It was an amazing experience for my kid. Loved it I gave four not five star because when we went they had so many school excursions that's we couldn't see peacefully. It was total chaos.

Had such a great experience at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium! The booking process through Headout was super easy and straightforward, and our tickets worked perfectly with no issues at entry. The aquarium itself was amazing so many beautiful marine animals and the underwater tunnel was definitely a highlight. Everything was well organised, clean, and enjoyable from start to finish. Would absolutely recommend for a fun day out in Melbourne!

The penguins look depressed. they are all standing cramped in their cage. The swimming area wasn't open and some were pacing back and forth which isn't good for animals in captivity.

It was really easy to book and then enter the SeaLife already ticketed. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit as the displays were informative and gorgeous to view.
