A fun time and the staff really enjoy educating people on the wildlife especially when schools do visits. It a lovely experience to learn about sea life and see it first hand. With the new attraction of Pesto the huge baby penguin, the aquarium has gotten a little bit more busy even during weekdays, so please be mindful of that. It is also a bit pricey.

Never ending fun! We just love coming to visit Sea Life as there are endless fun to enjoy with many different animals. We love looking around and meeting all the animals but there are few sections that are empty and lift was not working so it was not fully convenient. Lots of options for families and kids to explore and nice seating and dining areas! Free 4D movie is fun but can be upgraded. Cafes and shops are offering good options. Parking is always the ones near or across and I paid $12 flat as it’s weekend. View outside was really nice today. We also enjoyed VR session and want to try other episodes next time. We are annual member for many years but we visit very often to have fun and it never gets old as there are something always exciting. All the staff were absolutely friendly and photo taken at the beginning is always fun👍 There was a big fluffy penguin and it was just so cute💕 animals are just marvellous. Highly recommending👍👍

It was an outstanding aquarium experience with lots of kids. The staff there were very attentive and explain everything . They are very knowledgeable. The most attractive event was penguin parade. It was heart touching. And the under water tunnel, you can see many fish there. Nice place to sit and watch the see life without knowing the time. At last nice gift shop .

A great choice for the trip!! It's been a long time since I've been to the aquarium and this place is completely mesmerizing! The flora and fauna are very diverse, love all of them and especially the jellyfish! Absolutely stunning !! The other visitors were very polite and the staffs were extremely attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!!

You can purchase online or in a place where I don’t think there will be a huge difference. The ticket cost more than I expected since it is a public holiday; it cost around $51, which I think is a lot, but it is still worth it. They have a cute map, and you do need one cause I find the place easy to get lost with a lot of escalators and corridors. I was surprised that I got to touch a shark egg, which I had never imagined I would see in my life. The jellyfish lab is fantastic, and there are a lot of educational corners if you are keen to learn something. You got to see different kinds of penguins as well, which is surprising, but I feel sad that vast amounts of them are squeezing into the small tank. There is an amazing gift shop at the end with various of creatures dolls, and you can always find one you like.
