The worlds oldest aquarium, opening in 1872! The World's Oldest Aquarium! Which sea creatures do you love the most? Maybe you simply can’t decide! Did you know?
(2021)

Colourful clownfish, magical seahorse or captivating jellyfish? Here at SEA LIFE Brighton you can make up your mind and see them all, over 5,000 of them! Brighton Aquarium was conceived and designed by Eugenius Birch, the architect responsible for the West Pier. Work began in 1869 and the aquarium opened in 1872 making us the oldest continually operating aquarium in the world! Visit our beautifully restored Victorian Arcade
Our seawater tanks are fed from a large tank under the building which in turn, is fed from the nearby sea twice a day! Explore Rockpools and stroke a starfish plus many more hands-on experiences

Come and see our NEW state of the art attraction Day & Night the first of its kind in the UK. Day & Night offers guests the chance to experience the 24-hour wonder of a coral reef as it moves through the day in a 750,000-litre display. The £2.7 million refurbishment took 8 months to complete and has been wowing guests since it opened at the end of May 2019.
