VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Step into an underwater world as you enter the SEA LIFE London Aquarium. Marvel at the hundreds of different species of marine wildlife that calls this place home and learn about each one as you walk through the different exhibits.

See penguins as they would behave in their natural habitat and even come face to face with sharks, the fiercest creatures of the ocean. Be amazed at all the different sizes and colors of fish that swim in the largest aquarium in the UK. Then participate in various activities and interactions that give you a better understanding of the many underwater creatures.

On average, it will take you about two hours to enjoy all the experiences and activities inside the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, giving you plenty of leisure time to walk around on your own.
