The Sea Life London Aquarium

The London Eye and The Sea Life London Aquarium

 We've been to London many times and have been on the London Eye for 4 times already but have never entered the huge building near it. So when a friend invited us for a birthday dinner in London, we  thought it was our chance to visit the aquarium. 
There was already a long queue at the entrance when we got there at around 1030am. Luckily we have a Merlin Annual Pass so could go straight in.  The attraction was extremely popular so it was expected that there would be a lot of people. 
Poj loves his book titled Smiley Shark which featured a shark and other fish as well, and we knew he would love to see them swim in the water. 


The London Aquarium is one of Europe's largest display of global aquatic life. The glass tunnel walkway encased in a gigantic skeleton was pretty impressive. I was even more impressed that Poj was not scared at all of the huge fish even when they come near the glass. 

They have over 500 species from every part of the world, more than 40 sharks from 12 different species, 14 themed zones over 3 floors and 2 million litres of water. The place is massive! We know we have to go back when Poj is a little bit older to get a chance to interact with the animals at their interactive public feeding and diving displays. 

They also have 30 species of plants and foliage...

Poj loved Nemo and Dory!

Their newest attraction proved to be a hit most especially with little Poj, the Penguins Ice Adventure.  They have put interactive features such as freezing touch pools and they had decorated the area to make the area look and feel similar to their natural habitat. 

Poj had a blast at one of the ice caves

There are obviously a lot more to explore which we've saved for next time. And hopefully I learn to take photos in low light to get better pictures for next time. My little one can't stop looking back, he had a great time! =)

Snippets of London

How did you guys spent your Easter break?


Andito ang Auntie namin last April para dumalo sa isang conference at swerteng inalok siya ng extension ng kanyang stay.  Kaya't naipasyal namin sya ng konti sa London.  Sayang nga at there are way too many places na pwedeng pasyalan pero too little time!  
Ito ang pics ng ibang mga napuntahan ni Auntie sa London...

London Eye & London Aquarium

Ang London Eye ay parang isang mega ferris wheel na umiikot sa  speed na 26cm per second. Ang isang rotation ay tumatagal ng 30minutes kung saan may sapat na oras ka para i-admire ang view ng London. 

London Eye capsule

Ang London Eye ay may 32 capsules at may taas na 443 ft. Isa ito sa pinakasikat na dinadalaw ng mga tourist - over 3.5 million na katao kada taon.

UK Parliament

Ito na ata ang pinakasikat at kinukuhaang picture ng mga tourista na sumasakay sa London Eye.

Big Ben

Ang Big Ben ay ang nickname ng great bell ng clock. Pero kadalasan kapag sinasabi nila ang Big Ben ay tinutukoy na rin nila ang clock at ang tower ng parliament. Hindi ito ang original ng clock ng parliament, ang iconic tower na ito ay sinimulang gawin nung 1843 at natapos noong 1859.
