A really good place to visit! I especially enjoyed the sharks, eagle rays, sea turtles and the adorable penguins. The underwater tunnel was a highlight a truly amazing experience. It’s also very kid friendly, with plenty to explore and enjoy. Definitely worth a visit for families.

Great experience for kids. They would really enjoy the visit. Lots of information also available as you pass through different sections. Reserve a good few hours to this place. It's great to see the massive sharks over your head as you pass through the glass ceiling walkways. Also there is a dugong inside one of the tanks. Also Penguins!

We had a fantastic time at the Sydney SEA LIFE Aquarium! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was spot on—the smells, sounds, and lighting all created an immersive underwater world that felt exciting and calming at the same time. The set designs and exhibit structures were incredibly well done, making you feel like you were journeying through real aquatic environments. We were also impressed by how well-thought-out the layout was—easy to follow, never felt crowded, and everything flowed naturally. All the animals were visible and active, which made the experience even more magical. From vibrant fish and graceful rays to the playful penguins and sharks, everything looked healthy, happy, and absolutely gorgeous. Best of all, it wasn’t overly busy when we visited, so we had plenty of time to enjoy each exhibit without feeling rushed. Truly a highlight of our Sydney trip—perfect for both kids and adults. Highly recommended!

It was a very lively experience. I went with my best friend to go to this, as I haven’t been there from when I was a very young little lad in a stroller. Now, there was a cross over event happening at the same time, the Animal Crossing event. Keep that in mind. The crowds were a mix, it can be overwhelming but you get used to it. However I would keep in mind that it can get full around 1-3pm, so, the earlier you go, the better. The aquarium was very beautiful and the mini little info screens about the creature and facts about them was informative and clearly stated well. The creatures themselves was beautiful and the experience to see them was amazing, however, cleanliness of the tanks can be a little bit better, that’s my only criticism I have to say. The Animal Crossing cross-over event was very cute and it is perfect for all ages. I will be clear when I say, they should do something like this for not just that game alone but maybe events for every month to add something extra to the aquarium. The stamp rally and meeting Isabelle was my highlights. In summary; Going to the aquarium bought me back to my childhood where my only way to feel some kind of joy as I was an overwhelmed child with severe autism was going out and seeing cute animals. It made me nostalgic and feel happy to see these creatures to life while I was able to even feel starfishes! Just please clean the tanks and that’s all we ask. 8/10.
