Silent disco at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium

The best way to visit the aquarium! Arrive early to wander the exhibits with a glass of prosecco (provided upon arrival) and see the amazing sea life in the dark, under neon lights. Then make your way to the dance floor, and feel as though you're swimming with the fishes. Drinks are reasonably priced and with a choice of 3 DJ's you'll always love the music. The evening ends at 11:45pm, even jellyfish need their beauty sleep, you won't want to leave. A fantastic experience, I can't wait to go again!

Fancy partying under the sea! So grab a pair of glowing headphones for a fun night at The SeaLife Aquarium.

I've been to several silent discos in London and it's always a great experience. The Silent Disco at The SeaLife Aquarium is one of the quirkiest one. The venue is magical. Definitely recommand as you can explore the main aquarium, wander around the jellyfish gallery while listenning great music from three different DJ sets. 

Are you looking for something other than pubs or pop-ups to spend your London evening? Perhaps a unique thing to do on a date? Or do you simply want to find out what mischief the sharks get up to when the sun goes down?

If you got a yes to any of the above, then you definitely wouldn't want to miss out on Silent Disco at the SEA LIFE Aquarium!  Having been to the aquarium so many times, this was quite a different experience - the pictures really speak for themselves.

Running from 7.45pm till 11pm, you have plenty of time to get ready after work and slowly make your way to the magical night. The doors are pretty much open most of the night for you to turn up whenever, however I do suggest turning up before the jelly fish tanks close at 10, it's quite a sight!

With each ticket you'll receive a complimentary fizz. There's also bars where you can buy more alcohol on top of that. Just like any silent disco, you get a headphone at the entrance, and in this case you get a selection of 3 channels by 3 different live DJs. So do not be alarmed when you see others dancing and singing along to wildly different music to you - they are just listening to other DJs (and/or are having a very merry time!) Other than the dance floor, there are also other levels and exhibits opened, where you get a quieter experience with the fishies. Quietly sitting with the sharks enjoying a glass of wine, completely submerged in the peaceful ambience. It's like something straight out of a fairy tale. 

I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable night! Thank you SEA LIFE and the lovely staff for the breathtaking experience!

Silent discos are becoming more and more popular. It such a brilliant idea to dance to music played through your personal headphones rather than speakers. The fact that dancers can choose between three different channels, means more classical music can share the same floor as ravers partying to hard-core techno music. The headphones are lighting up in different colour so you can also choose if you want to dance to similar taste public. Because they are now everywhere, it’s not just enough to have just ‘silent disco’, not it’s a competition of special venues. Shard is among popular ones and after visiting one in the Aquarium, I can say that the setting is excellent. It’s very charming to observe colourful fish, sharks, jelly-fish while dancing away. Small negative observation – as you move between halls, the music is fuzzy so you have to decide whether you want to walk around or stay where you can catch a good quality sound. The main area was downstairs, where DJs are competing between pop, r'n'b, soul and indie. The choice of drinks are great and the best option is to pay for an unlimited upfront.  

The best way to see the aquarium! Buy a ticket, grab a pair of headphones, tune into your favourite music and shimmy and shake it off with the Sharks. Incredible atmosphere and the jellyfish exhibit was great.

I'd never visited London aquarium before so a silent disco in an aquarium really appealed.

We arrived about 20 mins after doors opened and straight in to be greeted by a glass of bubbles and a walk straight over some delightful fishes. (Pre warning it's cash bar only on these nights)

You pop in a lift downstairs and greeted by friendly staff and directed towards the tanks.

A firm immediate favourite was the large turtle literally just chilling on the glass tank wall. You could see sharks, stingrays and an array of fish.

As we walked around we learnt more on the fish and the history and then we stumbled across the jellyfish section. I was fascinated by these little creatures and the lighting really helped you see every element of them. You have a great variety of jellyfish to see here and I would go back again to see them!

Now to the silent disco, a great space downstairs not too far from the main fishes are 3 djs lined up and competing your listen to their track. 3 different stations from pop, r'n'b, soul and indie, I heard every genre possible. The bars were plenty and easy to spot and the staff very attentive to ensure any spillages and quickly mopped up. The event was very busy but plenty of space to move and dance. Just be warned if you take your ear phones off you will be hit by a delightful sound of hundreds of people singing different songs completely out of tune.

Grab your friends and go along to a rather unique setting for a party and boogie!

Going to a silent disco is always a lot of fun, add in a setting amongst fishes, turtles and sharks makes it even more of an experience. There are 3 different DJs you can tune into, so something for all musical tastes. Don’t miss seeing the jellyfish section upstairs as it closes early (such a cool exhibit), and visit the underwater tunnel (great for Instagram shots!). The only downside is that the drinks are a bit expensive and it’s cash only for the bar. Overall - a really fun night out.

This event was fantastic, I got to enjoy 3 different DJs music selections through my headphone. I also got to dance and see sharks and sting rays swimming around at the same time. Not all areas were accessible but it was sufficient to give a taste of dancing among the sea creatures. The jellyfish section was cool - the lighting in the corridor and aquarium made the jellyfish look extra beautiful and amazing as they swim around. They looked like transparent umbrellas changing colors as they swim. Overall, it was a fun night, the crowd was young (20-30s average), the music was good and the atmosphere was unique.

Incredible experience at the Silent Disco of Sea Life! Enter through a glass tunnel/aquarium before reaching the dancefloor and dancing like crazy on a great playlist. The concept is unexpected and the place perfect for it. You only get to see a few aquariums and not the entire Sea Life but a really great experience to try with friends!

What an experience! I'm not usually a big fan of silent disco, mainly because my friends absolutely love it and are constantly dragging me along, I've basically got a bit bored. However, Silent Disco surrounded by Sharks, Fish and Jelly Fish was just on another level of epicness, and my Instagram was on FIRE.The music which has to get a mention was also on fire, with the DJs doing a sound job of keeping everyone entertained. On arrival, I was presented with a glass of prosecco but there was an amazing deal of £20 per person for unlimited beer and wine, despite not taking up this offer myself it is such a good deal if you plan on drinking the night away. 

Usually, when I've been drinking and see a shark coming towards me at head-height, I usually know I've had one shandies too many. In this case however, it is fine as they are one of the star attractions at the silent disco at the SEALIFE London Aquarium. The setting is superb (especially when you are in the 180 degree observation tunnel), a nice of choice of soundtracks (Disney's Little Mermaid anyone?) and also a main dance-floor (although I preferred exploring the darker recesses). The main downside was the lack of choice of drinks and poor quality of the wine. Although I didn't personally find it enjoyable as the Silent Disco at the Shard (that outdoor open area takes some beating), I'd totally recommend this to Londoners and tourists alike.

The Silent Disco at Sea Life London Aquarium is definitely something you cannot miss if you’d like to combine dancing, singing to your lungs, and obviously if you’re a big fan of fish. Upon entrance you’re offered a complimentary glass of prosecco and a pair of headphones that will contribute to lead you towards a sublime experience you won’t easily forget. There are 3 DJs playing a wide range of music over 3 different channels (which you can easily tune into thanks to the Bluetooth headphones), ranging from rock/90’s (blue channel), reggae/house (red channel) and pop/r&b (green channel), giving everyone an opportunity to find a song they fancy listening to. During the event you’ll also have the opportunity to explore the aquarium, walk under the glass tunnel surrounded by wonderful marine creatures like sharks, giant turtles, manta rays and other fish; and at the same time also visit the brand new Jellyfish experience upstairs, in a colorful hallway that reminds a lot of 70’s psychedelia.

True, it might be a pricy experience, with an entrance ticket of £29 excluding drinks, but considering the atmosphere and the quality of the music, dancing while being surrounded by fishies is not something that you’d want to miss! You’ll love it!

i love silent disco, one of the best activities to do with friends in London. Adding on a tour of the sea life aquarium, this is an event not to be missed. The aquarium is absolutely stunning, best part being the jellyfish exhibition and there is a welcome drink too. Staff at the bar were nice and friendly. The only downside is probably that there are certain areas where the reception isn't too good hence you can't hear the music but this isn't a big problem as most people end up at the main area after finishing the tour anyway. Also, cash at bar only so remember to bring cash!

Well, it's of-fish-al... from start to fin-ish, the silent disco at the aquarium was brilliant! Where else in London, can you dance the night away in the company of some of the most beautiful (and some with a face only their mother could love) water welling creatures! Honestly, the excitement starts the moment you walk over a clear part of the floor where you can sea some of the aquarium's inhabitants swimming beneath you. After making your way down to the part of the aquarium where the disco is held, you aren't walking straight into random people dancing, you're in an open space where you can wander around with a drink both simultaneously taking in the view and trying to get that ultimate selfie which captures the beauty of your face and the creatures behind you. To find the silent disco, follow the muffled and half-muted singing and you'll be golden. It was a three DJ set-up; all of which had great music and that classic bantz about the other one that won't let you down. If you can think of a better way to spend a Friday night, or any night for that matter, let minnow.

I wouldn't have thought of the London aquarium as a setting to host a disco but it actually worked really well. I have been to the silent disco at the shard and recently visited the aquarium to see the new ocean invaders so this was a lovely opportunity to combine the two experiences and it didn't disappoint! I mean where else are you going to get the opportunity to see two giant sea turtles getting it on while listening to Justin Bieber and sipping prosecco?

It was a shame that the penguins were not available to visit as they are my favourite and also while exploring certain areas the signal cuts out so you cant hear the music but still a great experience and really good atmosphere!

Ive been to a few of the silent discos and honestly I didnt think anything could top the shard but this one is a strong contender!!!

It all comes down to the DJs having said that. Yea it gets a little hot and stuffy but that's the right kinda good times we all want... ;)

Its great to shake it with the jelly fishes and bounce with the sharks ... Brings you closer to mother nature so to say! Had a blast so I'd recommend it.

I had an absolutely brilliant night at the aquarium silent disco - prosecco upon arrival and so many cool things to see! The rays were my favourite, so graceful. There are a couple of huge tanks you can see from lots of different angles - rays, sharks, turtles, other fish. Plus smaller tanks and a whole section of jellyfish, with insane disco lights. And the whole time you get to wear headphones and listen to some choons! There were 3 DJs playing a wide range of music, so something for everyone. The main dancefloor was right next to the big tank so you can dance and watch fish at the same time!! Generally highly recommended.

This was such an unexpectedly amazing night. We all remember going to the aquarium when we were children but the silent disco allows adults to have their fun and enjoy that nostalgic excitement from many years ago.

Upon arrival you're greeted with a complimentary glass of prosecco (yes prosecco!) and given headphones. You then work your way over the glass ceiling above the sharks to enjoy this fishesta! At first I thought a silent disco might be a tad cringe but the djs were great as were the crowd and everyone really let loose and enjoyed the wave.

Additionally the alcohol was reasonably priced at fourteen pounds for a bottle of wine, making it even easier to whip out all the moves as you were in your own little aquatic bubble. I thought it was great that there were three Djs who all played different genres as it gave you a real sense of control over the night as well as being able to see what was popular amongst other people.

Along with the dancing you could see sharks, sea turtles, sting rays and jelly fish which made the whole experience extra special and I honestly didn't want the night to end. So if it wasn't clear from the start I highly recommend this new night that makes a change to the average bar or club and brings back happy memories of childhood, with a hint of rebellion.
