"Sealife Centre at Loch Lomond Shores" Loch Lomond Tourist Trap Tip by bip_231

We recently visited the newly opened sealife centre, located in the Loch Lomond Shores shopping/leisure area at Balloch, and we were very disappointed! When we entered the building, we thought that the ticket price was a little expensive, but decided that the visit must be worth the money, and went in anyway. It took us all of 35 minutes to visit the ENTIRE centre. We paid £7.95 each.

Some of the exhibits were not yet opened, and said that they were 'under refurbishment'. The centre had only been opened a matter of weeks when we visited! Also, some of the exhibits were too high too look at, and the signs/information boards looked as though they had been written by a five year old child. I understand that places like this have to cater for people with younger kids, but surely they have to give other folks information too?

Anyway, I'd recommend that you don't visit the centre. Instead, have a wander around the little woodland area that is down there, or visit Luss. The sealife centre there was no where near value for money!
