SEA LIFE Blackpool
Overview
"What's your favourite sea creature? Are you a Shark lover, Seahorse fanatic or a Clownfish groupie? Perhaps it's the graceful Jellyfish or the clever Octopus that you love the most. Maybe you simply can't decide! Here at SEA LIFE Blackpool you can make up your mind and see them all - from the curious and the rescued to the rare and the enigmatic we are home to over 2,000 creatures. You'll be able to get closer to them than ever before. Many of our creatures are on the endangered list, have been rescued and cannot be released into the wild or have been born and bred as part of our conservation projects here at SEA LIFE Blackpool. All of them are beautiful."

Access guidance
- Any guests who are unable to queue for any reason should make our team members aware and will be happy to serve you separately.
- The reception desk is 1.1m high however there is a lower area to the right of the reception desk which is 0.8m high, and our team can easily reach across to offer assistance where required. Any wheelchair users are welcome to enter via the right hand (fast track) doors to be served. There are 36 steps leading to the first floor with 4 landing points every 9 steps. The lighting on the stairs is fairly dim. A lift is available which is 1.2m wide and is located behind the reception desk.
- Unfortunately we don't have onsite parking due to the location of the centre. The street at the rear of the centre (Bonny Street) can however be used as parking for blue badge holders, and there are 2 council operated car parks located less than 100m away from the main entrance.
- The entry door to the toilets is 0.84m wide and lighting in all toilet areas is good with ALCO safety flooring on a smooth level surface. The door width to the accessible toilet is 0.87m wide, with a latch lock system on the inside. When facing the WC there is a folding support rail to the left which can be easily lowered in order to assist with space to position a wheelchair and a red pull cord to the right of the toilet to be activated in case of an emergency. The accessible toilet downstairs is usually locked and the key can be obtained from the golf admissions desk.
- We welcome assistance dogs and can provide water bowls on request however assistance dogs aren't permitted to go on our Behind the Scenes tour for safety reasons.
- We do offer complimentary tickets for carers.
- The majority of our signage is in white font, with a blue background and orange trim at a low level where possible.
- We have a hearing induction loop system in place at the reception and gift shop. Hearing aid users need to switch to the 'T' mode to take advantage of this. Most videos in the centre have subtitles in order to assist guests.
