Shark Mission at Sea Life Centre Birmingham

Another 'must-do' on our summer list is the new Octonauts: Shark Mission at National Sea Life Centre Birmingham because a) Ethan loves the Octonauts (hubs and I do too), b) he is also a big fan of sharks, and c) we always enjoy visiting the centre, so the summer holidays are a great excuse to go along again soon.

From what we've heard, the new event will be absolutely jaw-some (sorry!), so here's what you need to know if you would like to add this to your list of summer holiday days out ideas: 

Come face-to-fin with the aquarium’s own fascinating family of resident sharks, solve the mind-bending puzzles of the mystery trail and take part in an exclusive meet and greet with Shellington - available only at Sea Life - and his Octonaut friends.

Visit Professor Inkling’s colour lab, take a special dive of discovery with Dashi and follow instructions from Captain Barnacles to make a shark puppet.

There’s also plenty on offer for older kids, couples and adults, marvelling at the cheeky antics of a colony of Gentoo penguins before meeting a crab or starfish at the Interactive Rockpool. Discover the majestic jellyfish, brave to take a peek at the piranhas and feel part of the story in the 4D Cinema. Not to forget the chance to get face-to-fin with some of the strangest creatures you’ll ever meet in the UK’s only 360° Ocean Tunnel, home to sharks, rays and Mo, the aquarium’s resident giant green sea turtle.

Octonauts: Shark Mission starts on 14th July and runs until 2nd September 2018, and is included in the National Sea Life Centre’s usual admission price, with tickets starting from £13.00 per person. Best ticket prices can be found online at: www.sealife.co.uk/birmingham.
