A mass death trap waiting to happen.

It was terrible, I could barely walk it was so full, they need to cut down the amount of people they let in, and NO PRAMS!! I had people bashing into into me repeatedly, you can barely see any of the fish with the amount of bodies in the way, I wouldn’t say it was unfairly priced if you could actually enjoy the experience, but seeming how so much of it was just walking without seeing anything I wish I kept the money. There was not enough staff putting the crowds into order either, you had kids running around, prams everywhere, people walking in random directions which is a serious trip hazard. If there was a fire, people would die. The amount of people in there you would be crushed and could never get out. Would not recommend at all. Save your pennies for a drink on the rocks.
Totally worth it!

We enjoyed this so much! It was breathtaking. The Dugong and penguins were a nice change compared to other aquariums. It was pretty busy so buying tickets beforehand is a good idea to skip the queues.
One of the best aquarium museums you'll ever see.

I thought the presentation, layout and variety of species on display was excellent. The walkways through the large tanks was a great way to observe and get up close to the sea life. Give yourself plenty of time. I spent close to two hours taking in the exhibits.
Value for money

Sydney Sea Life Aquarium was very good. Saw a lot of sea life and there were talks being held by the staff there. They were very knowledgeable. Also got to see a Dugong which I wasn’t expecting and is well cool! Sea life experience is well worth the money.

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.

If you don't mind being surrounded by screaming children then this is a great attraction. Everything was neat and well arranged.
Venue is a B minus, overall experience is a C+.

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.
