The SEA LIFE London Aquarium is opening its doors on Friday, July 10 for a special 'After Dark' adults-only evening event to celebrate the BRAND NEW LEGO® CITY Deep Sea collection. Encounter extraordinary marine life and enjoy refreshing cocktails after hours whilst spotting the hidden LEGO models making a special appearance over summer - there's no cooler ticket in town. 

Visitors will enjoy a delicious drink on arrival before passing over the impressive Shark Walk glass walkway, admiring the magnificent sharks swimming just inches beneath their feet as they make their way into the underwater world of the aquarium. 

Once inside, guests can explore at their leisure in the calm of the evening. Marvel at the aquarium's majestic green sea turtles, Boris and Phoenix; creep past a Cuban crocodile in the Rainforest area and discover submerged LEGO creations hidden amongst the colourful displays of underwater life. 

PLUS guests will be challenged to build their own LEGO marine masterpieces, and take inspiration from the real life animals swimming nearby by joining a LEGO master builder in the creation of an intricate model of a 70cm long LEGO shark. 

Doors open at 6.45pm. Tickets cost from £15 per person, including a drink on arrival, and must be booked in advance. This event is for over 18s only (ID may be requested on the door).
