Do you long to interact with the Animal Crossing: New Horizons characters in real life? Well, then I have good news for you. Animal Crossing: New Horizons has teamed up with SEA LIFE UK for a new interactive experience.
Tropical Island…UK Style
The Animal Crossing: New Horizons at SEA LIFE event will enable visitors to discover incredible marine life alongside some of the game’s characters. Kicking off in SEA LIFE Manchester, the exhibition will travel across the UK, ending at SEA LIFE Chessington World of Adventures.

Catherine Pritchard , General Manager at SEA LIFE London Aquarium said about the event: “We are thrilled to be offering this one-of-a-kind experience across a number of our SEA LIFE locations. Our guests will be taken on a journey alongside characters from Animal Crossing. All whilst surrounded by the thousands of amazing creatures that we have in our attractions, from Green Sea Turtles to Zebra Sharks in this enriching, fun and unique adventure.”
Oh Several Things I See
Equipped with a tour guide to lead the way, guests will explore the ‘Sea Life Islands’ and discover diverse sea creatures. A fossil dig will reveal the ancestors of today’s marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for Gulliver too, rumour has it he has washed up amongst the displays.

Visitors will be able to collect character stamps, discover many interesting facts about the inhabitants of SEA LIFE and meet with Tom Nook and Isabelle. Of course what special event would be complete without merch? At the end of your visit, you’ll be able to purchase Animal Crossing: New Horizons merchandise in each venue’s gift store.
