Kelly Tarltons Sealife

Really cool experience and definitely worth a visit. This is one of those places that can feel a bit underwhelming if you rush it, but if you slow down and actually spend time watching the animals, it’s so much more enjoyable. We took our time and ended up staying longer than expected. The penguins are honestly hilarious. I could watch them for hours. They even seem to wave at you, which makes it such a fun part of the visit. It’s very family-friendly with lots for kids, but still a great experience as an adult if you go in with the right expectations. I’ve visited multiple times over the years and will definitely keep coming back. The pricing feels fair too, especially knowing it all goes back into the animals rather than being government funded, which I really appreciate. The gift shop is also great. Had to get myself a little penguin plush which I love. Overall, really enjoyed it and would happily go back again and again.

It’s very small but they make up for it with informative talks by the experts and taking our questions and answers. The tube to see the sharks, manna rays, and fish swim above and around us was fantastic, we did it twice! The turtle and manna ray pool os perfect to enjoy a little lunch or snack time. The penguins alone were worth the trip. They seem to interact with you, got a couple of selfies and enjoyed seeing them up close and a variety would walk up to the window to check us out! Highly recommended, brief but highly educational!
