Sealife Centre (Scarborough)

There were 5 in our party 3 adults and 2 under 2's, we got our tickets from the haven site we were staying on as it was only £7.50 per adult and under 2's free. We found it to be awkward to find as we got to scarborough and couldnt see any signs anywhere, we ended up asking a bus driver where it was. When we got there it was very busy but it was August, and i'm not sure that the kids actually saw much as it was very crowded and they were in pushchairs. The site isn't very wheelchair/pushchair friendly as we made it around to the seals and it was either go down lots of steps or try and backtrack through the crowds and possibly miss things ...  Read the complete review

Sealife centres are educational resource centres with a wide range of aquatic creatures from the sea (usually the sea that is nearest the centre). They are part of the Merlin entertainment group. You can learn about the various creatures and even hold them at some centres. At Scarborough they have talks or fish feeds every hour or so covering the various animals. The Sealife centre in Scarborough is ideally located on the beach towards the North Shore. There is plenty of parking but beware - its not free, park up the bank instead it won't cost you a thing. As you enter you will see the gift shop, cafe and till at which you pay. Tesco and ...  Read the complete review

Scarborough Sea Life Centre is well worth a visit - we had a 2 for 1 offer from Tesco's and I have recently seen a similar offer on a particular brand of tea bags. I often seen voucher of a similar nature in The Mirror Newspaper and have seen The Sun advertising vouchers of this nature too. Price: It costs £12.95 per adult, £11.95 for concessions, under 5''s go free, and children have a cheaper rate, which I do not remember as it wasn't applicable to our group. (Prices were for October 2008). Parking: We had to pay for 3 hours parking, which was about £3.50. I found this to be quite high, if you only planned to stay at the centre for a ...  Read the complete review

~How to Find It~ The Sea Life centre is located at Scalby Mills in Scarborough and can be found by following the signs for North Bay Leisure Parks or Sea Life. There's plentiful parking outside, with a pay and display car park which overlooks the seafront. This cost us £3 for four hours. It's a good place to visit whatever the weather, as it is mostly indoors. There are outdoor areas with picnic benches, where you can visit the otters, seals and penguins, which can be avoided if it's a rainy day. ~Prices~ It's open daily from 10 am to 4.30pm, with last admissions at 3.30. Admission prices at the gate are £14.00 for adults, £10.00 for ...  Read the complete review
