New for 2009 - Crocodile creek!
From May 2009 Weymouth Sea Life Park launches its new feature - Crocodile Creek! "Embark on a safari style log flume adventure and come face to face with crocodiles!"
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! In 2007 Turtle Sanctuary!
Come face to face with some of the world's most poisonous sea creatures in "Venom". In this dangerous and fascinating new feature you will meet a variety of deadly characters including sea snakes, lionfish, porcupine puffer fish and moon jellyfish".
A working rescue facility provides a care and rehabilitation service for stranded turtles, and a refuge for unwanted freshwater terrapins.
Learn all about theses extraordinary creatures and the efforts being made to protect their environments.
Strange But True
Meet some of the watery world's craziest creatures, from prehistoric horseshoe crabs and sharp-shooting mantis shrimp, to the amazing puffer fish - which can expand to over twice its size when threatened! Whether it's odd, incredible or downright deadly Weymouth Sea Life Park lifts the lid on some of the marine world's strangest secrets.
Tropical Shark Lagoon
Step inside the hull of a sunken wreck for a close encounter with a variety of incredible tropical sharks. Come
face to face with the oceans' most successful predators as they patrol the warm shallows of the tropical lagoon. Investigate the strange new castaways on their island paradise.
Seahorse Specialists
Sea Life are among the world's leading experts on seahorses and at Weymouth Sea Life Park, you'll find the home of Sea life's pioneering captive breeding programmes. Our on-going breeding projects have added much to the world's knowledge of these mysterious creatures, and the programmes have allowed us to supply other public aquaria around the world, thus greatly reducing the numbers of seahorses being taken from the wild.
Multi-level viewing brings you amazingly close to the stunning and colourful ocean world around you. At Splash 'n' Crab you are free to pick up and handle many kinds of marine life, such as crabs and starfish. There's endless enjoyment and entertainment for all ages.
Weymouth Sea Life Park has a wide and changing programme including feeding displays, talks and demonstrations to help you understand more about the universe under the sea. Our new 3-D adventure trail will test your new-found knowledge!
