Entry to SEA LIFE Manchester, theTrafford Centre

Without the smell of the zoo, without the risk of a safari park, without even getting your feet wet, you can get your wildlife fix by visiting the aquarium.

And here at SEA LIFE Manchester, in the Trafford Centre, you can see some of the amazing animals on the planet under one roof. From serene sea turtles to colossal spider crabs, scary sharks to cute clownfish, they’re all here. There’s also a ring-shaped tank that houses naturally luminescent jellyfish!

Visiting the aquarium, you’ll pass through a number of zones to observe and learn about animals and their habitats in different parts of the world. You can also time your tour to coincide with feeding events and talks given by expert members of the team. In addition, there are interactive areas where you can reach out and touch some of the creatures!

This ticket gets you entry to the aquarium for a full day, but you can see the sights in anywhere from a couple of hours to a whole morning or afternoon, it depends on your pace.

Most of the venue is accessible for wheelchair users and we also reserve some time slots for “quiet” visits, designed for neurodivergent guests. Carers enter free with disabled visitors.
