Wow!! The penguins are amazing!! Its a very lovely place to stroll around for children as young as 2 to check out the varieties of sea life they have there. The best part is the touch section of the aquarium where the children get to feel the some of the ocean life which is a great sensory activity for the children. The rangers are great with their talks and they really engage them and get them to participate in the talks. The walk through tunnel with the sharks swimming above is pretty amazing too as you can see manta rays and other sorts of sea life. My daughter and nephew loved going and looking around the place.

How good are the penguins. We go every year and i was just blown away by them. The displays change regually and there is always something to see and do. The touch pools are super fun, so relaxing looking at all the fish. Its no wonder there is always a que to get in and around. Food expensive but arent all attractions.

Loved going here, and my son loved it. The tunnel is so cool, picked my son up, and had a shark come right up to the glass! The food there its good, alittle dear but ok. Great family thing to do. Loved it ! I love watching the sting rays, thay were so big!

Great place and location. My 14 month old at the time had a great time in the big aquarium room and the penguin section. Can be a bit pricey but we bought our tickets online for entry after 3pm which was nearly $10.00 cheaper per person. If we were to go again we would go in the afternoon due to the price.

Approximate cost: $25-$35

This place is a highlight of melbourne. Heaps to see and do. Great family day out. A must see place. Easy acess by public transport. You may have to pay to park if you drive.

This place is amazing! Lots to see and do, great for the kids & old folk alike. Plenty to make you ooo and ahh at and you can even have some touching time with different creatures. Definitely a school holiday attraction but being close to public transport you dont even have to worry about parking.

Loved taking my kids here! It is shorter than I expected, but it was lovely to take the time to sit and watch the sharks etc in that middle area (while eating homemade lunch....no rules against it...yay). My kids and I enjoyed every second of it. Despite me spending more than I intended, it was a great to see and learn all about the aquatic creatures, and have the chance to feed sharks, fish and rays. Photo chances everywhere, but still couldn't resist the personalised photo booklet at the end. We'll be coming again (with another entertainment book voucher).

Although the cost is a little high, we loved it here. When we first walked in, there was a real car with fish swimming around in it. Looked amazing. Everything is attractive and interesting to look at. Does get busy, so go early. Definitely a place to visit.

my kids love the melbourne aquarium. its such a beautiful place. only 2 downsides it strangely has a cafe that mainly serves seafood? and it is a very short experience for the money. don't expect to be at the aquairum all days you will be lucky to be in there for more than an hour. i would love to go to a funtion there with all the fish around. its a lovely setting.

No matter how overpriced we adults feel the aquarium is the kids always love it! I feel that you are in and out in about two hours which can be a good thing with young kids! We always feel that there should be more but oh we'll. we usually use a buy one get one free ticket from the entertainment book!
