The popular Sea Life Centre, a key tourist attraction in Scarborough, could be facing an uncertain future.
Owners Merlin Entertainments has decided to ‘review its estates’ and could sell its aquarium museum Sea Life, with eleven UK centres, including Scarborough.
The company have appointed investment bank Rothschild to look into selling their sites, both is the UK and abroad.
Whilst refusing to comment on Scarborough specifically a spokesperson for Merlin commented “Like any well-run business, Merlin regularly reviews its estate, to ensure it reflects the company’s long-term growth strategy. We continue to invest in our attractions globally – opening 24 new rides, attractions and experiences in 2024”.
We can only hope for a positive outcome.
