Took my daughter to Sea life aquarium & she absolutely loved it! From the turtles to the playful pengiuns, she was wide-eyed the whole time. The place is super clean and well laid out. Get the pram booking in advance, as they allow only a handful of them inside. It was fun, educational, and perfect for my kid. The fish theatrical was a big hit, and the cafe break was well needed & its location in between was very much thought off by them.

The Melbourne Sea Life Aquarium was a decent visit, but we felt the tickets were a bit pricey considering the size of the venue. We were hoping to see more rare or unique marine species—especially since Australia is surrounded by ocean and known for its diverse marine life. Unfortunately, nothing really stood out or amazed us in that regard. The most memorable part was the enormous crocodile, but due to the distance and viewing angle, we couldn’t get a very clear look. We did spend quite a bit of time at the penguin area—our kids really enjoyed watching them. Overall, we hope the aquarium can introduce more interactive experiences and expand their collection with more vibrant or rare species in the future. It has potential, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Loved our day trip to sea life. Both adults and our baby girl love it. Highly recommended! If you have pram and would like to bring in with you. Remember to book pram tickets in advance (free).

Amazing experience. It is not just only for kids but a unique experience for the adults too. Visited after 6 years. Absolutely worth it. Plenty of options for toilet access if you are with the kids or elderly people in your group. Good food options. Overall a great day. Plan for 6 hrs (including lunch and breaks) to cover everything in detail.

Worth a visit, we chose to go on a random Monday out of School Holidays and it was still quite busy so it’s worth to get your tickets in advance and choose off peak times for entry. It is a wonderful place for the little ones, lots to see, feel and explore. I thought the official printed photos were a bit expensive but they have a fun simple foto both that is just perfect for a simple candid memento. Would recommend
