I visited SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium with my family, and it was our very first time there — and also our first time being together in Australia. It turned into such a special day for all of us. The exhibits were beautiful, the staff were friendly, and everything was easy to navigate as a family. The highlight for us was definitely the penguins. Watching them up close was magical and made the whole experience unforgettable. My family absolutely loved it, and it was the perfect way to celebrate being reunited. Highly recommend for families, first-time visitors, and anyone looking for a memorable day out in Melbourne.

Very smooth entry (but could have used my email tickets for that). Would have been useful if I had multiple entry tickets to different events but the other things I wanted to do which were listed online were not actually available in the app which was frustrating (The Antarctic Centre in Christchurch).

Visit two of Melbourne’s top attractions in a day — underwater wonders at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium and rich natural and cultural stories at Melbourne Museum.

See sharks, rays, penguins, jellyfish, and more at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium, with immersive ocean tunnels, themed zones, and interactive exhibits.

I've always wanted to visit the museum but thought that it wouldn't be very exciting or interesting, wow was I wrong, we were so amazed at everything there. We have already converted our tickets to a family yearly membership and will be visiting again very soon.

We were able to experience the new exhibition as well as explore the free exhibitions throughout the museum. We'll definitely be back as we ran out of time to see everything.

We had a great day. The exhibits were amazing. Personally I enjoyed the Coat of Arms & having the opportunity to take photos with Phar Lap.
