[2025 Stretford Attraction] Travel Guide for SEA LIFE Manchester (Updated Jul)

I could lie and say I booked this animal crossing sealife centre visit for my daughter but in reality I was just as excited 🤣 We are both animal crossing fans and animal lovers so this seemed like a must! We really enjoyed the event. There was plenty to do and we also got to meet 2 very famous animals crossing characters. I highly recommend buying the combined ticket which also gives access to Lego land as a great price! just to add they also offer blue light discount ❤️ Manchester - Telford centre #sealife #animalcrossing #manchester

#manchestertrip Barton Square, The Trafford Centre, Manchester M17 8AS, United Kingdom We visited SEA LIFE Manchester last summer, and it became one of our favorite memories from our trip. I went with my two kids, and they absolutely loved it—from the ocean tunnel to the hands-on rock pool experience. It’s a magical, family-friendly place full of wonder and learning. The graceful rays, sharks, and colorful fish swimming above and beside us are my kids favorite. Ticket Price: Around £20 per person (discounts available online) Rating: 5/5 #familytrip
