Came here on a weekday morning, averagely busy in addition to lots of school kids. Was able to get a car spot nearby. The aquarium wasn’t too cold but still wore a light jacket indoor. Entry price not too bad. We tried the VR shark experience, however, shame this was included in the entry. The penguin show was good. The only negative was the cafe. The cheese I brought was all mouldy. There is lots of restaurants next to the harbour for same price.

A very well presented aquarium with lots of things to view. The penguin show and seal show were both entertaining and educational. We did a behind the scenes tour which was terrific. Book ahead for a discount and to ensure you get in.

It’s not outstanding but it is worth going. The seal show is short but good fun. The tunnel is great viewing sharks, rays and fish up close

Ridiculously expensive for a place my family could walk through in under 20 minutes easily. The food was extraordinary prices and can say with utter certainty that a Bunnings snag tasted better than what was served. The gift shop felt like we were rushed through and for a $200+ day trip including tickets we left after viewing everything they had to offer in under 2 hours and that included stopping to eat. The only thing they could touch was a slug and starfish very underwhelming experience and more of a money grabbing experience in my opinion.

Had been a very long time since we visited last time with our kids and we returned this time with our two grandsons it was a really nice day loved the Kelly fish and the seals. We think it could do with a little bit of a upgrade especially the cafe But overall the kids had a lovely day and we will visit again.

Wow!! What an incredible setup this is. I visited over 10 years ago and the improvement is astounding. So many things I have not seen before. The seal show was very well done and even the cafe had really good variety. Definitely going back.

We've been to Sea Life centres around the world but this ranks as the best we've been to so far. From the really great layout and the friendly staff, to the incredible displays, this was a really great few hours spent with friends (human and marine-kind). The tour starts with a tidal touchpool, familiar to us from other centres but no less fun. Those around us seemed to enjoy it too - the sea cucumber was so soft (little ones have to be uber careful with this gorgeous thing). The seahorse kingdom was an absolute revelation to me and I spent so much time there. I've seen seahorses before but never the variety of shapes and colours there are here. There is so much to see and do here, with play areas, a cafe, the obligatory gift shop, the ocean tunnel (with regular talks from staff talking through what you can see), penguins, and loads and loads of jellyfish! But the absolute must-see, stars of the show, do whatever it takes to see it, is the seal show. Brilliant to watch, heart warming and actually gives a little bit of hope for the future of marine life. We loved it and came away buzzing. From what I could see the whole experience is fully accessible with ramps as alternatives to stairs where needed. Toilets were clean and relatively plentiful, and the cafe well stocked with drinks and snacks. We had a fabulous time here and would recommend it to anyone and everyone

Arriving later in the day we were able to wander at will, but all the activities were over for the day. Not a criticism at all, but worth keeping in mind.
