GIVE HER A FIN-TASTIC GIFT THIS MOTHER'S DAY WITH

VIP EXPERIENCES AT THE SEA LIFE LONDON AQUARIUM

Step away from the usual fluffy slippers and flowers combo, and instead give your mother exactly what she deserves with the extra special VIP experience at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium – imagine that photograph on the mantelpiece!

SNORKELLING WITH SHARKS

Throw your mum in the deep end and experience snorkeling with a group of over 15 sharks at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium. Submerged in water and separated by a mesh net, get up close and personal with a group of jaw-droppingly magnificent sharks - including Black Tip Reef and Brown sharks – a great experience that she will never forget. The full experience lasts an hour and a half with a 15-minute snorkel and includes priority entrance to the aquarium and all equipment, all for just £125. No diving experience is necessary.* Book online at https://www2.visitsealife.com/london/discover/vip-experiences/snorkelling-with-sharks-experience/

VIP SHARK FEEDING EXPERIENCE

On the other fin, you can still take her on a jawsome adventure without getting wet, with the VIP Shark Feed. A trained aquarist will show you the ropes, answer questions and give expert information about the six species of shark in the stunning Pacific Reef display. Tickets include the 30 minute feed, plus priority entry to the aquarium and a guidebook, all for £75 per person.** Book online at

BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR

If your mum is a budding marine biologist, the Behind the Scenes Tour at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium is the perfect experience. The 45 minute tour exposes the attraction's inner workings and whisks guests “behind the glass” to discover what it takes to keep one of Europe's biggest aquariums running smoothly. Touring the areas where the dedicated aquarists actually work, there is plenty of hands-on interaction and the chance to ask questions and learn fun facts along the way. Behind the Scenes tours are £7.50 for adults and £5 for children and can be bought alongside attraction admission. Book online at –
