The Great Turtle Odyssey at SEA LIFE Birmingham — A May Half Term Adventure for Families

The Great Turtle Odyssey at SEA LIFE Birmingham: What to Expect This May Half Term

If you’re starting to think about what to do with the kids over May half term (and let’s be honest, the planning has probably already begun), then I think I’ve found something that’s going to go down really well. National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham has a brand new experience for families this half term, and it’s all about one of the most incredible creatures in the ocean — the sea turtle.

Dive into The Great Turtle Odyssey and discover the incredible journey through the life of a sea turtle.

• When: 23rd May – 7th June
• Included: with SEA LIFE admission
• Perfect for: families

Turtles are amazing!

The journey of a turtle’s life is truly incredible. The places they go, the animals they meet — both friendly and not so friendly! The skills they have, how far they swim, the dangers they face, the things they eat (and that eat them — EEK!)

You can learn all about them here, and what you can do to help when you set out on your own Great Turtle Odyssey, only at SEA LIFE!
