Norwich Tours: The 4 Best, and Who Each Suits

1.SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth General Admission

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 517 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $21Our pick

Visit SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth with a mobile admission ticket and explore zones filled with more than 1,500 sea creatures. See Humboldt penguins, tropical fish, turtles, blacktip reef sharks, and crocodiles. The interactive Rockpool lets you touch starfish, anemones, and crabs. Plan for about 90 minutes to two hours, though some visits may be shorter.

“Overpriced dramatically, £52 for an adult and two children. The whole venue took us 30 mins to walk around, expecting this to last the afternoon at least. Shark area was closed but no mention of this on the website when paying price! Offered 50% off next visit but won’t be visiting again, much better ways to spend my cash.”
