The Sea Life Blackpool Aquarium is located north of the Blackpool Central Pier on the Blackpool Promenade. The aquarium is a showcase for more than 2,500 exotic sea creatures in 50 special displays, enabling close examination of the different species.

The exhibit, Four Corners of the World, presents four scenarios of marine wrecks taken over by sea creatures. The corners are Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. Information on local wrecks is also available, notably the wreck of Nelson's flagship HMS Foudroyant, which was grounded in a storm in 1897.

Visitors will discover Leopard eels, Dwarf Lionfish, Brittle Stars, Spider Crabs, Flashlight Fish, and beautiful Mandarin Fish. In the large ocean tank, the tunnels afford unique up-close views of denizens of the Deep, including sharks. Don't miss the Guitar Sharks or 100-year-old Giant Lobster and the Resident Octopus.

The highlights include Clownfish, Phoenix, the notorious Sea Turtle, Gary the Grouper, Sting Rays, Seahorses, Jellyfish, and Eels. The visitors can experience a night of oceanic slumber with sharks and tropical fish at Oceanic sleepovers organized by the Aquarium events team. If this is not enough, try snorkeling with sharks! Blackpool Ses Life is open seven days a week, every day from 10 AM.
