The offer is valid for visits up to and including August 4th – meaning there’s plenty of time to organise some family fun.

SEA LIFE SCARBOROUGH

Meet Skipper, the dashing penguin who’s been waddling through life for nine years, with the help of SEA LIFE aquarist Todd German, who hand-reared Skipper himself, becoming his surrogate dad.

Partnered with Betty for three years, Skipper is now all grown up and has recently celebrated the hatching of their first chick. Weighing in at 3.3kg, this little bundle of joy is under the watchful eyes of both parents and it’s a real family affair in the penguin world, with parenting duties split right down the middle – 50/50. Come witness the cuteness overload and the heart-warming teamwork between Skipper and Betty as they raise their chick to be the coolest bird in town.

SEA LIFE WEYMOUTH

Badger, the bachelor extraordinaire, has finally found love! After a decade of solo adventures, Badger met his match in Isa. Their whirlwind romance led to the arrival of their adorable pups: Kimchi, Tofu, Sushi, and Miso!

These otter-ly adorable additions have brought laughter and joy to SEA LIFE Weymouth. Badger has taken to fatherhood like an otter to water, showing off his affectionate and protective side with pride. Join the family as they splash around in their new habitat, filled with otter enrichment activities for endless fun and frolics.

SEA LIFE MANCHESTER

Making waves on May 11th, a baby Cownose Ray has entered the scene, stealing hearts left, right, and centre! Cownose Rays live in large sociable groups and are very independent from a young age, so whilst dad won’t have too much running around to do the pup will happily thrive amongst Manchester’s family of rays .

SEA LIFE BIRMINGHAM

The team at SEA LIFE Birmingham this year welcomed a second baby blue spotted stingray into their family. The two babies were born in the main display tank and have been moved into the attraction’s quarantine area whilst the aquarists keep a close eye on their progress.

SEA LIFE HUNSTANTON

An adorable amphibian at Hunstanton has welcomed seven baby axolotls into the world this month, with the salamander breed popular with the youngsters due to their similarity to a specific Pokémon, as well as their inclusion in popular game Minecraft. The team at Hunstanton has also welcomed 100s of baby stick insects to the attraction.

Andy Turner a regional director for SEA LIFE, said: “We’re delighted to announce all our new arrivals at SEA LIFE centres nationwide. New arrivals of course mean new fathers – so we’re wishing all our SEA LIFE new dads a very happy Father’s Day.

“To celebrate their special day, we’re offering our guests free entry for one parent, meaning families can dive into a discounted day out and visit all the babies at their nearest SEA LIFE centre!”

This fin-tastic free ticket deal isn’t just an underwater affair – it extends to other Merlin attractions, including The Edinburgh and York Dungeon and LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre in Manchester and Birmingham. So, whether visitors are exploring the depths of the ocean, delving into the darkest depths of history, or diving into a world of LEGO® bricks, there’s something for all families!
