A lovely place to visit. I haven't been in a long time but it's nice to see and hear them still helping rehabilitate and release seals today. All of the animals are well cared for, keepers are knowledgeable and staff are friendly. It was a shame to hear about the loss of their meerkats. Lots of gifts, toys and ways to donate and help keep the important work going despite them being grateful for just purchasing tickets. Love that they are dog friendly and can go anywhere except for in the butterfly house, restaurant and gift shop. Definitely worth a stop if your in the area! Reasonable prices and great for kids to see the good work they do.
We had a lovely visit to the Seal Sanctuary and really enjoyed our day. There was plenty to see, and it was great learning about the animals and the important rescue work they do. My niece absolutely loved it and was fascinated by all the different animals. The butterfly enclosure was definitely one of the highlights, it was beautiful, with butterflies flying all around, making it a really special experience. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable day out, and we'd happily recommend it to anyone visiting the area, especially families with children. 🦭🦋😊
What a fantastic little place. We walked in to hear a talk on the rehabilitation and release of seal pups. The young lady was very interesting and showed passion about the project. There is a reptile house, goats, turkeys, alpacas, guinea pigs, rabbits penguins and of course seals. A bird sanctuary with some beautiful birds and amazing butterflies, all flying freely in the greenhouses. A large cafe. The food was not great. Still a great place to visit and support a charity that has reintegrated over 1000 seals back into the wild. The goats and Alpacas were happy yo be fed too.
Absolutely brilliant day out with the kids, there's an aquarium, reptile house, petting zoo, Seal pool, seal nursing pool, penguin island, tropical bird exhibit, souvenir shop and restaurant, the site is dog friendly as well, your able to buy feed for the petting zoo. Staff are very knowledgeable about all the seals that they have. Feeding time starts at 11.30 ever visitor is welcome to see this, If your in Skegness please visit this place, it is very much worth it.
We have been thinking of visiting for a while as it's a long way from home, finally ventured over, My daughter has wanted to see live seals for a while now so it was a good choice. There are enough seals to keep the visitors interested and they also have a selection of other animals as well, which includes meerkats goats a small selection on reptiles and others. Some area's seem a bit run down and could do with a bit of a clean and tidy up but this doesn't detract from the overall experience we had. There is a couple of gift shops with all the usual sort of soft toys etc. It is reasonable value as the money goes towards the ongoing treatment and caring for the seals and other animals. There a decent size carpark a couple of hundred yards from the centre and good access to the local seafront and fairground rides. Overall a good day out .
