Nintendo UK has joined forces with Sea Life UK to craft a vibrant, interactive experience, bringing the underwater world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to life for visitors. This unique collaboration unfolds at various Sea Life locations across the UK, offering fans a delightful mix of real and virtual marine magic.
Immersive tours led by expert guides invite guests to explore the enchanting Sea Life Islands. Here, familiar faces like Aurora and Octavian make appearances amidst the diverse marine creatures. A playful fossil dig adds an element of discovery, revealing the prehistoric ancestors of the creatures we love today, while the adventurous search for Gulliver, who often finds himself stranded on the island’s sandy shores, provides even more entertainment.
The journey is peppered with fun as visitors collect character stamps, learn fascinating facts about the aquarium’s inhabitants, and run into beloved characters Tom Nook and Isabelle. To cap off the experience, fans can snag exclusive Animal Crossing: New Horizons merchandise available in the aquarium’s store.
“We are absolutely delighted to bring this extraordinary experience to several of our SEA LIFE locations,” shares Catherine Pritchard, the general manager at Sea Life London Aquarium. “Our visitors will embark on an exciting journey with Animal Crossing characters, surrounded by thousands of captivating creatures that call our attractions home, from majestic Green Sea Turtles to striking Zebra Sharks. It’s an enriching, fun escapade perfect for families and friends alike.”
