SEA LIFE London Aquarium

Attraction Information

Enjoy one of London's premiere attractions, the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, and get as close to the ocean blue as possible while in London.

Crocodiles, piranhas, a family of poison arrow frogs and a host of exotic aquatic creatures make their homes at the Rainforests of the World area at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium.

Rainforests of the World provides a rare glimpse into the vulnerable eco-systems of Malaysia, West Africa and South America. In an immersive journey across three continents guests will get up close and personal with some of the rainforests' most famous and feared residents. A pair of 6 ft West African dwarf crocodiles will be just snapping distance away in a specially created wetland habitat mirroring their African home. The family of highly toxic poison arrow frogs will provide a kaleidoscope of colour, but watch out for the alluring golden dart frog, the most lethal of them all. Continuing the small but deadly theme is one of Europe's biggest collections of piranha, famed for their flesh-eating frenzies.

The new experience is the latest development in the rejuvenation of the attraction has been transformed into the spectacular SEA LIFE London Aquarium.
