A trip to London Sea Life Aquarium

With London only being a few hours away from where I live in England, it’s such a great day trip. on my most recent trip I met up with Erin from e-elise etc in London and we went to London Sea Life Aquarium!

One of the first tanks we encountered was a Finding Nemo tank, dedicated to all the fish that we see in the movie. Dory and Nemo were there, as well as some of the other characters. Kids will love it!

As well fish, there were jellyfish, turtles and more aquatic animals, and even though there were a lot of children around the place when we went, there was enough space to have an enjoyable time, without it feeling too crowded.

A wander around the London Aquarium will take a few hours, so it’s perfect for a morning or afternoon trip. If you’re in London, or even in the UK somewhere, I highly recommend a trip, with or without kids.

Okay, and one last thing, I think my favourite creature was the jellyfish. Seriously, they look like they’re made of nothing, and yet they still exist. The lighting in the tanks changes colour, and when it does, it looks like the jellyfish change colour too.  

Have you been to the London Sea Life Aquarium, or any aquarium recently?
