By Bus: Buses run very regularly from all over Brighton and the greater region which will drop you off close to SEA LIFE Brighton. Take any bus into Brighton town Centre and head for the seafront. There is a bus stop situated a couple of minutes away from our entrance next to the traffic lights, or Old Steine bus stop a short walk away.
By Train: SEA LIFE Brighton is approximately a 20-minute walk away from Brighton Train Station. The easiest route is to head to the seafront down Queens Road and then turn East towards Brighton Pier. Quicker routes can be found via the North Laines however they can be a bit of a maze!
By Car: All main routes into Brighton will take you to the seafront. Follow the fish symbol on the brown tourist signs or look for Brighton Pier and we are situated right next door.
