SEA LIFE Brighton

Near Brighton Pier, this aquarium is the oldest in the world (it opened in 1872), with thousands of sea-dwelling creatures—from sharks to seahorses to starfish—in more than 30 marine habitats. There's a glass-bottom-boat experience, a humid rainforest adventure, and an extraordinary coral reef exhibition that shows how the ecosystem changes between day and night. Check online for the daily feeding schedules, all of which are accompanied by free talks, including turtles at 11 am and sharks at 2 pm. Book online at least a day in advance for big discounts.
