Enter the world of the ocean's most intelligent creatures

Date published: 03 June 2016


Isaac and Noah Journeaux entered the world of the ocean's most intelligent creatures, octopus, with a half term visit to Sealife in Manchester. 

As well as octopus, they were wowed by sharks, sea turtles, stingrays and all manner of exotic fish as they took the fascinating journey from the coast to the ocean depths through 11 themed zones.

Isaac said: "The sharks were awesome".

Noah added: "I liked the octopus best."

During their visit Isaac and Noah also watched the sea turtles being fed - there are animal feeds taking place throughout the day in different areas of the attraction so visitors can see how fast the sea turtle swims, what a seahorse eats and how many fish it takes to satisfy a hungry shark.

Sealife is at the Trafford Centre, Manchester and is open Monday to Sunday from 10am to 6.30pm (last entry 5.30pm).
