    Excellent aquarium with lots of fishes. It included the Great Barrier Reef. Easy to spend a day in there.

    Day well spent with Family.

    Raju_B, Mar 2026

    Bronda_L, Feb 2026
    Aquarium was very clean and lots to look at. We were fortunate to be there right when they opened and did not have to wait long or deal with any crowds.

    Must see!

    Joanne_W, Jan 2026
    Love the aquarium, especially the sharks and penguins. The penguin ride was cool, get to experience how cold it is for them.

    Worth it!

    Michelle_C, Jan 2026
    Although it was quite crowded, holiday travel. We had a splendid time. Lots to see. Very informative

    It was an ok experience

    Laura_S, Jan 2026
    Extremely busy and unable to see anything. Taught there be more to see too. People very rude and not listening to the staff

    Terrible

    Linda_S, Jan 2026
    Horrible. If your idea of being in a crowded tunnel with screaming kids is your idea of fun you’ll love it, otherwise I’d rather stay home and watch paint dry. They need to control how many people are allowed in. You can barely see half the tanks.

    Take your time

    david_c, Oct 2025
    A little crowded at 1st , im glad it spread out , we enjoyed the Penguins and shark tanks , very kewl

    Fun Afternoon

    Laura_O, Oct 2025
    Lovely afternoon out to the Aquarium. Great interactive displays for the kids to engage with. A couple of hours of entertainment out of the sun, the aquarium is located in Darling harbour too - Great place to explore and make a day of it. We were really impressed by the shark display.

    I cannot remember the...

    Nikkol_A, Oct 2025
    I cannot remember the last time I went to an aquarium but it this one tips the list. We got to touch sea life and see actual penguins!

    Venue is a B minus, overall experience is a C+.

    William_M, Oct 2025
    Average aquarium at best. Nice walk under tank hallways but penguin exhibit is underwhelming and penguin "ride" is about 75 seconds long. Do not expect any feedings, keeper talks or wildlife interactions.

    Amazing

    Margaret_Z, Aug 2025
    5 tunnels where fish and sharks swim over you Had a virtual reality trip to different part of the ocean. We experience humpback whales and the kids did stinray.

    Beautiful Aquarium!!

    Lysette_L, Jul 2025
    Such a great aquarium! We loved the penguin exhibit! The aquarium was larger than expected and there was a lot to do and see!

    Sting rays are HUGE!!

    Terry_P, May 2025

    Debra, Apr 2025
    It’s a nice aquarium and the staff were very friendly. The aquarium isn’t as large as we had expected. Go early during the week.

    A must see - even with all the kids running around

    Laura_M, Mar 2025
    The aquarium was fantastic! Loved the seahorses and the penguins. Lots to see and the pace moving thru the exhibits was perfect.

    Great adventure!

    Toby_Y, Mar 2025
    We found the Zoo very interesting and a great adventure. So glad we took the fairy and saw the sites in the harbor.

    An average aquarium to visit.

    Patty_C, Feb 2025
    Crowded. Lots of children. Interesting. Loved seeing the sharks and rays. Too many strollers. Very expensive!

    There were interesting...

    Richard_C, Jan 2025
    There were interesting creatures we hadn't seen before. One large tank had lots of algae which made viewing a little more difficult and made it look dirty and unkept. They did explain the algae happens in the warm months when there is so much natural light in those tanks that were affected. There is a Sea Life at the Mall of America where we are from that seems much cleaner.

    Wonderful for kids

    Elena_N, Jan 2025
    This was a wonderful experience! My kid absolutely loved it. Even though we went during school holidays, it still didn't feel crowded and was easy to navigate.

    Wonderful experience

    Sarah_K, Jan 2025
    The penguins exhibit was really fun to watch as well as all the fish & sting rays swimming around me. All the exhibits were well done and informative. We learned a lot about sea life that we did not know before. Glad we went.
