We spent a very happy couple of hours at this excellent seal sanctuary in the centre of Skegness, and watched the feeding time for both adult and young seals which have been rescued on the shores of the North Sea. In addition to rescuing seals, the centre also breeds seals which are released into the wild. It is possible to see the hospital where poorly seals are treated as well. In addition to seals, the sanctuary has meerkats, goats, rare sheep, a butterfly and bird house and an aquarium.

We stumbled across this little gem of a place whilst holidaying nearby.
Our dog loves watching anything animal related on tv. I walked past and noticed it was dog friendly. So long as dogs are kept on leads
He absolutely loved watching the seals and the goat
The work they do to help seals is amazing
If you’re in the area it’s definetly worth a visit.

Myself and my wife visited here because had read good reviews. We were definitely not disappointed a lovely little place that helps seals of all ages recover from all sorts of abuse and injury. We both loved it here and was pleasantly surprised that there was so many other animals to see. All in all a lovely few hours. Is an ideal place for families especially children.

Absolutely lovely place, considering they depend solely on sales and donations they are doing amazing, I love seeing the seals rescued and knowing they will be released when and if they are ready, lots of little extras, I always try to buy coffee here and little gifts as it all goes to help them keep this gem going, if you are looking for a glossy shiny new zoo then go somewhere else, this place is visibly worn but everyone works with such heart and cares deeply for the animals in their care!

We visit this place every time we come to Skegness. Never disappoints. We see baby seals, penguins, reptiles, butterflies and much more and of course.... (my personal favourite) we feed the goats (only 50p for a small bag). The admission price is very reasonable and we always eat lunch at the café. Great selection of food on offer and at a great price. Toilet facilities were nice and clean. Staff were all friendly.

This was mentioned on a social media page wanting something different to do we drove over 2 hours.
Greeted by the loveliest of people 20th August.
We saw adult seals, a young seal, a mum, and pup something we clearly don't see in day to day life.
The talks were very interesting.
We saw some seals in the hospital through the window and much more.
This is its own charity and relies on people visiting.
The gift shop is always our last stop when leaving somewhere we have visited.
I was dismayed to see when paying for our things food to purchase to feed the goats and llamas we would have loved to have done that if we would have known. Prompt and sell on arrival.
The butterfly house was empty, and I thought there may have been some flying around.
Make it more interactive, have children/teens quizzes or a hunt looking for things. Reptile/aquarium talks/handling.

Absolutely lovely place, it's a small attraction but loads to see and do.
Animals are really well taken care of, information boards about the animals, its not just seals there are llama, goats, reptiles, fish, penguins, meerkat.
It's £11 per adult which I happily paid for as it helps the seals. Lots of kids and families around the seal area at feeding time but as my son is older we just came back once the little kids had moved.

Small but interesting place to visit. Loved the fact that we could just turn up without all this having to book in advance. More places should go back to this. Price is £11 for adults and £9 for kids, although in view of the size, I feel a few pounds less per person would be better because for a family of 4, I think £40 was quie expensive as we weren't in there long at all and had to spend lots more money elsewhere to keep my family entertained for the rest of the day. For comparison, it's an extra £17 per adult and £12 per child at Colchester Zoo which is an all day thing so for a bit extra, the whole day is sorted.

Thanks so much for your review! We understand the price however as our costs have gone up for all food, bedding, medication etc etc for our animals we have had to increase our costs as all similar attractions have to do year on year. We understand the cost of living is super high, however we have to be able to cover our costs as well, it is £36.00 for a family ticket is one of the cheapest admission prices around Skegness compared with similar attractions.

Visited today with my husband and our 11 year old son and had a lovely time. We watched the seal feeding and listened to Will’s excellent facts - the seals are hilarious, especially Pixie who was slapping the water to demand her fish 🤣
We saw the charismatic goats, the chickens, guinea pigs, alpacas, penguins tortoises and rabbits and walked through the reptile house, aquarium and butterfly house.
Looked at the seal hospital - please remember when you visit here how important the work of the sanctuary is and how your admission ticket helps their vital work.
After all that we were hungry and so had lunch in the restaurant which was very nice. We also visited the well stocked gift shop and bought some souvenirs to take home to remind us of the lovely day we had.
I’m really dismayed by some of the negative reviews - this isn’t a theme park and you won’t be entertained for hours on end, nor should you expect that given the reasonable admission charge. Go along, walk round, take your time, read the posters, listen to the talks and maybe you’ll enjoy it more. If not then just leave feeling happy that your admission fee may have saved a seal from a painful death and get on with your life doing things you do actually enjoy.
Oh and in a contradiction to some of the reviews, all of the animals we saw looked incredibly happy and well looked after - the salad the rabbits and guinea pigs were chomping on looked fresh and delicious.
Keep up the good work everyone, we’ll be back when we next visit Skegness 😊

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We are so so happy to hear that you enjoyed our feeding times, Pixie never stops with the slapping does she!!
We appreciate your review so much, it can be very disheartening to read such negative reviews when our animals welfare and happiness is the biggest thing for us! Sometimes I am jealous looking at the fancy salad that they are eating! Again, we appreciate your review so much and we look forward to welcoming you next time you come!

Disappointing. As we walked up to it we thought they had closed , so run down.
And before anyone criticised, yes we know it's purpose and charity status.
Friendly welcome. Treating granddaughter who likes penguins. Imagine her disappointment when the exhibit is empty.
We arrived at seal feeding time. Very informative.
The bird house was ok but little to look at, the butterfly was the worst butterfly house I've ever visited.. we counted 3. No crocodile either. Retile house had alot of empty windows.
All done in one hours. We've been before and I must say this is the worst we've ever seen it.

As we rely on entry fees and donations to be able to continue with our vital seal rescue work and to ensure our animals are happy and healthy, we have to prioritise this over improvements, meaning we can only do cosmetic stuff as and when we have the funds, we do not get any outside funding so every little helps. Our penguins are kept in their enclosure all year round so they would have been in there, we have to provide a refuge for all of our animals so they are able to escape public viewing if they would like to. We are glad that you enjoyed our feeding times! We have a weekly delivery of butterflies so I can assure you that there would have been more than 3 they may not have been flying that day which is disappointing however if you look in the trees/flowers you can see them resting. I can 100% assure you that our crocodile is in it's enclosure, and is not moved from there, she may have been under the bridge! As I said before, we do have to provide a refuge for our animals, we do not force them to be on display if they do not want to. We are sorry that they all seemed to be hiding for your visit, but the welfare of our animals is the most important thing for us.

How long roughly does it take to get round and see the sanctuary?
كُتب بتاريخ 3 سبتمبر 2019
It's not a big place but we tend to make the most of it and stay a couple of hours. Sometimes we go out and return - show receipt and re enter. If you do either it's ok value overall.
