Weymouth SEA LIFE Park features an amazing collection of deadly marine creatures this year in an exciting exhibition called 'VENOM.'
Come face to face with some of the world's most poisonous sea creatures such as sea snakes, lionfish, porcupine puffer fish and moon jellyfish.
Baby Turtles
See the newly arrived baby Mississippi Map Turtles in our Turtle Sanctuary…given a home here with us after arriving in the UK with the wrong paperwork! Native to the Mississippi and Missouri, Map turtles are one of the smaller species and can live for up to 40 years.
Crocodile Creek
Dare you board the scariest new ride in the South…a thrill-a-second boat ride through the all new Crocodile Creek, bringing you so close to the jaws of our resident crocodiles you’ll image you can feel their hot, steamy breath on your face!
If that’s not enough, in Easter 2009, The Turtle Sanctuary welcomes 100 new baby turtle residents. Each are about the size of a 50-pence-piece and were destined for the UK pet trade, but were confiscated by Customs officers when it was discovered they were not accompanied by the correct paperwork. Weymouth’s Turtle sanctuary is part of international efforts to generate captive bred stock for future re-introduction programmes.
In 2008 we saw Weymouth SEA LIFE open its doors to Adventure Island; a fantasy land with four amazing children’s rides – a drop ride, tugboat, pirate ship and seal themed roundabout. A great place for any young explorer!
Highlights include the National Turtle Sanctuary, an incredible otter sanctuary, a collection of comical Humboldt penguins, resident seals and the amazing Splash Lagoon, where adults can relax whilst younger visitors can have a 'splashing good time.'
