Accessibility access is difficult to find

Accessibility access is diffult to find: Go down the road on the sea side of the aquarium until you get to the Zip Deck, go down the slope to the beach (towards the pier) and then find the tunnel under the road to the courtyard of the aquarium. It is an old historic building but there should be more signs to show the way. Had to ask locals. Some tanks can be seen only from lower levels unless you can climb stairs e.g glass bottom boat is not accessible. They have tried with lots of little stools to sit on but on day I went the lock to the disabled toilet was broken. A kind person waited outside until I finished. The building being historic is of interest to those interested in architecture. It was a Thursday but busy Incidentailly said you needed to book ahead or by smart phone. This was not true paid at the front door by debit card. It is expensive! Staff were helpful opening and holding open doors which are used to keep heat and humididty in.

Disabled Access Information for SEA LIFE Brighton

disabledAccessText

The disabled access entrance is through the tunnel off the beach and can be accessed via the ramp to the beach next to Brighton Wheel. We have a disabled toilet. Only one area of the centre does not have full access, this is the auditorium. All talks which take place here are able to be heard in the tunnel which views the same display from underneath. Staff who present the talks will always leave via the tunnel, specifically to speak to any wheelchair users. Please note that there is a step that runs alongside some displays with a 70cm restriction.
