Sea Life Brighton, Brighton

Sea Life Brighton bills itself as the oldest operating aquarium in the world. It was founded as an independent aquarium in 1872 and purchased by Sea Life in 1991. The original building was designed by Eugenius Birch. It was bombed during World War I, which led to reconstruction.

Sea Life Brighton has three different areas that they call Aquarium Zones. The first of these zones is the Rainforest Adventure. Patrons will see some of the worlds largest snakes, deadliest fish and rescued terrapins.

The Day and Night Ocean Experience is the aquarium's newest attraction. It opened in May 2019 after extensive remodeling of the dolphinarium. The Day and Night Ocean Experience shows the changes in a coral reef over the course of a day. Patrons can walk through an underwater tunnel, look at bio-luminescent algae and see a large number of aquatic creatures.

The aquarium also offers a glass bottom boat experience. Those who choose to visit this zone will see giant turtles and fish swim beneath their feet. They can enjoy watching some of the 3,500 sea creatures that reside at the aquarium.
