Very smooth entry after purchasing tickets online - they appeared in the app and were very easy to use. There was no queue at the aquarium for our prepaid ticket holders when we arrived. The aquarium is so well set out with such an amazing array of displays. We absolutely loved our visit !!

Sea life was awesome, they had a boat ride that takes you close to and around the penguin enclosure and wonderful underwater tunnels! We loved toranga zoo, I love how open and accessible the enclosures felt especially with the giraffes and gorillas, the Seal show is a must we got in line early to ensure a good spot at the front as seats fill up fast! The only thing I would say is it is probably best not to get the ferry inclusion on your tickets as it's super easy to get a ride from the public ferries and they operate more frequently than the private ferry.

Tour 9 exhibits at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and encounter incredible aquatic life like dugongs, sharks, jellyfish, penguins, seahorses, and more.

Interact with virtual baby turtles as you guide them safely to the water's edge and walk through the bio-luminescence in the motion-sense display at the Great Barrier Reef exhibit.

Meet a few mischievous Gentoo penguins on the Penguin Expedition, a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get up close and personal with these sub-Antarctic birds.

Fancy saving up to 50% while seeing more of Darling Harbour? Grab a 2, 3, or 4-attraction pass. Everything’s within a short walk, and you have 30 to 60 days to visit.

Did you know? The largest population of Dugongs is found in Australia. They were once believed to be mermaids by seafarers.

The guide was great and very knowledgeable. The boat was nice - clean and comfortable. Although we didn't get any close ups of whales we did briefly see a couple.
