Absolutely loved going to the Aquaruim. The exhibits were truly breathtaking and incredible. The staff was so courteous and lovely. From the start to finish it was amazing. The only issue was finding everything as not proper signage and map is unclear. My daughter found the perfect soft toy at the end of day.

We had a fantastic time visiting the aquariums and seeing all the amazing sea life. We were a little disappointed that we couldn't see the penguins though we understand that they have just refreshed up the exuding habit and were letting the penguins get use to it before opening it up to the public.

Getting my ticket prior to the day made my entry easy and even though I arrived a little earlier than my time I was able to enter with no hassle. Loved the Sealife aquarium too!

It was ther first time I have been there and I surprised my 9 year old niece from Tassie for her birthday. It was all amazing we loved it but we missed the pinguins!

Marvel at the Mermaid Garden’s enormous oceanarium, home to nurse sharks, stingrays, and more.

Catch sight of over 10,000 sea creatures from across the globe, from jellyfish to majestic rays.

Come face-to-snout with Coowonga, Melbourne's only saltwater crocodile, in Croc Lair.

Check out the new Rocky Shores zone and meet quirky rockpool creatures, from spiky sea stars to clever decorator crabs and slimy sea cucumbers.

Upgrade to a Penguin Passport and step onto real ice in snow gear, meet penguins like Pesto, and go behind the scenes on a guided tour.
