Went to the Aquarium with the family. We had a great time seeing all the creatures of the sea. Kids loved it. Just some constructive criticism. It was a bit too crowded and the other thing. We only got to see 2-3 sharks. I remember the last time I went there was a lot more sharks. I really think you guys need to have more sharks in there. Don’t know whether they were hiding but I only seen 3. Please address this as I know I lot of people go there wanting to see the sharks. Regardless I do recommend families take their kids cos it’s a wonderful experience for them to see all these beautiful sea creatures.

This is a fantastic, at-your-pace, walk-through aquarium located at Darling Harbour in Sydney, NSW. They have one of the only three captivated Dugong in the world, and it's name is Pig. It was rescued in 1998 and has been released once with poor results, so it lives here for it's safety. The animals' welfare seems to be in great condition, which is good to see since I feel a certain type of way towards any Zoo. I would recommend it if you're interested in local wildlife information and suggest visiting earlier in the day.

I absolutely love visiting Sea Life! I have been many times, and each time, I have been amazed. This occasion was no exception. We came on a Sunday afternoon. Tickets can be a little pricey ($51 per adult). If you visit on a weekday, the cost is a bit cheaper. There are also packages and group tickets which can be purchased and these help bring the cost down. The ticket lets you stay at the aquarium for as long as you like. All the enclosures and displays are well organised and arranged, and this really helps make easy and fun viewing throughout the aquarium. It can get quite busy and crowded at times, but foot traffic generally flows well. There is a rock pool area where you can get hands-on with various small marine life. Throughout the aquarium, there are also numerous plaques and displays informing visitors of environmental issues and conservation efforts. I appreciated this. The highlight for me was definitely being in the underwater enclosure and watching the stingrays gliding around. I found it really peaceful! I would highly recommend visiting Sea Life and look forward to going again.

Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is an incredible experience for all ages! With stunning exhibits like Shark Valley and the Great Barrier Reef, you get up-close views of diverse marine life, including sharks, rays, and even dugongs. The Penguin Expedition is a highlight, offering a fun boat ride to see adorable penguins. Perfect for families, it’s both educational and entertaining—a must-visit in Sydney!

This was a short walk from the hotel where I was staying, and well worth it. The exhibits and tanks all had a nice amount of information available, it's family friendly, plenty of bathrooms, and some extras of visitors want to partake. I didn't take the penguin ride, but I did pay a little extra for the VR ride, which was quite fun. The place is also clean, and there were plenty of sanitizing stations. Definition a place to hit if you're visiting the area.
