Educational visits
Anglesey Sea Zoo aims to provide a fun and educational experience for groups, schools and individuals of all ages, within a family friendly atmosphere.
All the marine animals in our care are native British species, of which you will discover over 60. These can be found all around Britain from the warmer southern waters of areas such as Cornwall to the cold refreshing waters of Northern Scotland. As you wander around you will find information not only for all the animals, but also on important topics such as marine litter and invasive species.
We believe in providing value for money to all our guests, and aim to offer as much variety as possible to people of all ages that visit the Anglesey Sea Zoo. We recommend that visitors allow themselves several hours to see everything on site.
To enquire about making a booking, please call 01248 430 411 or email post@angleseyseazoo.co.uk. Our staff will get back to you to confirm your booking details.

Codes Of Behaviour
The Anglesey Sea Zoo’s staff place great emphasis on customer care. In return all that we ask is for groups to arrive punctually (or to try to let us know if you can’t), with well behaved children who will respect their surroundings and the living creatures they’ll encounter.
