Things to see and do
Sharkbait Reef offers many experiences and fun adventures for all the family!

- Enjoy a real hands on experience in the UK's only Tropical Interactive Pool, where the shrimps and other creatures will be more than obliged to give you a manicure!
- View over 200 different species of fish and creatures, including rays, eels, sea-horses, and sharks!
Attraction History
Sharkbait Reef opened in 2009, a year after the rest of the Mutiny Bay. The addition bought SEALIFE to Alton Towers, inviting guests to take a trip through the depths of our ocean, and gaze in wonder at the amazing sea creatures on display.
For the 2010 season the park added a Th13teen themed tank within Sharkbait Reef. Boasting yet more fish and creatures this tank was even complete with it's own mini Th13teen rollercoaster!
In 2011 SEALIFE made even more additions to the attraction, as with their main centers. 2011 saw twelve new Japanese Spider crabs make the Alton Towers Resort their home, in a new area of the SEALIFE Centre known as Skeleton Bay.
