Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary

About this activity

Inside Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary you will find an amazing variety of animals. From a penguin beach to an otter river, simply dive in and you'll discover all about marine life!

There are a number of interactive themed zones where you'll encounter some of the world's most incredible animals. The rainforest rangers are ready to show you their jungle animals! From snakes, lizards and huge creepy crawlies, you'll be able to get up close to them. You'll be centimetres away from a royal python and inches from the leafcutter ants, see if you can spot the queen! 

It's also home to Norfolks only seal santury too. You'll be able to follow the journey of the injured seals through their rescue from coastal waters to rehabilitation and then back into the wild! They have helped over 750 seals since opening and many are young and vulnerable. 

There's also an underwater viewing area where you'll see the seals underwater. Get a closer look and make sure to go to the feeding presentations throughout the day too to learn more about them! Meet the family of Asian Short Clawed Otters too in the otter river. You'll see their secret den by a private viewing glass and watch them play and run into the diving pool! 

Inside, the ocean tunnel is home to over 30 different species and the famous Ernie who is a green seat turtle. Don't miss penguin beach either, as you'll watch the 10 penguins waddle and interact with each other. There's so much more on offer at the sealife centre and is a great family day out for anyone that wants to learn more about sea life and their habitats.
