It is a beautiful aquarium, but the pricing is beyond the reach of the average family in 2025. No such thing as an affordable day out anymore. With all sorts of add-on purchases getting out through the gift shop with kids looked like fun.

Was a small line. Got your photos taken on the way in. Really loved this place. Interactive stuff for kids. Lots of marine life to look at. Pesto was top tier. Everyone got a chance to see him. The staff were amazing and super friendly. You can tell they really love the animals and care about what they do The jellyfish and science labs were very intriguing. Lots of photo ops. Really easy lay out to follow. There are toilets. Really good gift shop at the end. We had a great time.

When we came here, there wasn't a line up to get in, so we didn't have to wait long at all. You can go at your own pace and spend as long as you like getting photos, etc. The displays are very informative. If you take the time to read the information along the way, you'll find out a lot of cool facts. We didn't take any food with us so we stopped at the cafe and got a feed. It was OK. Our youngest is 11, and she loved it all.

Overall experience is good, children will enjoy the time inside! Active and healthy sea creatures makes you feel alive,Penguins made me happy which is at the very end of the aquarium trail. You can download the pictures they take as digital copies or get them printed for $10-12(only photos) and $40 for the photos with album. Don't miss the 4D theatre where they screen Happy Feet!

Tickets were a bit pricey but honestly so worth it. Beautiful aquarium with incredible tanks and penguin exhibit. It gets really busy during the day (even on a weekday) which can be expected, but my overall experience was good! The penguin exhibit seemed a bit small and confined considering the large amount of penguins in it but it was so fun to get up close with them and see them swimming! My favourites were definitely the sharks, turtle and ray.
