A white Christmas may not be forecast for most in the UK but the ice age is going to be in full swing at The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham during its Merry Fishmas event, which will take place from Saturday 13th to Tuesday 23rd December.
Brand new for the festive season is the sensational 4D movie experience, Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas. The Ice Age friends are back in a holiday adventure the whole family can enjoy as Sid accidentally lands on Santa’s “naughty list” and he leads the gang to the North Pole to make things right.
SEA LIFE visitors will also get the chance to meet Father Christmas, who will be in his specially made Grotto, they’ll even receive a present – but only if they have been good!. The grotto will be located near to the centre’s newest attraction, Penguin Ice Adventure, which is a home to a waddling colony of Gentoo penguins.
Offering a real insight into the lives and quirky habits of the Gentoo, Penguin Ice Adventure takes visitors on an expedition into the rarely seen Antarctic landscape where they can marvel at the cheeky antics of these endearing birds from multiple viewing platforms as they dive beneath the freezing waters and play in their icy home.
With sensational interactive experiences, visitors are able to touch the iced environment that the penguins (and Father Christmas!) call home, as well as do their best imitations of the waddling birds in specially designated areas within the attraction. There are also opportunities to watch the penguins being fed during the day.
Anyone looking for a closer encounter with the attraction’s underwater creatures should take advantage of special VIP late night opening sessions* that enable visitors to experience a guided tour led by one of the resident experts. This is fun, festive opportunity to learn more about the fascinating creatures – and how they’ll spend Christmas day, as well as meet Father Christmas and enjoy a mince pie and festive drinks with him!
Eagle-eyed visitors will also spot the unusual addition to the Ocean Tunnel – a festive underwater Christmas tree.
The National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham transports visitors to an amazing underwater world, where they get to see incredible sea life from all over the planet, from the coast of Britain and the chilly Antarctic, to the tropical waters of the Caribbean. The aquarium is home to over 2,000 creatures, such as sharks, as well as a rescued Giant Green Sea Turtle, otters, jellyfish, piranha, octopus and rays. In addition, as an indoor attraction, your visit won’t be spoiled by the weather.
