The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham attraction has so much to see. Dive in and you’ll discover the UK’s Only 360° Ocean Tunnel where you can marvel at our sharks, a giant turtle, rays and hundreds of tropical fish swimming overhead and underneath as you walk through the sea in this truly unique experience.
At this Birmingham‘s attraction, you can catch a glimpse of the UK’s First Sea Otters, Ozzy and Ola, as they settle into our Marine Mammal facility, we rescued these two Alaskan sea otters, who have now become residents in our new £multi-million marine rescue facility as part of a pioneering education and conservation project.
After their epic journey from Alaska, the pair have been settling into their new home under the watchful eye of our Otter Care Team. After their time in quarantine, the cuddly pair are now ready to meet the public!
A family fun day out in Birmingham, where you will see the cheeky antics of our feathered friends, the Gentoo penguins, as they dive beneath the freezing waters and play in their icy home. Unlike many other species of penguin more commonly seen in zoos and aquariums, such as Humboldt penguins that are found close to the equator in warm climates, Gentoo penguins are naturally found in Antarctica.
With indoor temperatures of 8 degrees Celsius, you’ll need to wrap up warm, although the playful penguins will feel right at home. Hear the unmistakable trumpeting sound of the Gentoo and learn about their quirky antics.
Touch the iced environment that the penguins call home and give your best imitations of a penguin waddle.
