Beware scam on digi photos
gillgill999,Mar 12, 2026

3.00Overall we enjoyed the aquarium though we have visited many better ones including Perth. The experience was rather spoiled by the intrusive background music and the poor labelling and overall felt over -commercialised. Visitors should beware that the digi photos included" free" with your entrance is just a scam to get your credit card details. We were shocked that the aquarium is associated with such fraudulent practice.
Smooth entrance, no...

5.00Great experience always a great place to take kids. Lots to see and do especially the Penguin ride. Good value for money if you buy tickets online or get a discount code. Very expensive if it’s just a walk in.
Very depressing

1.00Extremely depressing. The small penguin cage made me want to cry. The large seas creatures are in very small tanks and all look depressed. Was worse than I could have imagined.
Must see!
