After six years in operation, The Bear Grylls Adventure will close at the beginning of December. This has been a very difficult decision and one that was made only after careful consideration. Our priority now is looking after our team members and animals throughout this transition.

Over the coming weeks, we will continue to provide world-class animal care as we prepare to transfer our animals to suitable new homes, including to our nearby aquarium the National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham and other UK SEA LIFE sites. Our team of welfare specialists at SEA LIFE will oversee the transition process to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible.

We are proud of the positive impact The Bear Grylls Adventure has had on thousands of children and families that have visited over the last six years, showing guests first-hand the power of immersive activity in escaping the ordinary, and how adventure is for everyone. We want to thank our amazing team and guests who have made this time so memorable

The Bear Grylls Adventure attraction is closing due to commercial challenges. The decision to close the site has not been taken lightly and was made after carefully reviewing the data and examining all other viable options. A contributing factor included the temporary closure during the pandemic which had a lasting financial impact on the attraction. This is the right commercial decision which enables us to prioritise our other Midlands-based and UK attractions.

The attraction is currently scheduled to close at the end of business on Wednesday 11th December.

The attraction will be open as normal until the end of business on the 11th December and guests with pre-booked tickets should visit as normal.
