We Loved the aquarium .There was so much to learn .I particularly loved the shark enclosure. Especially walking inside the aquarium with water all around, obviously we were protected by glass. The sharks in all their sizes were so sleek and graceful .Amazing .I also loved the penguin enclosure. The penguins were so ungainly on the ice .They walked like I walk because I have a sore foot. But in the water they turn into a different creature, so swift and graceful . It was all a great experience .

Buying tickets ahead of time saved a wait at the door. The penguins are my favourite, but the sharks and rays are very impressive. Pig the dugong was having his exhibit revamped while we were there, but we managed to sneak a peek of him while in the tunnels! It's a great day out for all ages.

It was an easy transition, from purchase to enjoying the day. There was no rush or need to wonder where the tickets were, I was just able to focus on showing up and having the best experience.

Our visit to sea life sydney was a great experience as all staff members were willing to help and offer kindness, you walk into the aquarium and are excitedly greeted by an employee who takes a picture for you to keep as a memory of the day, along the way through there is so many wonderful sea creatures to see, feel and even go on a little short boat experience to see my personal favourite the penguins. Overall a great experience and would recommend for all ages!

The Sydney Multi-Attraction Pass was a great deal! It was well-priced and we were able to spread the activities over a couple of days, combining it with the epic Darling Harbour Playground. It was hugely convenient having 3 of the attraction in the same location; and our trip to the Sydney Eye enabled us to catch the light rail, which the kids particularly enjoyed. All the attractions packed a lot of punch. Thank you!

We had such a wonderful and memorable experience! Even though we arrived really late, the staff were very kind and accommodating. They still allowed us to ride the boat to get a closer look at the penguins and watch them up close, which made our visit even more special. We really appreciated their kindness and effort to make sure we didn’t miss out on the experience. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable!

We absolutely loved it, my 7 year old granddaughter was amazed and had the best time. Her favourite part was walking through the tunnel with all the sharks etc swimming above her. Would definitely go again.
