the view from the top to the bottom of the tank. Press your palms to the glass and try to catch sight of a shark swimming by. You may even spot the giant sea turtle - Ernie!

We recommend spending 1.5 - 2 hours at the aquarium to enjoy the full experience. Before you leave, round off your trip with a visit to the Lair of the Giant Crab - they can live up to 100 years old!

Fishy fun for little ones at Sea Life Trafford Centre

The kids' hearts will be pounding with excitement when they sit on the rocks at the viewing points to watch the wonderful creatures crawling nearby. The giant crabs' claws measure over 3 metres which is more than enough to stand over a Mini Cooper car! Get closer if you dare.

Little ones will also love climbing inside the 360-degree doughnut tank and making friends with the moon jellyfish. They can even press the button to change the colour of the lights in the tank.

We recommend booking your tickets early to avoid missing out on this wonderful collection of underwater sea life.
