About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- jktrock0 contributionsSMALL!!As cute as the exhibits are, the place is insanely small for the admission price!!!! I read other reviews that stated that aquarium was small but was still shocked when we were done in 35 minutes!!!!! We had 4 kids with us, 5, 7 and 2 10 year olds. Even with hands on experiences the aquarium offers, it’s a very quick stroll. Don’t get me wrong, nice exhibits to look at, kids had a blast touching a star fish and a shrimp, but the aquarium is just too small for what they charge in admission. We spent more time ordering and waiting for our food at their cafe 🤦♀️Written 19 October 2023
- jnjoom0 contributionsGood but expensivevisit but very expensive for what they offer , the place is very small with few small pools holding some kinds of sea animals , too much payment for such a place at least 1/ 3 third the price i could go againWritten 8 July 2019
- Stay3255190 contributionsColorful aquatic speciesIt’s an ok aquarium and you can spend some 2 hours or so here... however felt it is was way too small, have been to much bigger and better ones.Written 1 June 2019
- jawag280 contributionsYour toddler will enjoy this place.My toddler had fun looking around the aquarium for beautiful fishes! There were some really colorful sea creatures that my toddler enjoyed. This was his first visit but he enjoyed it a lot!Written 20 April 2019
- mayuran16110 contributionsNot bad but the entrance 😳💶I was with my wife and kid on Saturday, we spent like couple of hours over there,it was pretty good and fortunately we had an ADAC membership card😉Written 3 March 2019
- Seza_Neva0 contributionsNot again!To give my children more information about the environment, i always try to use the possibilities and bring them all to the places where animals are. But after i visited sealife speyer and Ochsenhausen i made the decision not to visit such centers, because they are very tiny for all the sorts of fishes. They should get more space, or the centers should be shut down.Written 4 April 2018
- Julius P0 contributionsOk for 2 hoursIt is really small, we expected to be bigger. Even if you stay at each aquarium longer still 2 hours is more then enough. Price bit expensive. With 50% discount we payed 40€ (2 adults and 2 children)Written 3 February 2018
- Natteheks0 contributionsIf you are into aquariums this is interestingThe entry fee was perhaps a bit on the heavy side but not outrageously so. The aquariums were well kept and the animals looked healthy and well cared for. I enjoyed my visit and would recommend it.Written 8 November 2017
- Titou19810 contributionsI have seen better in pet shops...First challenge on arrival is to find a place to park. Once you get it you realise it‘s going to cost you. After paying the high entry fee I assume we‘d get a vallet to park the car free of charge or something... Then you walk in and if you booked online they check your phone but also your passport!! I booked flight in Europe and gone on a plane without having to show my passport... just saying... it doesn’t make you feel very welcome but that‘s not that important. First advice if you have a family, go one at a time or something because going there with a 4 years old and a 1 year old in a buggy is just a nightmare! No space no room to park the buggy to let other enjoy the few fishes in there. So don’t take your buggy or don’t take your kids... either way... then the entry fee is pretty big but the place... it‘s just tiny!! Really tiny! You go around in 60min and that’s if you really take your time to do all the little kiddy activities... Then health and safety... the boring bit but seriously!! At head height all displays are sharp as a knife... I noticed by scratching myself... most of the frames are badly build and leave very sharp edges at the perfect height for a kid to either take an eye out or at least bleed after a little knock. I‘d love to see a safety record... if those are out for a while and nobody cut themselves I would be astonished. Like a lot more astonished than after the visit of this over priced, over crowded little aquarium! I wouldn’t recommend to waste your Sunday there with your kids...Written 22 October 2017
- Paul R0 contributionsNice aquarium.. high entry feeBeautiful aquarium but a bit small for the high entree fees. Even with small kids you will be through in less than an hour..Written 20 September 2017
- dave h0 contributionsHorrendous price and very very disappointingI have been to other sea lifes but this one is tiny, amazingly expensive (60 euros for 4 of us!!!!!!!!!!). In total less than an hour of 'entertainment'. Would not recommend this for anyone at all, even on a rainy day. The queue took several times as long as the attraction itself.Written 17 April 2017
- Aleeja M0 contributionsUnderwhelmedDrove an hour and a half expecting the aquarium to be half decent. Very small, few fish, and small exhibits for the animals. The only thing that made this visit worth it was going to the museum of transportation.Written 15 April 2017
- S A0 contributionsSmall, fine for very young children. max 1 hour of entertainmentHaving read the reviews, many of which say the same thing - small, etc, we still went as there really isn't much to do for a three year old in the region other than Luisenpark and walks in the bush. So we thought to try something new. My son is three and a half and he was entertained. He probably could have used more, but actually a lot of other acquariums like Toronto, Sydney, etc are actually too big for a kid this age. So this one in Speyer was perfect. We bought the 12 month pass. I'll be bored easily, but I think the 3 year old will find it interesting even if we go once a month which works out to about 2 Euro per visit. At that rate it's worth it. For older kids I'd recommend something else. Although, Shark feeding time was interesting. The staff are great. There are fantastic little sharks, sea horses, large turtles, etc. And a crab exhibit opens soon. My son loved it so I'm happy as in the end we go there for him, not for me. With this thought in mind I changed by 3/5 rating to 4/5. The restaurant was perfectly good. The Chicken nuggets are very high quality. The Pommes left a lot to be desired. pricing for food is on the high side for attractions in Germany. But when you're trapped there with no other options, you're stuck.Written 25 March 2017

It's not Florida, obviously, but for a smaller scale more provincial attraction it delivered far more than expected. Loads to see and very friendly staff. It gets better the further you progress thru the exhibits. The visit lasted around 2 hours, which is time to see everything and good value for the entrance fee.

The Sea Life is quite nicely done, but I feel the entrance fee is a bit too high compared to the duration of the stay or the offered aquariums. More is not possible in this building from my point of view, as I have already felt the corridors a bit tight in places. I really liked the underwater tunnel, but the windows looked a bit worn on me. I was here again after many years and would also come back at a corresponding distance. Personally, however, I would not consider regular visits.

SeaLife is very clean and well-maintained. Children are given a stamp card when they enter, which they can use to solve puzzles at 8 stations along the way. There are also small hands-on stations in between, which livens up the visit very nicely. We watched a feeding (mountain stream and turtles), listened to the ray demonstration and touched shark eggs, tiger shark teeth and much more in the "touch tank". The staff are very friendly. You can ask questions at any time and are very nicely accompanied here! Great!
However, since we were finished after a good hour despite lots of participation, 1 point deducted because of the rather high entrance fee.

Yesterday we were in the Sealife Speyer and it was just great.
My favourite aquarium was the one with the little European terrapins.
The best after that is of course coral city with a lot of energetic and colourful fish and some sea urchins.
What children (and for sure some grown ups) probably like best is a little part beneath coral city where you can interact with some of the sea creatures that you saw before.
Maybe you even find the special fish in one of the first few aquariums...
Everything was clean and beautifully set in scene.
If you get hungry from spending so much time in there (like we did) the restaurant is a good place to rest and eat. The prices might seem high at first glance but it is worth the food.

The adventure starts already at the entrance: everyone gets a paper goggle to dive into the sea. The animals are fascinating, the decoration perfectly fitting and the information you find is catchy and memorable, perfectly sliced for kids and adults. The staff is informed, extremely friendly and even better trained to answer all the many questions one could come up with. The great thing is, they are also not afraid to say: I don't know that! (which happens like once out of 1000 questions) which makes them even more likeable.
In short, the entire adventure's highlight was the reef with the colourful fish but everything else as well. We love it and will always return for another lovely adventure.

So I was there with 2 children aged 7.
What did I expect? A friendly and motivated person, always friendly and no question from the children was too much.
So there were 2 1/2 of us there, my two looked at everything carefully. But I can imagine that with children who are not very interested, it would take 30 minutes to get through.
One point deducted for the price, which is a bit expensive. The rest is fine in my opinion.

Went on a Sunday afternoon with my wife, daughter, and her two kids, 3 and 1 years old. The kids had a blast. I know that everything these days is getting more expensive, but in my opinion, this place seems overpriced. Good times for the kids.

This is a nice, little aquarium in Speyer. It is surprisingly well done. However, it is simply too small for what they charge. OK for small kids but teens will be through in less than 30 minutes. It is not spectacular enough so as keep up children’s interest for long. All in all, an average experience with a considerable price-tag.

Hi Saltacity,
thank you for your feedback, we are happy that we surprised you positivly. You have concerns about our prices and the size of our facility. In our exhibition we have over 30 aquariums (the largest with 320,000 litres) with several thousand fish, as well as turtles, sharks, rays and moray eels. Such a facility is very expensive to maintain. Since the SEA LIFE brand belongs to the English private company Merlin Entertainments, all running costs have to be financed by the company itself. This means that, unlike most zoological gardens, we do not receive any government support.
Hope to see you again in our underwaterworld Speyer
Best regards

Total disappointment. On Sunday we decided to drive to Speyer to the Sealife. We drove for 2 hours in total.
Finally there & had to leave again BECAUSE it was too full and we had to reserve ONLINE. On top of that the parking is a disgrace.
So we went out again and reserved for 2 hours later.
Then we went in...
CATASTROPHE. The only good thing about the thing was the big pool with 2 sharks and a turtle....the end.
The rest...really narrow corridors & we were through within 30 minutes.
When I was in there in Berlin back then it was really great but this?
Better spend your money at a kebab shop than that.

Hallo K457TXclaudias,
vielen Dank für dein ehrliches Feedback. Wir bedauern sehr, dass dein Besuch bei uns so enttäuschend war und wir deine Erwartungen nicht erfüllen konnten.
Gerade an Wochenenden und in den Ferien ist bei uns sehr viel los, weshalb wir auf unserer Webseite mehrmals kommunizieren, dass wir den Einlass nur mit vorab gebuchten Ticket gewährleisten können.
Wir möchten dir unbedingt ans Herz legen uns mal unter der Woche, außerhalb der Ferienzeit besuchen zu kommen. Da hat man jede Menge Zeit und Platz, alles in Ruhe zu erkunden.
Herzliche Grüße aus Speyer

We were at Sealife for the first time last weekend and were really excited. Our 2-year-old son was fascinated by the choice of sea animals and was allowed to pet the starfish under the guidance of a friendly employee. As parents, we also refreshed our knowledge of marine animals and learned new things. A really well spent time for all of us!
The staff super helpful and accommodating. We were also positively surprised by the Halloween decoration. Would definitely come back!
